FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Mary Jane style with an adjustable buckle offers some flexibility. However, due to the almond toe shape and specific construction, individuals with very wide feet may find them more comfortable in larger sizes or different styles. It's recommended to check measurements or try them on if possible.
Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?
These shoes are primarily made of fabric and mesh with leather trim and a rubber sole. While the rubber sole offers some protection, the upper material is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the material.
How do I clean the metallic fishnet material?
Use a soft, dry cloth for regular dusting. For spot cleaning, a slightly damp cloth with a very mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
What is the heel height of these flats?
These are described as flats, meaning they have a very low or negligible heel height, prioritizing comfort and a sleek profile.
What does 'Made in Italy' signify for these shoes?
'Made in Italy' is traditionally associated with high standards of craftsmanship, quality materials, and fashion design expertise in the footwear industry.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
It is recommended to store them in the original shoe box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity to maintain their shape and material integrity.
What is the purpose of the adjustable buckle?
The adjustable buckle allows you to customize the fit across the top of your foot, ensuring both security and comfort throughout the day.
Troubleshooting
Buckle is difficult to fasten
Ensure the buckle prong is aligned with the correct hole before attempting to fasten. If stiffness persists, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied sparingly to the buckle mechanism.
Fishnet material snagged or torn
Minor snags can sometimes be gently teased back into place with a fine needle. For significant tears, repair is difficult; consult a professional shoe repair specialist for advice.
Slight discomfort after initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure the buckle is adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit.
