FAQs
Are these flats suitable for wide feet?
The round toe design provides decent room, but as they are a classic ballet flat, they are best suited for standard foot widths.
Can I polish these shoes?
Use only mild, leather-safe products recommended for varnished finishes to avoid damaging the specific Vernis Tartaruga texture.
What is the best way to store them?
Keep them in the original box away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Is the sole non-slip?
The rubber sole provides good traction for indoor use, though caution should always be taken on wet or icy outdoor surfaces.
What material is the lining made of?
The interior is fully lined with soft, breathable leather for added comfort.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff initially.
Wear the flats for short periods indoors to allow the leather to soften and mold to the shape of the foot.
Visible scuffs on the finish.
Use a soft, dry cloth to gently buff the affected area; avoid vigorous scrubbing.
Slippery insoles.
Ensure the child is wearing thin cotton socks or tights, which can improve grip inside the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, verify the UK size before purchase, as these are tailored specifically for children. To maintain the appearance of the Vernis Tartaruga finish, wipe the exterior gently with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that could scratch the surface. Store the shoes in the provided original shoe box when not in use to keep them protected from dust and potential scuffs. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to stiffen or crack.
