FAQs
Can these shoes be worn in the rain?
It is not recommended. Suede is porous and can be damaged by water; if they do get wet, allow them to air dry slowly.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Befana Bow has a standard fit, but the supple suede material may offer some natural give compared to stiff leather shoes.
How do I clean the suede?
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean, dry sponge to remove surface dirt and maintain the nap.
Is the sole slippery?
The shoes feature a TPR (thermoplastic rubber) sole, which is designed to provide traction on standard walking surfaces.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 0.5 cm, providing a subtle lift while remaining a flat shoe.
Does the bow come off?
No, the bow is a permanent design feature intended to complement the shoe's aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently buff the surface in one direction to lift the fibers.
Minor water spots on suede
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat sources, then use a suede eraser or brush to restore the texture.
Heel grip feels loose
Consider adding thin gel heel liners if you find the shoe slips during walking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As these pumps are made from premium suede, proper care is essential to ensure longevity. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain, as water can damage the suede texture and cause color transfer. If the shoes become dirty, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dust and restore the nap. To protect the material from future stains, apply a suede-specific water-repellent spray before the first wear. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. For the best fit, ensure you are wearing hosiery or thin socks appropriate for a ballet pump silhouette.
