FAQs

What is the primary material of the Diesel D-Mile ballet flats?

The upper is primarily made of 100% polyester with metallic paneling, and the sole is made of 100% rubber.

How should I clean the metallic upper?

Gently wipe the metallic paneled upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.

Can the laces be removed?

The elasticated laces are a design feature and are integrated into the shoe. While they can be untied, they are not meant to be fully removed.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The shoe features a classic ballerina silhouette with a rounded toe and an elasticated lace closure. Fit can be adjusted somewhat by the lacing, but individuals with very wide feet might find them snug.

What is the sole height?

The sole height is approximately 1.5 cm at its highest point.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The shoes are constructed with polyester and rubber, offering some resistance to light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.

What kind of occasions are these flats best for?

These flats are ideal for casual everyday wear, urban outings, and semi-casual events where a stylish yet comfortable shoe is desired.

Troubleshooting

Laces are tangled or difficult to tie.

Gently untangle the laces by hand. If they feel stiff, a very slight dampening might help, but ensure they dry completely before use.

Metallic finish appears dull or scratched.

Attempt to gently buff the affected area with a soft, dry cloth. For minor dullness, a specialized shoe cleaner for metallic finishes might be effective, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

Ensure the rubber soles are clean and dry. For added traction on very smooth surfaces, consider applying a thin layer of clear shoe sealant or purchasing traction pads designed for flat shoes.

Fit feels too loose or too tight.

Adjust the fit by re-tying the elasticated laces around the ankle. For a tighter fit, tie them more securely. For a looser fit, tie them more gently or leave them less taut.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These ballet flats require no assembly. Upon receiving, ensure the laces are untangled and free of obstructions. You can choose to tie the delicate black laces around the ankle for a secure fit or style them more casually.

Compatibility: The D-Mile flats are designed for adult women and pair well with a variety of casual and semi-casual attire. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions due to their polyester and rubber construction.

Care Instructions:

  • Outer Material: Wipe the polyester and metallic paneled upper gently with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the metallic finish and material.
  • Sole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth. Ensure it is dry before wearing to maintain grip.
  • Lining: The textile lining can be spot cleaned with a mild detergent and water. Allow to air dry completely.
  • Storage: Store the ballet flats in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve their color and material integrity. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
