FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Speedcat Ballet is designed as a fashion-focused lifestyle shoe and does not contain the cushioning or stability features required for running.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dry, soft brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a suede cleaner specifically formulated for luxury suede products.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Generally, the Speedcat series fits true to size, but the ballet design has a slim fit. If you prefer a wider fit, consider sizing up by a half size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede and the structural integrity of the rubber sole. Spot clean only.
Is the sole flexible?
Yes, the sole is designed for flexibility to mimic a driving shoe, providing a comfortable range of motion for daily walking.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean eraser to gently lift the fibers back to their original texture.
Elastic bands feel too tight
Ensure the bands are laying flat against the foot; if tightness persists, consider using a thinner sock or walking to break the material in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are slip-on by design; ensure the elastic bands are centered across the bridge of your foot to maintain consistent tension and comfort.
Compatibility: The low-cut silhouette pairs best with slim-fit trousers, jeans, or summer skirts. If wearing with socks, opt for "no-show" or low-cut liners to preserve the intended ballet aesthetic.
Care: To maintain the suede, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and dirt regularly. Avoid wearing the shoes in heavy rain, as water can damage the suede texture. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the material from hardening.
