FAQs
Are these flats true to size?
Clarks generally adheres to standard UK sizing. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up, though individual fit can vary. Info needed: [specific sizing recommendations if available from brand].
How do I clean the metallic leather?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for metallic finishes, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Can I wear these flats in rainy weather?
As these flats are made of leather, they are not waterproof. While light moisture is generally fine, prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to prevent water damage and maintain the leather's quality. If they get wet, dry them properly as outlined in the care instructions.
Do these flats offer arch support?
The Fawna Lily Ballet Flats feature additional heel padding and breathable leather linings for comfort. However, specific information regarding advanced arch support is not provided. For significant arch support needs, personal orthotics or inserts might be considered. Info needed: [details on specific arch support technology if applicable].
What is the sole made of and how is its grip?
The sole is made of resin rubber, which is designed to offer ideal grip and stability on a variety of everyday surfaces. This material provides reliable traction for general wear.
Is the bow detailing durable?
The bow detailing is an integral part of the shoe's design, crafted to be durable for everyday wear. While robust, care should be taken to avoid snagging or excessive pulling to maintain its pristine appearance.
Troubleshooting
Metallic finish appears dull or scuffed.
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. For scuffs, use a specialized metallic leather repair product if available, or consult a professional shoe care specialist. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Leather feels stiff or uncomfortable.
Wear the flats for short periods to allow the leather to naturally break in and mold to your foot. A leather conditioner can help soften the material.
Foot odor develops.
Allow the flats to air out between wears. Using foot powder or odor-absorbing inserts can help keep them fresh. Ensure breathable socks are worn if preferred.
Slipping on certain surfaces.
While the resin rubber sole offers good grip, exercise caution on extremely wet, icy, or highly polished surfaces. The sole is designed for general traction, not extreme conditions.
Stains on the leather.
Address stains immediately. For common liquid spills, blot gently with a clean cloth. For specific stains, consult a professional leather cleaner or use a product designed for leather stain removal, testing first on an inconspicuous area.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your metallic full-grain leather flats, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the metallic leather surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust or light dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically formulated for metallic or delicate leathers. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Avoid conditioners that may dull the metallic finish.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray (suitable for metallic finishes) to help repel water and stains.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Never use a hairdryer or artificial heat, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store your flats in a cool, dry place, ideally in a dust bag or shoe box to protect them from dust and potential scuffs. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of them.
