FAQs

How do I clean the tan leather?

For routine cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for tan leather, following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Are these ballet flats true to size?

Clarks generally adheres to standard UK sizing. However, fit can vary slightly per individual. It's recommended to refer to a size guide or try them on if possible.

Do these shoes offer arch support?

The Fawna Lily features a moulded contour cushion footbed designed to provide comfort and support by cradling the foot's natural shape. While it offers good underfoot comfort, individuals requiring significant orthopedic arch support may need to consider additional inserts.

Can I wear these for long walks?

The soft rubber outsole and contour cushion footbed are designed for comfort during everyday wear and moderate walking. For extensive long-distance walking or hiking, specialized athletic footwear would be more appropriate.

What is the footbed made of?

The footbed is a moulded, part-recycled contour cushion design, engineered for comfort and support.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

While the leather is durable, these ballet flats are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, as it can damage the leather. A water-resistant leather protector spray can offer some defense against light moisture.

What kind of outfits do these shoes complement?

These versatile ballet flats complement a wide range of styles, from business casual attire like tailored trousers and skirts to everyday wear such as jeans, capris, and summer dresses, thanks to their classic design and neutral tan color.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

Apply a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to absorb moisture. If the squeak persists, it might be due to the outsole rubbing, which usually subsides with wear.

Leather feels stiff initially

The premium leather will soften and mold to your foot over time. Wear the flats for short periods initially, or use a leather conditioner to help break them in faster.

Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather

Use a specialized tan leather cleaner and conditioner designed to conceal minor imperfections. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair balm might be necessary. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Flats feel loose or too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. Leather can stretch slightly with wear. For slightly loose fits, a thin insole can help. For tight fits, consider gentle stretching methods for leather shoes or consult a professional shoe repair specialist.

  • Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
  • Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially before first wear.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
  • Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge in water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the leather.
