FAQs
Are the Clarks Fawna Lily Ballet Flats true to size?
Clarks footwear generally runs true to standard UK sizing. However, foot shapes vary, so if you are between sizes, consider ordering both to ensure the best fit, or consult a Clarks sizing guide.
Can I wear these flats in the rain?
While the leather is durable, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended as it can damage the material and finish. For light drizzle, they should be fine, but always allow them to air dry naturally if they get wet.
What kind of arch support do these ballet flats offer?
As is typical for most ballet flat styles, the Clarks Fawna Lily offers minimal inherent arch support. The primary focus is on overall comfort through features like heel padding and breathable linings. If you require significant arch support, you may consider adding slim orthotic inserts if space allows.
How do I clean the silver leather?
For routine cleaning, wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For more specific cleaning or to maintain the silver finish, use a leather cleaner specifically formulated for metallic leathers. Always test on a hidden area first.
Is the sole slippery?
The Clarks Fawna Lily features a resin rubber sole engineered for 'ideal grip', providing good traction on most dry, everyday surfaces. However, like any shoe, extreme wet or polished surfaces may reduce grip.
Are there other colors or sizes available for this model?
Yes, the Clarks Fawna Lily Ballet Flat is available in various colors and sizes. This specific product guide is for the Silver Leather, UK Size 9 variant. Please check the product page for other available options.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff or tight initially.
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house for the first few days to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, consider using a shoe stretcher or consulting a cobbler.
Slipping on certain smooth surfaces.
The resin rubber sole provides good grip, but extreme conditions or very polished surfaces can still pose a challenge. Ensure the soles are clean from any debris. If persistent, consider adding self-adhesive anti-slip pads to the sole for enhanced traction.
Feet feel warm or sweaty despite breathable linings.
While breathable, individual foot temperature varies. Try wearing thin, breathable socks designed for flats. You can also use foot powder or shoe deodorizers to manage moisture and odor.
Scuffs or marks appear on the silver leather.
Gently clean the affected area with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper scuffs, a specialized silver leather polish or conditioner may help. Always test any product on an inconspicuous area first. Prevent future scuffs by being mindful of surfaces and storing them carefully.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your silver leather flats.
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, gently wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For specific stains on silver leather, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for metallic finishes, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Apply a suitable leather protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Drying: If your flats get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store your flats in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Keep them in a shoe bag to prevent scratches, especially for silver leather.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials.
