GANNI Sue Ballerina Box Oleatex - Black - Heels & Pumps - UK 7

Gently pull on the ends of the wax laces to tighten or loosen the fit across the top of your foot. Tie them securely in a bow or knot once you have achieved your desired comfort.

Oleatex is a synthetic material that has minimal stretch. The adjustability comes from the laces, allowing for a custom fit rather than material stretching.

The adjustable crossover laces allow for some degree of width adjustment. However, individuals with very wide feet may find them snug if the volume across the midfoot is substantial.

Oleatex is a material used for the shoe's upper, offering a distinctive crinkle texture. It is typically composed of polyurethane, polyester, and cotton, providing a unique visual finish.

While the leather sole offers some protection, the Oleatex upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material's finish and integrity.

Wipe the leather sole with a dry or slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a product specifically designed for calf leather, ensuring it does not affect the upper material.

The wax laces may require a gentle pull to adjust. If they remain stiff, a very small amount of beeswax can be applied to aid in smoother adjustment, but use sparingly.

Ensure the shoes are clean. Use a dry, soft brush to gently remove any dust. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions directly on the crinkle finish unless specifically recommended for Oleatex.

The design is meant to be adjusted. Loosen the crossover laces considerably, slip your foot in, and then re-tighten the laces to your comfort level for a customized fit.

The calf leather sole is durable but can be affected by moisture and abrasion. Consider applying a leather protector spray suitable for soles and avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions. Professional resoling services can be used when necessary.
