FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, these are designed according to standard UK sizing for adults.
Can I wear these for long periods of walking?
While they are comfortable for daily use, they are designed as fashion flats rather than dedicated walking shoes.
What is the best way to clean the rubber sole?
Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed, then dry immediately.
Can I replace the leather insole?
The insole is integrated into the construction of the shoe; removing it may compromise the fit and structural integrity.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, they are crafted from natural leather and should be protected from heavy rain to prevent water damage.
Is the logo prone to tarnishing?
The enamelled metal triangle is durable, but avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners when polishing the shoes.
Troubleshooting
Strap feels too loose after prolonged wear
Adjust the buckle to a tighter notch to ensure the shoe sits securely against the foot.
Leather appears dull or dry
Apply a small amount of neutral leather conditioner using a soft cloth and buff gently.
Minor scuffs on the leather surface
Use a matching black leather cream or wax polish to blend scuffs into the surrounding material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Prada ballerinas, ensure the adjustable strap is set to your comfort level before initial wear to avoid friction. To maintain the leather's appearance, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It is recommended to use a high-quality leather cream occasionally to keep the material supple. Avoid walking in heavy rain, as excessive moisture can damage the leather finish. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to stiffen or crack.
