FAQs

What is the primary material used for these flats?

The primary materials are paperstraw for the upper and lambskin leather for the trim and lining.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The flats feature an almond toe shape and adjustable straps, which may offer some flexibility. However, they are not specifically designed for wide feet. Trying them on is recommended.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these flats in wet weather, as the paperstraw and leather materials can be damaged by excessive moisture.

How should I clean the paperstraw part of the shoe?

Gently wipe the paperstraw with a soft, dry cloth. For light marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying.

What comes included with the purchase?

The shoes come with a dust bag and a shoe box for storage and protection.

What is the heel height of these flats?

As flats, they have a very low or negligible heel, designed for comfort and a flat profile.

Where are these shoes made?

These shoes are made in Italy.

Troubleshooting

Stiff straps or buckle.

Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to gently break in the leather and straps. Avoid forcing the buckle.

Scuffs on the leather trim.

Use a leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for beige leather. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Paperstraw appears discolored or faded.

Ensure the shoes have not been exposed to prolonged direct sunlight. Store them in their dust bag when not in use.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.

The rubber sole provides traction, but for very smooth surfaces, consider a professional sole treatment if continued slippage is a concern.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile for various occasions, from casual to semi-formal.
  • High-quality materials (paperstraw and lambskin leather) offer a premium feel.
  • Adjustable straps ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
  • Classic almond toe and neutral beige color are timeless.
  • Italian-made quality provides assurance of craftsmanship.

Cons

  • Paperstraw material may require gentle care to avoid damage.
  • Leather sole can be less durable on abrasive surfaces compared to full rubber.
  • May not provide the same level of arch support as athletic shoes.
  • Buckle fastening might be less convenient than slip-on styles for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you try them on a clean, soft surface to avoid marking the soles.

Compatibility: These flats are designed for adult women and are best suited for smart-casual and semi-formal attire. They pair well with dresses, skirts, trousers, and tailored shorts.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the paperstraw and leather with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
  • Protection: Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture or direct sunlight, which can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store the flats in the provided dust bag and shoe box to protect them from dust and potential damage. Keep them in a cool, dry place.
  • Sole Maintenance: The leather insole should be aired out after wear. The rubber sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
