The Flabelus Mary Jane low shoes are designed for adults who appreciate a blend of vintage-inspired aesthetics and sustainable craftsmanship. Featuring a premium velvet exterior and a durable recycled bicycle tire sole, these flats offer a sophisticated yet rustic look suitable for daily wear. While they provide excellent style and comfort, potential buyers should note that the unique rubberized sole requires a break-in period to achieve optimal flexibility.

While they are comfortable for daily errands and office wear, they are designed as lifestyle shoes rather than athletic footwear.
It is not recommended. Velvet is highly susceptible to water damage and staining, and moisture can compromise the shoe materials.
The repurposed rubber provides a unique, textured aesthetic and utilizes waste materials, contributing to a more circular production process.
Using a generic water-repellent spray designed for delicate fabrics may help, but always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Wipe the rubber edges with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that might degrade the rubberized material.
Adjust the strap to the nearest hole provided on the buckle; if necessary, consult a professional cobbler to add an additional hole.
Gently brush the velvet in the direction of the nap using a specialist suede or velvet brush to restore its natural texture.
Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors on carpet to help flex the rubber sole before extended outdoor use.
To ensure the longevity of your Flabelus Mary Janes, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent velvet fading. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature—avoid using high-heat sources like radiators. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust or surface debris from the velvet pile. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can affect the structure and the integrity of the adhesive used for the tire-based soles.
