FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Poppy Ballet Pumps have a standard fit. If you typically require a wider fit, they might feel snug. It's advisable to try them on if possible or check reviews for feedback on width.
How do I clean the white material without damaging it?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. For more persistent dirt, a mild soap solution or a dedicated white shoe cleaner can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Can these be worn in wet weather?
While the shoes can handle light moisture, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material and prolong their lifespan.
What type of socks should I wear with these?
These shoes pair well with no-show socks or thin dress socks. Thicker socks may affect the fit and comfort.
What is the heel height?
Ballet flats typically have a very minimal or flat heel, designed for comfort and ease of wear, usually less than an inch.
How do I store these to keep them looking new?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with acid-free paper can help maintain their shape. Keeping them in their original box or a dust bag is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in. Using thicker socks during this period can help stretch them slightly. Ensure you have the correct size.
White material showing scuffs or marks
Use a specialized shoe cleaner for white footwear and a soft cloth to gently remove marks. For persistent scuffs, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Ankle strap is loose or uncomfortable
Adjust the strap to the most secure yet comfortable setting. If the strap consistently causes discomfort or is faulty, consider if a minor alteration by a cobbler is possible, or if the shoe size/fit is not ideal.
