How do I determine the correct size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length accurately and compare it with the provided size chart. Pay attention to the UK sizing. Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary.
Can I wash these shoes?

Thin or no-show socks are generally recommended to maintain the sleek profile of the shoes and ensure comfort, especially given the ballerina style.

What occasions are these shoes best suited for?
They are ideal for casual outings, city walking, light day-to-day activities, and smart-casual events where a blend of style and comfort is desired.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight upon first wear.
Leather will naturally stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially. If persistent, consider a shoe stretcher or consult a cobbler for professional stretching.
Squeaking noise when walking.
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or between the tongue and laces.
Scuff marks on leather or suede.
For leather, use a leather conditioner or a matching color shoe cream. For suede, a suede eraser or brush can help lift light scuffs. Deeper marks may require professional attention.
Discoloration after getting wet.
Ensure shoes are properly dried away from heat. For persistent discoloration, a leather recoloring product matching the shoe's shade might be necessary, applied with care.
