Is the footbed removable?
Yes, the Fawna Lily Ballet Flats feature a removable Contour Cushion footbed, which allows for easy cleaning or replacement with custom orthotics if desired.
Are these shoes suitable for formal events?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or rub
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially. For persistent rubbing, consider wearing thin socks temporarily or using shoe stretchers for targeted areas. Ensure you have the correct size.
Leather appears dull or scuffed
Clean the shoes with a damp cloth, then apply a suitable black leather conditioner to nourish the material. Follow with a black leather polish and buff gently to restore shine and cover minor scuffs.
Footbed feels less comfortable over time
The Contour Cushion footbed is removable. If comfort diminishes significantly, inspect the footbed for wear. While designed for lasting comfort, prolonged heavy use might necessitate replacement if available, or consider adding a thin, supportive insert.
Shoes develop an odor
Allow the shoes to air out thoroughly after each wear. Remove the footbeds occasionally to air them separately. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or sprinkle baking soda inside and let it sit overnight, then shake it out.

Care:
To maintain the premium black leather and extend the life of your Fawna Lily Ballet Flats, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe off any dirt or dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for black leather. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is especially important if the shoes are worn frequently or exposed to dry conditions.
- Polishing: Use a black leather polish to restore shine and cover minor scuffs. Apply with a soft cloth and buff to a sheen.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet (remember, they are not water resistant), stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your ballet flats in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags as leather needs to breathe.
