FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The TOUCHit footbed adapts to your foot shape, offering a degree of flexibility. However, if you have significantly wide feet, they might feel snug initially. Wearing them for short periods can help them adapt.
How do I clean the textile parts of the shoe?
For the textile areas, use a soft cloth slightly dampened with water. Gently blot the area and allow it to air dry. Avoid soaking the material or using harsh detergents.
What is the benefit of the double-buckle design?
The double-buckle design not only adds a chic, modern aesthetic but also provides a more secure fit, helping to keep the ballet flat firmly on your foot and preventing it from slipping off during wear.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the ANTIslide sole offers good traction, the mixed materials (textile and synthetic) are not entirely waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent damage to the materials and ensure comfort.
Are these shoes truly vegan?
Yes, the description states these ballet flats are vegan-friendly, meaning they are made without animal-derived materials.
How does the TOUCHit footbed enhance comfort?
The TOUCHit footbed is designed to mold to the unique shape of your foot, providing personalized cushioning and support. This adaptation helps absorb shock and ensures greater comfort, especially during extended wear.
What kind of occasions are these ballet flats best suited for?
These ballet flats are highly versatile. They are ideal for everyday wear, including office environments, casual outings, shopping trips, or even dressing up for an evening with friends, thanks to their elegant design and comfort features.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
The TOUCHit footbed is designed to adapt to your foot shape over time. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet for maximum comfort.
Buckles feel difficult to fasten
Ensure the strap is aligned correctly with the buckle. If the buckle feels stiff, a gentle wiggle while fastening can help. Avoid forcing it.
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces
Check the ANTIslide sole for any embedded debris like mud or small stones. Clean the sole with a damp cloth and allow it to dry completely. The sole's effectiveness can be reduced if obstructed.
Slight discoloration on textile areas
This may occur with prolonged exposure to moisture or certain substances. Try a gentle spot clean with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, consult a professional shoe cleaner familiar with mixed-material footwear.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your Tamaris ballet flats, we recommend:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the upper with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, especially on the textile elements.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and preserve their shape.
- Buckles: Ensure the buckles are fastened securely but not too tightly to avoid undue stress on the material.
