Product Information
Full details
The Down to Earth Perforated Ballet Pump is a versatile, everyday footwear choice for women who prioritize comfort without sacrificing a polished, professional aesthetic. Crafted from genuine leather with an elegant perforated design, these pumps are perfect for long office days or relaxed weekend outings; however, users should note that the flat sole design offers minimal arch support for those who require orthotic inserts.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they are manufactured to standard UK sizing; however, since leather stretches slightly, they should feel snug but not tight upon purchase.
Can I wear these for long walks?
While they are comfortable for daily activities and moderate walking, they are not athletic shoes and may not provide enough support for high-mileage walking.
Are they suitable for rainy weather?
Because of the perforated design, these pumps are not waterproof and are better suited for dry conditions.
How do I clean the perforated areas?
Use a soft-bristled brush or a dry microfiber cloth to gently clear any dust trapped inside the small perforations.
Can I use my own orthotic insoles?
These pumps feature a built-in cushioned insole; if your orthotics are removable, you may be able to swap them, but we recommend checking the fit carefully.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon first wear
Leather is a natural material that will soften and mold to your feet over the first few days of regular use.
Minor scuffs on the surface
Use a neutral leather cream or conditioner applied with a soft cloth to buff out superficial marks and restore the shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These ballet pumps are ready to wear straight out of the box. For best results, ensure your UK size 7 fit feels secure without pinching the toes. To maintain the quality of the leather, store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Clean the exterior by gently wiping with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
