FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

These ballet flats feature a standard width. If you have wider feet, they may feel snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consider shoes specifically designed for wider widths.

How do I clean the embroidered parts?

Gently spot clean the embroidery with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid rubbing vigorously, as this could damage the threads. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.

What type of socks or hosiery are best with these flats?

No-show socks or sheer nude-colored hosiery are ideal to maintain the aesthetic of the ballet flats. They can also be worn barefoot for a more casual look.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

These ballet flats are not designed for wet conditions. The material may be damaged by excessive moisture, and the embroidery could be affected. It's best to avoid wearing them in rain or on wet surfaces.

What is the heel height of these flats?

These feature a very low block heel, providing minimal elevation for comfort and stability without adding significant height.

How should I store these ballet flats when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box or a soft dust bag can help maintain their shape and protect the embroidery.

Do these flats offer arch support?

As typical with ballet flats, these shoes offer minimal built-in arch support. For those needing additional support, consider using custom or over-the-counter orthotic insoles.

Troubleshooting

Embroidery appears loose or snagged.

Carefully trim any loose threads with small scissors. If significantly snagged, professional repair may be necessary. Avoid rough surfaces when wearing.

Slight discomfort after initial wear.

Ballet flats may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thin insoles or heel grips for added comfort if needed.

Fading of light pink color.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store the shoes in a dark place and use shoe protectors designed for light-colored footwear.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.

Consider applying a rubber sole grip or having a cobbler add a thin rubber sole for improved traction, especially if you plan to wear them on polished or wet surfaces.
