FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
Yes, these are specifically designed as 'WideFit' ballet flats, aiming to provide more comfort and room for individuals with wider foot shapes.
What is Contour+ Comfort Technology?
Contour+ Comfort Technology is an advanced system integrated into the shoe's construction to provide a premium fit and enhance all-day comfort by adapting to the natural contours of the foot.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a damp cloth for general cleaning. For stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner, and always condition the leather afterward to maintain its suppleness. Avoid soaking the shoes.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 1/2 inch (or about 1.5 cm), offering a subtle lift.
Are these shoes vegan?
No, the upper is made of leather, and the linings are synthetic, with some recycled materials used in the insole and other components. They are not considered vegan.
What does 'responsibly sourced leather' mean?
It means the leather used is obtained from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group, indicating adherence to environmental and ethical standards in leather production.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, these ballet flats are not designed for heavy rain. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the leather and affect the shoe's structure.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Allow the shoes to break in gradually. Wear them for short periods initially. The Contour+ technology is designed to adapt to your foot over time. If discomfort persists, consider if the size or width is appropriate.
Leather upper shows water spots or stains
For minor water spots, let the shoes air dry naturally away from direct heat. For stains, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing on a small area first. Condition the leather after cleaning to restore moisture.
Bow detail becomes loose
If the bow becomes loose, it may require careful re-stitching by hand using a matching thread. For significant damage, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
The TPR sole offers some traction, but new shoes can sometimes be slick. Consider adding a non-slip sole protector or scuffing the soles lightly on a rough surface to improve grip.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for your shoe's finish, following the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Lining and Insole: The synthetic lining and partially recycled insole can be spot-cleaned gently with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the material.
- Sole: The TPR sole is durable. Clean with a damp cloth. For scuffs, a magic eraser might be effective, but use with caution.
