FAQs
Do these shoes run true to size?
The product information suggests that it is recommended to size up in this style, indicating they might run smaller than standard sizing.
What are the shoes made of?
The upper is 100% cotton velvet, the lining is 100% organic cotton with anti-bacterial treatment, and the sole is made from rubber produced from recycled bicycle tires.
How should I clean the velvet material?
Gently brush the velvet with a soft brush. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and dab gently. Avoid soaking or harsh chemicals.
Is the sole durable?
The sole is constructed from recycled bicycle tire rubber, which is known for its durability and resilience.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, velvet is not ideal for wet conditions. It is best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or snow to preserve the material.
Are there other colors available?
This specific product is presented in a dark green colourway. Please check other listings for available color options from Flabelus.
What kind of closure do these shoes have?
They feature a classic buckle closure, which allows for an adjustable and secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or small
As recommended, try sizing up. If you have already purchased, consider wearing them with thin socks indoors to gently stretch the velvet. Ensure the buckle is adjusted to the loosest setting.
Velvet appears scuffed or matted
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently brush the velvet in the direction of the nap. For persistent matting, a steamer held at a distance can help lift the fibers, followed by brushing.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
The recycled rubber sole may have a different grip profile than conventional soles. If slippage is a concern on very smooth surfaces, consider adding a thin layer of tread grip or visiting a cobbler for sole protectors.
Buckle closure is difficult to fasten
Ensure the buckle pin is aligned with the correct hole. If the strap feels stiff, gently work it back and forth. If the buckle is damaged, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These shoes require no assembly. Upon receiving them, check that the buckle closure is secure and adjust it for a comfortable fit. It is recommended to try them on indoors to ensure proper sizing before wearing them outdoors.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your velvet Mary Janes:
- Cleaning the Velvet: Gently brush the velvet with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the nap to remove dust and maintain its texture. For minor stains, use a slightly damp cloth, dabbing gently rather than rubbing. Avoid soaking the velvet.
- Cleaning the Lining: The organic cotton lining can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure the shoes are aired out properly after cleaning.
- Sole Care: The recycled rubber sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid stacking them directly on top of each other to prevent potential marking.
