Full details
The Naturalizer Maxwell-Bit Skimmer Ballet Flats are designed for adult women who prioritize long-term comfort without sacrificing professional aesthetics. These flats offer a significant boost in wearability thanks to the brand's proprietary cushioning system, making them an ideal choice for office settings or long days on your feet; however, users with extremely wide feet may find the narrow-to-rounded toe box profile requires a brief breaking-in period.

FAQs
Are these flats suitable for wide feet?
While the Contour+ technology is flexible, the round-toe design is standard. If you typically require a Wide (W) width, you may want to try a half-size up.
How do I clean the leather?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away dirt. For scuffs, use a black leather cream or polish to restore the color.
Can I wear these all day at work?
Yes, they are specifically designed for all-day comfort with a cushioned footbed and ergonomic 1/2 inch heel.
Are they waterproof?
They are made of real leather, which is water-resistant but not waterproof. We recommend applying a protective leather spray.
Does the metallic chain hardware rust?
The hardware is high-quality and resistant to tarnish, but should be kept dry to ensure it retains its finish.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors with medium-thick socks to help gently stretch and soften the leather.
Slight slipping at the heel
Apply adhesive heel grips inside the back of the shoe to secure the fit if you are between sizes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As these are slip-on shoes, no technical setup is required. To ensure longevity, it is recommended to treat the leather with a water-repellent spray before first use, especially if living in a rainy climate. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking. To maintain the shine of the metallic bit hardware, wipe occasionally with a soft, dry cloth. When not in use, store these shoes in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help them retain their structural shape.
