Product Information
Full details
The Odissi Woven Tie-Fastening Ballet Flats are designed for the adult woman who values a blend of artisanal braided aesthetics and reliable, everyday footwear. These leather flats provide a sophisticated look suitable for professional and casual settings, featuring a secure tie-fastening ankle strap for added stability. While the premium leather offers a high-end feel and durability, potential buyers should note that the flat sole lacks the arch support found in specialized athletic footwear, making them better suited for shorter durations of standing or walking.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, these are designed to fit standard adult UK sizing; however, individual foot shape can vary, so feel free to use thin socks to test fit if you are between sizes.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While durable, they are made of premium leather and should not be submerged in water or used in heavy rain to prevent staining and potential leather damage.
How do I secure the tie-fastening?
Simply wrap the laces around your ankle and tie them in a standard bow. Adjust the tension until comfortable and secure.
Is the sole slippery?
The sole is designed for general everyday surfaces. Always use caution on smooth, wet, or polished flooring.
Does the brand offer other sizes?
Yes, the Odissi Lima and related series are available in various UK sizes ranging from 3 to 6.5.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon first wear
Leather naturally softens with body heat and movement; try wearing them for short periods around the house to break them in.
Ankle strap frequently loosens
Ensure the knot is pulled tight and double-check that the lace is correctly threaded through the eyelets.
Minor scuffs on the leather
Use a leather cream or wax matching the black colour to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the tie-fastening is snug but comfortable; do not over-tighten, as this may strain the leather eyelets over time. For compatibility, these flats match well with neutral-toned professional wear, denim, or seasonal dresses. To maintain the leather's appearance, store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources. Wipe down the exterior with a soft, dry cloth after use to remove surface dust. If the leather encounters water, allow it to air dry naturally away from radiators. Consider using a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
