FAQs

What is the primary material of these ballerinas?

The main body of the ballerinas is crafted from soft smooth nappa leather, featuring a suede toe and mesh panels.

Are these shoes suitable for long periods of standing or walking?

Yes, they are designed with a flat sole that ensures lightness and comfort, making them suitable for extended wear during everyday activities.

How should I clean the suede toe?

Use a suede brush to maintain its texture and remove light dirt. For more significant marks, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid using water directly on the suede.

Can these ballerinas be worn in wet weather?

No, these shoes are not designed for wet conditions. Exposure to water can damage the leather, suede, and mesh materials.

What is the significance of the logo detailing?

The shoes feature distinctive branding, including a charm and metal detail with the Love Birds logo on the bow strap, and metal rings on the lower strap arranged to form the iconic PINKO lettering logo.

Do these shoes offer arch support?

These are flat sole shoes designed for comfort and style, and as such, they do not provide significant built-in arch support. If you require substantial arch support, consider using custom or over-the-counter insoles.

What sizes are available?

These ballerinas are available in various adult UK sizes. Please refer to the product listing for the current availability of sizes.

Troubleshooting

Strap comes undone during wear

Ensure the bow is tied securely. If the material is new, it might loosen slightly; re-tie as needed until it settles. Consider a double knot for added security if preferred.

Suede toe appears dry or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a professional suede cleaner, following product instructions.

Leather shows minor scuffs

For light scuffs, a soft polishing cloth may be sufficient. For deeper scuffs, a matching color leather balm or cream can help to conceal them. Always test products on a hidden area first.

Fit feels slightly loose on the heel

The slingback design inherently relies on the strap for heel security. Ensure the strap is adjusted to provide a snug fit. If the issue persists, consider using a discreet heel grip insert.
