Q: Do L’Amour Shoes run big or small?

Angel Baby Shoes (the baby line by L'Amour shoes) runs big in general, by almost a size. For L'Amour Shoes, our mary janes and t-straps generally run true to size (unless otherwise noted). Some of our flats run small, while our sandals run big. This information is all noted on the product page. Once you've decided on a style, we highly recommend reviewing the product page for any sizing notes (and the size chart if needed). Don't hesitate to email us at support@lamourshoes.com if you need further guidance on sizing.

Q: What materials are L’Amour Shoes made from?

Most L’Amour Shoes are made from high-quality leather with durable rubber soles. This standard is one our customers have come to expect. Our shoes are designed to last and often become keepsakes tied to childhood milestones and memories.

Q: How do I care for L’Amour Shoes?

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and avoid submerging the shoes in water. Leather will naturally soften over time and mold to your child’s feet. For tougher marks, cleaning solutions such as Jason Markk can be used, especially on the outsole. When applying any cleaner to leather, always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

1. Are L’Amour Shoes good for first walkers?

Yes! Angel Baby Shoes (the baby line by L'Amour Shoes) are designed for babies and toddlers taking their first steps. They are lightweight with flexible rubber soles that support natural movement and provide comfort and stability. Angel Baby Shoes are generally wider and roomier (compared to L'Amour Shoes) and generally feature a hook-and-loop velcro strap for easy on-off.

2. Who usually buys L’Amour Shoes?

Moms and grandmothers choose our shoes for everyday wear as well as for special occasions, including first days of school, birthdays, holidays, christenings, and memorable moments. Our styles are classic and timeless, yet versatile enough for the everyday. We are honored that grandparents who once bought our shoes for their children now buy them for their grandchildren. Our shoes are a favorite for gifting. In fact, moms who used to wear our shoes now buy them for their littles.

3. Are L’Amour Shoes better for everyday wear or special occasions?

Both - our shoes can be dressed down or up. Many families love dressing their children for family pictures, portraits, holidays, and special events, while others dress them specifically for school, church, and casual wear. The majority of our shoes are made of leather, and while they are designed to be long lasting and of good quality, no leather shoe is truly free from risk of scuffing, depending on how the shoe is worn (or dragged in some cases!). We are pleased to report that most of our customers are very satisfied with the quality and life they get out of L'Amour Shoes.
