FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they are designed to fit standard UK sizing, though the pointed toe may make the front of the shoe feel narrower than a round-toe style.
Can these be worn in the rain?
As they are leather, it is best to avoid heavy rain as prolonged moisture can damage the material and potentially cause staining.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
These flats provide basic flat-sole comfort; if you require significant orthotic arch support, you may wish to add a slim, adhesive insert.
How do I maintain the shine of the black leather?
Regularly wipe with a dry cloth to remove dust and apply a neutral or black shoe polish when the leather starts to look dull.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are typically integrated into the footbed, so they are not designed to be removable.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight across the toes
Use a professional shoe stretcher or wear the flats with thick socks at home for short periods to gently expand the leather.
Leather surface shows light scuffs
Apply a high-quality leather cream matching the black color to buff out minor imperfections.
Slippage at the heel
Apply a self-adhesive silicone heel grip to the inside of the heel counter to improve the fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your & Other Stories flats maintain their appearance, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Since they are made from genuine leather, it is recommended to use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. For light cleaning, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and let them air dry naturally. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this can degrade the leather finish.
