FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind the Tyre Ballerinas?

The design is inspired by the dynamism and resilience of street tires, influencing the characteristic flexible and abrasion-resistant sole.

What materials are the Miu Miu Tyre Ballerinas made from?

They are made from a combination of technical fabric (100% Recycled Polyamide) for the upper, with suede leather detailing, a textile lining and cover sole, and a 100% rubber outer sole.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The description does not specify width fitting. The sporty velcro fasteners offer some adjustability, but it's recommended to try them on if possible for best fit.

How should I clean the suede and technical fabric?

Use a soft brush for general cleaning. For stains, it is best to consult a professional shoe cleaner experienced with mixed-material footwear. Avoid soaking the shoes.

What is the heel height of these ballerinas?

These ballerinas feature a pleasant, flat heel.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the suede and technical fabric uppers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to maintain their condition.

Where are these Miu Miu ballerinas manufactured?

They are manufactured in Italy.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or marked

Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, consult a professional shoe care service.

Velcro fastener losing grip

Clean the velcro surfaces gently with a small brush to remove any lint or debris that might be preventing a secure closure.

Sole shows signs of wear

The tire-inspired sole is designed for durability, but heavy use may cause wear. For significant wear, consult a cobbler for potential sole repair or replacement options.

Discoloration from water exposure

Avoid prolonged exposure to water. If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. For significant discoloration, professional cleaning is recommended.

Care Instructions:

  • Uppers: For the textile and suede components, use a soft brush to gently remove dust and dirt. For stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in mixed-material footwear. Avoid excessive water contact, especially with the suede.
  • Sole: The synthetic rubber sole can be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth. Ensure the sole is dry before storing.
