FAQs
Are these flats comfortable for long walks?
Yes, the rubber sole provides decent shock absorption, but they are fashion-oriented footwear and may not provide the arch support of dedicated walking shoes.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. The fabric mesh can absorb moisture and dirt, and excessive water may weaken the structural integrity of the shoe.
How do I determine my size?
These flats typically follow standard Italian sizing. We recommend referencing the brand's official size chart to match your foot measurement to the European size.
Will the fishnet fabric stretch over time?
Like most high-quality fabric footwear, the material may relax slightly to fit your foot shape, but it is designed to hold its structure.
Where are these shoes manufactured?
These Alaïa Fishnet Ballet Flats are proudly made in Italy.
Troubleshooting
Mesh fabric caught on an object
Do not pull the snagged thread. Gently use a pair of tweezers or a small needle to ease the loop back into the weave pattern from the underside if possible.
Buckle strap feels stiff
Gently work the leather strap back and forth through the buckle to soften the material, ensuring you do not apply excessive force to the mesh connection point.
Rubber sole shows signs of wear
Wipe the soles with a damp cloth to remove debris and salt. If the rubber is wearing thin, consult a professional cobbler for a protective sole guard application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because of the delicate mesh construction, proper maintenance is essential. To keep your flats in peak condition:
- Storage: Always store in a dust bag to prevent the mesh from catching on other items in your closet.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush to gently remove surface dust. If the leather trim becomes soiled, use a damp, lint-free cloth with a mild leather conditioner.
- Avoid Moisture: Keep the flats away from excessive water or abrasive surfaces that could compromise the fabric integrity.
- Fit: Utilize the buckle strap to adjust the tightness; ensure it is not so tight that it stretches the mesh fabric beyond its intended shape.
