Product Information
Full details
The Flabelus Mary Jane is designed for adults who appreciate a vintage-inspired aesthetic combined with sustainable craftsmanship. These flats offer a luxurious feel thanks to their premium velvet upper and breathable organic cotton lining, making them an ideal choice for everyday elegance. Note that because the soles are crafted from recycled bicycle tyres, the grip and texture may differ from standard mass-produced rubber outsoles, requiring a brief adjustment period for new wearers.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
While they are comfortable for daily city use, they are designed as fashion flats rather than athletic footwear and may not provide support for intense trekking.
How do I clean the recycled tyre sole?
Simply wipe the sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt; avoid harsh chemicals or detergents that could damage the rubber compound.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is recommended to avoid heavy rain, as velvet is a delicate fabric and prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the texture and color.
Does the velvet material stretch over time?
Velvet can soften and slightly adapt to your foot shape, but it does not stretch significantly like untreated leather.
What is the primary material used for the lining?
The lining is made from 100% organic cotton to provide comfort and breathability.
Troubleshooting
Buckle strap feels too loose or tight
Adjust the buckle pin to the next hole to customize the tension across your instep.
Surface dust or lint on the velvet
Use a specialized velvet brush or a soft lint roller to gently clean the surface, moving in one direction.
Soles feel slippery on smooth floors
New soles often need a short 'break-in' period to gain traction; walk on slightly abrasive surfaces like concrete for a few minutes to scuff them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Flabelus shoes maintain their appearance, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the velvet over time. If the velvet accumulates dust, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris in the direction of the nap. Because of the organic cotton lining, avoid getting the shoes completely soaked; if they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from artificial heat sources like radiators. The buckle closure should be adjusted to a comfortable tension that keeps the heel from slipping without constricting circulation.
