Product Information
Full details
The Diesel D-Mile ballet flats are designed for adults seeking comfortable and versatile footwear. Their key benefit is a blend of classic style with breathable materials for all-day wear. A potential caveat is that they are specifically a low-shoe style, not offering ankle support. These flats combine a classic ballet silhouette with breathable mesh panels, lace-up details, and refined stitching for a polished look, featuring a leather upper, mesh lining, and rubber outsole.

FAQs
Are the laces adjustable?
The lace-up details on the Diesel D-Mile flats are primarily decorative and are not functional for adjusting the fit of the shoe.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole of the Diesel D-Mile ballet flats is made of rubber, providing durability and traction.
How should I clean the mesh parts of the shoe?
Gently wipe the mesh panels with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this could damage the material.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather and mesh upper are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to maintain their condition.
What is the heel height or sole height of these shoes?
The sole height at its highest point for the Diesel D-Mile ballet flats is approximately 1.5 cm.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The description does not specify width options. They feature a slightly rounded toe, which may offer some comfort, but for very wide feet, a specific wide-fit shoe might be more appropriate.
What is the primary material for the upper?
The upper of the Diesel D-Mile ballet flats is primarily made of leather.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the size guide for accurate measurements. Ensure your foot is measured correctly, considering both length and width. If between sizes, consider the next size up for a potentially more comfortable fit, especially if socks are intended.
Discomfort during initial wear
New leather shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing is not too tight if it were functional (though decorative here).
Mesh panels feel stiff
This is normal for new mesh. With wear, the mesh will soften and conform to the foot's natural movement.
