FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Nellie Flex flats typically follow standard adult sizing, but as they are made of genuine leather, they may offer a snug fit initially before molding to your feet.
Can I wear these in the rain?
Leather is porous and can be damaged by water. It is recommended to apply a leather-safe water repellent spray and avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
How do I clean the dome studs?
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe the studs. Avoid liquid cleaners as they may seep into the leather and cause staining.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The structure of the Nellie Flex is standard; however, the soft leather upper provides more flexibility than synthetic alternatives.
What should I use to store them?
Store in a fabric dust bag or a shoebox to protect the leather from dust and light when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Buckle feels loose over time
Adjust the strap to the next hole to tighten the fit or have a professional cobbler add an extra hole if needed.
Leather surface shows light scuffs
Use a leather cream matching the black tone to buff out minor abrasions gently.
Stiffness when first worn
Wear the flats for short periods indoors with socks to allow the leather to naturally soften and stretch to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nellie Flex flats remain in pristine condition, regular care is essential. Upon first use, ensure the buckle is fastened to your comfort preference to avoid excessive stretching of the leather straps.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe the leather surface with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove dust and debris.
- Use a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to prevent the material from drying or cracking.
- Keep the metallic dome studs clean by gently buffing them with a microfiber cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that could tarnish the finish.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and leather deformation.
- If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.
