FAQs

What material are the ALOHAS Bumi Ballet Flats made of?

The upper and sole are primarily made of leather, with a glossy finish.

How should I adjust the laces for the best fit?

Thread the laces through the ankle eyelets and tie them at a comfortable tightness. Ensure they are snug enough to prevent the shoe from slipping but not so tight that they cause discomfort.

Are these suitable for all-day wear?

They are designed for everyday use and offer a stylish option. For individuals requiring significant arch support or cushioning for very long periods of standing or walking, additional insoles might be considered.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. While leather can withstand some moisture, prolonged exposure can damage the material and affect the sole. If they get wet, dry them naturally.

How do I clean the glossy finish?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For stubborn marks or to restore shine, a leather conditioner or a specific gloss polish for black leather can be used.

What is the main difference between these and traditional ballet flats?

The Bumi flats feature a modern squared toe and distinctive ankle lace-up detailing, setting them apart from the more classic, rounded-toe, slip-on style.

Troubleshooting

Laces are difficult to tie or come undone.

Ensure laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. Practice tying a secure knot, or consider using a small amount of wax on the laces for better grip.

Leather appears dull or scuffed.

Clean the shoes with a damp cloth. Apply a leather conditioner or a gloss-enhancing polish specifically designed for black leather to restore shine and cover minor scuffs.

Shoes feel tight after initial wear.

Leather will naturally stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially. If significant tightness persists, consider professional shoe stretching services.

Slipping on smooth surfaces.

The leather sole may be slippery. Consider having a cobbler add a thin rubber sole protector or taps to the heel and toe for improved traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stylish and modern update to a classic ballet flat.
  • Lace-up detail provides adjustable and secure fit.
  • Versatile black leather that complements various outfits.
  • Crafted with a leather sole for durability.
  • Appeals to adult women seeking elevated everyday footwear.

Cons

  • Leather sole may offer less grip than rubber soles on wet surfaces.
  • Delicate lace-up detail requires careful handling.
  • Ballet flats may not provide substantial arch support for extended wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear shoes. Simply untie the laces, slip them on, and adjust the lacing to your preferred tightness for a secure fit.

Compatibility: The ALOHAS Bumi Ballet Flats are designed for adult women. They pair well with a wide range of clothing, from casual jeans and dresses to more formal work attire.

Care:

  • Wipe the glossy leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and maintain shine.
  • Avoid excessive exposure to water. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  • Condition the leather periodically with a suitable leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking.
  • Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a dust bag to protect the finish.
