FAQs

Do these shoes run true to size?

Yes, the Ganni Sue Ballerina Box Oleatex runs true to size. It is recommended to order your usual size. The adjustable laces allow for minor fitting adjustments.

How do I adjust the crossover laces for the first time?

On your first wear, untie or loosen the existing knot. Slide the laces through the metal eyelets to create a gap that accommodates your foot comfortably, then re-tie them securely.

What is Oleatex material?

Oleatex is a synthetic material, often a blend of polyurethane, polyester, and cotton, designed to mimic the look and feel of leather with unique finishes like crinkle textures. It offers durability and a distinctive aesthetic.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the Oleatex upper offers some resistance, it is not fully waterproof. The calf leather sole can be susceptible to water damage if exposed for prolonged periods. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

What is the best way to clean the crinkle texture?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the surface. Avoid rubbing vigorously, which could alter the texture. For deeper cleaning, consult a professional shoe care specialist.

What type of sole do these shoes have?

These shoes feature a flat sole made from 100% calf leather, providing a classic finish and comfortable wear.

Are there other color or material options available?

This specific guide focuses on the Ganni Sue Ballerina Box Oleatex in Black, UK 5. Ganni may offer this style or similar styles in different materials (like leather) and colors. Please refer to the retailer's full product listings for other variations.

Troubleshooting

Laces are difficult to adjust

Gently pull the laces through the metal eyelets to adjust. If they feel stiff, a very small amount of beeswax can be applied to the laces (test on an inconspicuous area first).

Shoes feel too tight or too loose

Re-adjust the crossover laces. Loosen them for more room or pull them tighter for a more secure fit. Ensure you have adjusted them properly for your foot shape.

Crinkle texture appears to be flattening

This is a natural characteristic of the material over time. Avoid excessive creasing and store the shoes properly when not in use. Gentle manipulation of the material may help restore some texture.

Scuff marks on the Oleatex material

For minor scuffs, try gently wiping with a damp, soft cloth. For more persistent marks, consult a professional shoe repair service specializing in delicate materials.
