FAQs

How do I tie the bungee laces for the best fit?

The bungee laces can be adjusted by pulling the cords. You can secure them by tucking them or tying a knot at the desired tightness across the foot, or wrap them around the ankle and tie them securely for a different look.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The bungee lacing system offers some adjustability, which can accommodate slightly wider feet. However, the overall fit depends on the specific width of your foot compared to the shoe's standard design.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather and rubber sole offer some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the materials.

What type of socks should I wear with these ballet flats?

No-show socks or thin ankle socks are recommended to maintain the sleek look of the ballet flats. You can also wear them without socks, as the interior is designed for comfort.

How do I clean the mesh parts of the shoe?

Gently wipe the mesh with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a very mild soap solution on the cloth and rinse carefully with another clean, damp cloth. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely.

What is the main difference between this model and traditional ballet flats?

The main difference lies in the sporty aesthetic, featuring a flexible rubber sole, zig-zag detailing, and the unique bungee lacing system that allows for adjustable fit and styling, unlike traditional slip-on ballet flats.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel too loose or too tight

Adjust the bungee lacing by pulling or loosening the cords to achieve your desired fit. The laces can be secured at the top or wrapped around the ankle.

Leather appears scuffed or dry

Use a leather conditioner or balm to restore moisture and shine. For scuffs, try a matching color polish if necessary.

Mesh area feels dirty

Gently wipe the mesh with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Allow to air dry completely.

Sole shows signs of wear

Regularly clean the rubber sole to prevent dirt buildup. For significant wear, consult a cobbler for potential repair options.
