FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, since they are leather, they will conform to your foot shape over time.
Can I wear these for long walks?
They are designed for general daily use and commuting, but like most ballet flats, they lack the specialized cushioning required for long-distance walking.
How do I clean the leather?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and use a professional leather conditioner to keep the material supple.
Are the studs secure?
Yes, the studs are durably attached as part of the Nellie Flex design, but avoid dragging your feet on rough surfaces to maintain their integrity.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
The Nellie Flex features a standard flat sole; it does not contain built-in orthopedic arch support.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels too stiff during first wear
Wear the flats for short periods indoors with medium-thick socks to help gently stretch the leather.
Hardware appears dull
Gently buff the studs and buckle with a soft, microfiber cloth to restore shine.
Minor surface scuffs on the leather
Use a matching leather polish or cream to buff out small blemishes and restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nellie Flex flats remain in pristine condition, regular care is essential. Since they are made from genuine leather, it is recommended to use a high-quality leather cleaner or conditioner periodically to prevent drying or cracking. If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp or damage the leather. For the metallic studs and buckle, a soft, dry cloth is usually sufficient to buff away fingerprints and maintain their luster. Compatibility-wise, these shoes fit standard sizes, but if you have a wider foot, you may find that the leather takes slightly longer to mold to your shape.
