FAQs
Are these Clarks Fawna Lily Ballet Flats true to size?
Clarks footwear generally runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size of 6.5 for these ballet flats. If you are unsure, consider consulting a Clarks sizing guide for more detailed measurements.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain or wet weather?
No, these ballet flats are specifically noted as not water-resistant. Exposure to water can damage the leather, potentially causing staining, cracking, or loss of shape. Please avoid wearing them in rainy or wet conditions.
How do I properly clean white leather shoes?
For routine cleaning, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or scuffs, use a dedicated white leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth, following the product's instructions. Always finish by applying a white leather conditioner to keep the leather hydrated.
Do these ballet flats offer arch support?
Ballet flats, including the Fawna Lily, typically offer minimal arch support. If you require additional arch support for comfort or specific foot conditions, we recommend considering a slim, supportive insole designed for flats.
Are they suitable for walking long distances?
While comfortable for everyday wear and light walking, these ballet flats are not designed as performance walking shoes. For extended periods of walking, a shoe with more substantial cushioning, arch support, and sole flexibility would be more appropriate.
What type of outfits pair best with white leather ballet flats?
White leather ballet flats are highly versatile. They pair beautifully with spring and summer dresses, tailored trousers for a smart-casual look, capri pants, skirts, or even dark wash jeans for an elegant everyday style.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel a bit stiff initially.
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially with thin socks to help them conform to the unique shape of your feet.
White leather appears dull or dry.
Clean the shoes with a damp cloth and then apply a quality white leather conditioner or cream. This will moisturize the leather and help restore its original luster and color.
Shoes accidentally got wet.
Immediately stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause cracking.
Minor scuffs or marks on the white leather.
For light scuffs, try gently rubbing with a soft, clean eraser. For more persistent marks, a specialized white leather cleaner or touch-up cream designed for leather shoes can be effective.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your white leather ballet flats, follow these care guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the shoes regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust.
- Spot Cleaning: For tougher marks, use a small amount of mild leather cleaner (like saddle soap) applied with a soft cloth. Gently rub the affected area, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth.
- Conditioning: Apply a quality white leather conditioner or cream every few months to keep the leather moisturized, supple, and to prevent cracking. This also helps maintain the white color.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray specifically designed for white leather to repel minor spills and stains (ensure it's suitable for your type of leather first).
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your flats in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and light.
