FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The knit upper offers a flexible fit, which can accommodate a range of foot widths. However, they are designed with a standard width in mind. Trying them on is the best way to determine if they suit your specific foot shape.
Can I wash these ballet pumps in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, particularly the Dynamicush™ sole and the knit upper. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the advised method.
How durable is the knit upper?
The Nylon-Mix Knit upper is designed for flexibility and breathability. While reasonably durable for everyday wear, it is advisable to avoid abrasive surfaces or snagging to prolong its life.
What is Dynamicush™ technology?
Dynamicush™ is Fitflop's advanced cushioning technology. It features firmer, supportive cushioning in the heel and softer, more responsive cushioning in the forefoot, designed to provide all-day comfort and reduce foot fatigue.
Are these pumps waterproof?
No, the pumps are not waterproof. The knit upper is breathable, which means it will allow air and moisture to pass through. They are suitable for dry or lightly damp conditions, but not for heavy rain or puddles.
What occasions are these best suited for?
These ballet pumps are versatile and suitable for casual outings, daily wear, office environments, and smart-casual events. Their comfort makes them ideal for when you need to be on your feet.
Troubleshooting
Pumps feel slightly tight on first wear.
The knit upper is designed to stretch slightly and conform to your foot with wear. Try wearing them around the house for short periods to allow them to adapt.
Slight discoloration on the knit upper.
Use a clean, slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the affected area. Avoid colored cleaning products. Allow to air dry thoroughly.
Reduced grip on the outsole.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and dry. Accumulated dirt or moisture can reduce its slip-resistant properties. Wipe with a damp cloth if necessary.
