Full details

Its key benefit is the blend of a classic ballerina silhouette with a modest block heel, offering an elevated yet practical option for various outfits.

This slip-on pump features a feminine lace bow detail, a durable manmade sole, and a fleece lining for added comfort. The covered block heel provides a subtle lift, making it suitable for pairing with skirts or trousers.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly tight upon first wear.
Synthetic materials often need a short break-in period. Wear them around the house for short intervals to allow them to mold to your feet. If discomfort persists, consider professional stretching if the fit is borderline.
Lace bow detail becoming loose.
Gently try to re-secure the bow. If it significantly unravels, consult a cobbler for professional repair to ensure the detail remains intact.
Slight scuffing on the synthetic upper.
For minor scuffs, try a gentle buff with a soft, dry cloth. For more persistent marks, use a cleaner specifically designed for synthetic leather, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Slipping sensation on smooth surfaces.
Ensure the sole is clean and dry. If the issue persists, a shoe repair shop can apply anti-slip sole grips for added traction.
