FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The flats generally follow standard sizing; however, the pointed toe can sometimes feel snug for those with wider feet.
Can I wear these for walking long distances?
While they are comfortable for daily wear and office use, they are not designed as dedicated walking shoes and lack the advanced cushioning of athletic sneakers.
How should I clean the leather?
Wipe them with a damp, soft cloth and apply a leather-specific conditioner periodically to maintain the shine and texture.
What is the heel height?
The shoes feature a subtle, low-profile wedge heel measuring 1cm.
Are they suitable for rainy weather?
Leather is susceptible to water damage, so it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep puddles.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon first wear
Wear the shoes indoors for short periods with thick socks to gently stretch and break in the leather.
Surface scuffing
Use a matching black leather cream and a soft cloth to buff out minor surface scuffs.
Slippery soles
If the base feels slick, lightly scuff the bottom of the soles with fine-grit sandpaper for better traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your leather flats maintain their appearance, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Use a shoe horn to prevent damaging the heel counter when putting them on. Since these are made from genuine leather, it is recommended to use a high-quality leather cream or polish to keep the material hydrated and free from cracks. For cleaning, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources. Avoid wearing the shoes in heavy rain to prevent water damage to the leather.
