FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Sway Eckige Ballerinas have a standard width. While the leather will soften, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. We recommend checking customer reviews for feedback on fit.
What is the heel height?
These are low-profile flats, meaning they have a minimal to non-existent heel height, designed for maximum comfort and a flat walking experience.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the brand's specific sizing guide, usually available on the product page or brand website, to compare your measurements with their recommended sizes. Pay attention to UK sizing if that is your reference point.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather upper can withstand light moisture, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the leather and prolong their lifespan.
What is the difference between 'Eckige Ballerinas' and 'Ballet Pumps'?
'Eckige Ballerinas' refers to ballet flats with a distinct square toe, while 'Ballet Pumps' typically have a more rounded or almond-shaped toe. Both are low-profile flat shoe styles.
How should I break in new leather shoes?
Wear them around the house for a few hours at a time for the first few days. You can also wear slightly thicker socks to help stretch the leather gently.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
This is normal for new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet.
Leather scuffs or marks
Use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner to gently remove marks. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair balm in a matching color may be effective.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The Cuerolite sole offers good grip, but on highly polished or wet surfaces, caution is advised. Consider adding grip enhancers to the sole if this is a frequent concern.
