Product Information
Full details
The Naturalizer Ballet Flats in Black Leather are designed for the modern adult female seeking comfortable and stylish footwear for everyday wear. Their key benefit is the Contour+ Comfort technology, providing an exceptional fit and all-day comfort. A potential consideration is that while crafted from quality leather, they are best suited for dress or casual occasions rather than strenuous activity. These flats feature a sleek ballet silhouette with a bow detail, d'Orsay styling, a closed pointed toe, and a small 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) heel, all constructed with responsibly sourced leather and consciously packaged materials.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
While the standard fit is designed for comfort, Naturalizer often offers wide-fit options for many styles. Please check the available sizes and widths for the specific product listing.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 1/2 inch, which is about 1.5 cm.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a cleaner specifically designed for leather, and always test on a small area first.
Can I wear these for extensive walking?
These flats are designed for comfort during typical daily activities. For very long distances or strenuous walking, other footwear options might be more appropriate due to their specific design focus.
What does 'Consciously Packaged' mean?
It means the shoe boxes are made from 80% recycled paper and printed with soy-based ink, reflecting a commitment to more sustainable packaging practices.
Are any parts of the shoe made from recycled materials?
Yes, the linings, insole, toe box, and heel counter are crafted from partially recycled materials.
What is the material of the sole?
The sole is made of TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber), which offers durability and reasonable traction.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff on first wear
Leather often requires a short break-in period. Wear them around the house for short durations to allow them to mold to your feet.
Minor scuffs on the leather
For light scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, use a matching color leather polish or cream and apply gently with a soft cloth, then buff.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur between the sole and the insole. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole if removable. Ensure the shoes are completely dry.
Slightly loose fit
Consider using a gel insole or a heel grip for a more snug fit. Ensure you have purchased the correct size; consult the sizing guide if unsure.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Leather: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For stains, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Sole Care: The TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Ensure it is dry before storing.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag, away from direct sunlight and heat.
