FAQs
Are these ballet flats true to size?
Clarks generally aims for consistent sizing. We recommend purchasing your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying them on or consulting a sizing guide, as personal fit can vary.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the leather has some natural resistance, these ballet flats are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the leather. If they do get wet, follow the drying instructions in the 'Care' section.
How do I clean the silver leather?
For basic cleaning, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or to maintain the metallic sheen, use a leather cleaner specifically formulated for metallic or delicate leathers, testing first on an inconspicuous area.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
The Clarks Fawna Lily Ballet Flat is designed with additional heel padding for comfort, but as a classic ballet flat, it offers minimal dedicated arch support. For those requiring significant arch support, insoles may be considered, provided they fit comfortably within the shoe.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made from resin rubber, which is chosen for its durability and excellent grip, providing stable footing on various surfaces.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
This particular variant is a standard fit. Clarks offers some of its Fawna Lily styles in a wide fit option. Please check the product details or 'other variants' for wide fit availability if needed.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or scuffed.
Clean the area with a soft cloth and a leather conditioner or specialized silver leather polish. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional shoe repairer.
Shoes feel slippery on certain surfaces.
The resin rubber sole is designed for grip. Ensure the sole is clean and free of debris. If wear is significant, consider taking them to a cobbler for sole repair or replacement.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes.
Allow the shoes to air out regularly. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight (remove before wearing) to absorb odors. Ensure socks are worn to help absorb moisture.

Care: To maintain the beauty and longevity of your Clarks Fawna Lily Ballet Flats:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks or stains on silver leather, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for metallic finishes. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Apply a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, particularly important for light-colored leather. Reapply periodically as directed by the product.
- Drying: If they get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your flats in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and light, which can affect the leather over time. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape if desired.
