FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

These are standard width ballet pumps. While they offer some flexibility due to the material, they may not be ideal for individuals with significantly wide feet.

Can I wear these in the rain?

The patent leather offers some protection against light moisture, but they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent damage to the material and ensure comfort.

How do I clean the patent finish?

Wipe the patent surface with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a cleaner specifically designed for patent leather or a small amount of petroleum jelly, buffing gently with a soft cloth.

What is the best way to store these loafers?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe bag or the original box helps protect them from dust and potential damage. Avoid stacking heavy items on top.

Do these shoes offer arch support?

These ballet pumps have a flat sole design and do not include built-in arch support. For those needing additional support, consider using custom or over-the-counter insoles.

Are they true to size?

Sizing can vary slightly. It is recommended to consult the brand's size guide and consider reviews for specific fit information. They are designed to be a standard fit.

Can I wear these shoes in very hot weather?

Yes, their lightweight and thin material makes them a good choice for very hot weather, providing comfort and breathability.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight upon arrival.

As they are made of patent leather, they may require a short break-in period. Wear them around the house for short intervals to allow them to mold to your feet. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate.

Scuff marks on the patent leather.

Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent marks, a specialized patent leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly applied with a soft cloth may help. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

New shoe soles can sometimes be slippery. You can lightly scuff the soles on a rough surface like concrete or use a sole grip spray designed for shoes to improve traction.

Inside of the shoe is uncomfortable.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks or hosiery. If discomfort persists, consider using thin insoles or heel grips for added cushioning or to prevent rubbing.
