FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
These ballet flats are designed with a standard width. While the leather will adapt over time, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them more comfortable with a brief break-in period.
Can I wear these in rainy weather?
The leather upper is not waterproof, and prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. While the TPR outsole offers some grip, it's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions to protect the leather.
How do I clean the silver finish?
Wipe the silver leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners which could damage the finish. A specialist leather cleaner for metallic finishes can be used if necessary.
What is the expected lifespan of these flats?
With proper care and regular maintenance, including cleaning and conditioning, these leather ballet flats are designed to last for a considerable time, adapting to your wear patterns.
Does the silver color fade or tarnish?
High-quality metallic finishes are generally durable. However, avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals can help maintain the integrity of the silver color over time.
Can I replace the insole if needed?
The insole is typically integrated for comfort and support. While not designed for easy replacement, the breathable leather sock aims to provide lasting comfort.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Wear the shoes for short periods at home to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Slipping occurs on wet surfaces.
While the TPR outsole is grippy, it's important to exercise caution on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free of debris.
Scuffs or marks on the silver leather.
Gently buff the affected area with a soft, dry cloth. For more persistent marks, a leather cleaner designed for colored leather might be used sparingly, followed by a suitable leather conditioner.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Conditioning: To maintain the leather's suppleness and prevent drying, use a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear periodically.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a dust bag, to protect them from moisture and dust. Stuffing them with tissue paper can help maintain their shape.
- Outsole Care: Keep the TPR outsole clean by wiping it with a damp cloth. Ensure the outsole is dry before wearing to maximize grip.
