| Ordering Shipping Policies Troubleshooting Other Questions Ordering: To make sure your shopping experience is victorious please refer to our size chart and double check the accuracy of sizes and style colors in your cart before finalizing your order. Shoe Sizing: We highly recommend measuring your child and adding the allowance to their largest foot measurement- this is the measurement you can compare with our Size Chart. Different styles of Livie & Luca shoes are made on different types of soles, so referring to our size chart is the best way to insure a great fit. Buying for the future or is your child in-between sizes? Going up a size is a safe option, as a child’s foot can grow very quickly! Having toe-wiggling room is key to healthy foot and leg muscle development! Payment Options: We accept Paypal, Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Livie & Luca gift certificates and store credit as payment for web-store purchases. Gift Certificates: Livie & Luca Gift Certificates make the perfect, baby shower, birthday and ceremonial gifts. Let the recipient of the certificate have the joy of choosing the right size and perfect style for their little one. How long can I keep items in my cart? The cart is a visual reminder for our customers of what shoes and sizes they are interested in. Items placed in the cart are not on hold or reserved for the customer. When the availability for a style or size changes, items can disappear from your cart. Once you have completed the checkout process and received your order confirmation number then Livie & Luca will be responsible for fulfilling your order and contacting you with any updates if we are not able to. Please keep in mind that Livie & Luca is not a "big box" retailer. Each shoe is handmade and to reduce our carbon footprint we use remains of high quality leather to make our shoes. In essence, each Livie & Luca collection is a limited edition. If there's a style you must have that is no longer available on our site, we encourage you to shop at any of the fine boutiques that carry Livie & Luca.

Other Questions: My kids and I love our Livie & Luca shoes, but how should I care for them? We recommend gentle spot cleaning for any dirty shoes, keeping in mind the cleaning limitations of the shoe materials. Follow standard care instructions for leather shoes- leather cleaners and conditioners can be a good way to prolong the life of your shoes. Fabric shoes can be gently spot-cleaned with a mild dish-soap and as little water as possible. If your shoes get soaked, stuff them with newspaper to discourage shrinking as they dry, and make sure to change out the newspaper every few hours to keep it as dry as possible. Can I donate my gently used Livie & Luca shoes? Yes! We encourage our customers to send us their gently loved shoes and we will help find second homes for them through a variety of charitable organizations, both domestic and international.
