FAQs
Are these ballet flats true to size?
Clarks generally runs true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. We recommend referring to the Clarks size guide for precise measurements or trying them on if possible.
Can I wear these flats for long walks or all day?
Yes, with their Comfort Cushioning and breathable leather sock, these ballet flats are designed for all-day wear and can handle extended periods of walking, making them ideal for daily use and light errands.
How do I clean the white leather to keep it looking new?
Regularly wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a white leather cleaner or a mild soap solution, applied sparingly with a soft cloth. Always test on a hidden area first and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Do these flats offer arch support?
The Clarks Fawna Lily ballet flats feature Comfort Cushioning for general foot comfort. While they provide a degree of support, they are not specifically designed as orthopedic shoes. If you require significant arch support, you might consider adding a thin, supportive insole compatible with ballet flats.
What material is the sole made of?

Are these flats suitable for wider feet?
This particular variant is a standard fit. Clarks does offer 'Wide Fit' options for some of their styles, including other Fawna Lily variants. Please check product descriptions for specific width availability if you require a wider fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable initially
Leather shoes often require a breaking-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house with socks to help the leather stretch and mold to your foot. For persistent tightness, consider using a shoe stretcher or taking them to a professional for stretching.
White leather has scuff marks or dirt
For light scuffs, a white shoe cream or polish can help blend them in. For dirt, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner specifically designed for white leather, following the product instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Feet feel sweaty or less breathable than expected
While the leather sock is breathable, individual foot moisture levels vary. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks (if any) that wick moisture. Consider using foot powder or thin, breathable shoe liners to enhance comfort and dryness.
Squeaking sound when walking
A squeaking sound can sometimes come from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole (if removable) and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe before reinserting it. If the squeak persists, it might be a structural issue and could warrant professional inspection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No assembly or complex setup is required. Simply slip them on and adjust for comfort. For first-time wear, it's advisable to wear them for shorter periods to allow the leather to gently mold to your foot.
Compatibility:
- Wardrobe: These ballet flats are highly versatile. They complement a wide range of outfits, from casual jeans and shorts to more formal dresses and business casual attire.
- Sizing: Ensure you select your correct UK size. Clarks often provides size guides; it's recommended to consult one if you are unsure.
Care Instructions for White Leather:
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the pristine look of your Fawna Lily Ballet Flats.
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray before the first wear to guard against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust.
- Spot Cleaning: For tougher marks, use a specialized white leather cleaner. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and gently rub the affected area. Always test on an inconspicuous spot first.
- Drying: If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag to prevent dust and scratches. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners, or immerse them in water, as this can damage the leather.
