Diesel D-Mile Low Shoes - Black - Size UK 5

The elasticated bungee laces can be styled in two ways: either tie them securely around your ankle for a fashionable look and added support, or tie them across the top of your foot for a more conventional, secure fit. Experiment with different knot positions to find your preferred level of tightness.

The flats are primarily constructed from supple lambskin leather, complemented by polyester mesh panels for breathability and a modern aesthetic.

While they offer a chic and revamped ballet flat style, their sporty detailing and lacing system make them best suited for casual and smart-casual occasions rather than highly formal events.

Clean leather with a soft, damp cloth and consider using a specialized leather conditioner. Wipe mesh panels gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

The sole is engineered from a rubber compound designed to bend and move naturally with your foot, providing superior comfort and reducing fatigue during prolonged wear.

The bungee lacing system is integrated into the design. While they are not designed to be removed, they are durable elastic laces. If they wear out, a cobbler might be able to replace them.

The zig-zag detailing is a stylistic element that adds a contemporary and edgy flair to the traditional ballet flat silhouette, contributing to the shoe's unique sporty-chic appeal.

Adjust the knot on the bungee laces. If wrapping around the ankle, experiment with different tying points. If locking across the foot, ensure the knot is secure but not constricting.

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner using a soft cloth to restore moisture and sheen. Test conditioner on an inconspicuous area first.

Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a very mild soap solution on a soft cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth and allow to air dry.

This is normal for new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. The ultra-flexible sole should offer comfort from the outset.
