FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Bardot Ballet Flats are designed with a standard width. While they offer a slip-on style, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. Checking reviews or trying them on if possible is recommended.
How durable is the woven upper?
The woven upper provides a stylish look and breathability. It is best suited for casual wear and can be susceptible to snagging on rough surfaces. With proper care, it should hold up well for regular use.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
These shoes are not designed for wet weather. The woven upper is not waterproof and prolonged exposure to moisture could damage the material and affect comfort. It is best to wear them in dry conditions.
What is the return policy if the size doesn't fit?
Please refer to the retailer's specific return policy for details on exchanges or returns due to sizing issues. Typically, unworn shoes can be returned within a specified timeframe.
Do these flats offer arch support?
These are casual ballet flats and do not feature significant built-in arch support. For those needing extra support, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for flats.
How do I clean the footbed inside the shoe?
The interior can be spot-cleaned with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure it dries completely before wearing to avoid discomfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly tight
Vegan materials can often stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them around the house for short periods to allow them to conform to your foot shape. Ensure you are wearing the correct size; refer to the sizing guide if unsure.
Woven upper snagged
For minor snags, carefully try to tuck the snagged thread back into the weave using a fine-tipped tool like tweezers or a needle. For significant damage, professional repair might be an option, or it may affect the shoe's overall appearance.
Slight odor after wear
Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Use a shoe deodorizer or a sachet of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult women. They pair well with a variety of casual outfits including jeans, capris, shorts, skirts, and casual dresses.
Care: To clean, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from the woven upper. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the vegan materials and woven texture.
