FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
These ballet flats are designed with a regular fit. They may not be suitable for individuals with significantly wide feet. It is recommended to try them on if possible.
How do I clean the leather material?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For deeper cleaning, professional leather cleaning is recommended.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the rubber sole offers some traction, the 100% leather upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent damage to the leather.
What type of socks should I wear with these flats?
You can wear no-show socks, thin dress socks, or go without socks depending on your preference and the weather. Thicker socks may make the fit tighter.
How long does the leather typically take to break in?
The break-in period can vary. Most users find them comfortable after a few wears, typically within the first week of regular use.
Is the bow detail securely attached?
The bow is designed as an integral part of the shoe's aesthetic and is securely attached during manufacturing. However, avoid pulling or snagging it.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to break them in gradually. Using a thicker pair of socks can help stretch them slightly. Consider using leather stretching sprays if stiffness persists.
Leather shows water spots or stains
Wipe the affected area immediately with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn stains, consult a professional leather cleaner. Apply a leather protectant spray to prevent future issues.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free from debris. If the issue persists, you can ask a cobbler to add texture to the sole or apply anti-slip pads.
