FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?

The Mafalda is designed for urban walking and daily wear; however, because they are flat fashion shoes, they are best suited for moderate activity rather than long-distance hiking.

How do I clean the rubber soles?

Wipe the recycled rubber soles with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid getting the velvet upper wet during this process.

Do these shoes run true to size?

The Flabelus Mafalda generally follows standard UK sizing; check your specific foot measurement to ensure a perfect fit with the buckle strap.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended. Velvet is a delicate textile that can be permanently marked by water and mud.

What is the benefit of the anti-bacterial lining?

The organic cotton lining with anti-bacterial treatment helps prevent odors and keeps the interior hygienic, which is particularly useful if wearing the shoes without socks.

Troubleshooting

Buckle feels loose over time

Check the buckle pin and ensure the strap is tucked properly into the loop; if necessary, add an extra hole using a leather punch tool.

Velvet texture appears flattened

Hold the shoe over steam for a few seconds—do not let the shoe touch the water—and use a soft brush to gently lift the fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sustainable, eco-friendly rubber outsole derived from recycled materials
  • Anti-bacterial interior lining promotes foot health and freshness
  • Versatile design suitable for various occasions
  • Secure buckle fastening ensures a customized, stable fit

Cons

  • Velvet material is susceptible to staining if exposed to wet conditions
  • Requires specialized care to preserve the nap of the velvet
  • Not intended for heavy-duty outdoor terrain

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are slip-on Mary Janes with a buckle, setup involves simply adjusting the strap to match your ankle tension for a secure fit. To maintain the velvet, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the red dye over time. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust or surface debris from the velvet nap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water; if the exterior becomes damp, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
