FAQs
Are these ballet flats suitable for rainy weather?
No, the Clarks Fawna Lily Ballet Flats are made from genuine leather and are not water resistant. We recommend avoiding wear in wet conditions to maintain their quality and appearance.
How should I clean my black leather ballet flats?
For routine cleaning, wipe them with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning and conditioning, use a leather-specific cleaner and conditioner, following the product instructions. Always allow them to air dry naturally.
Can I wear these shoes for formal events?
While the classic black leather offers a sophisticated look, these ballet flats are primarily designed for casual and smart-casual wear. For formal events, you might prefer a shoe with a more elevated or dressy design.
Will the leather stretch over time?
Yes, genuine leather has a natural tendency to stretch and mold to the shape of your foot with regular wear, which contributes to a more personalized and comfortable fit.
What type of socks should I wear with these ballet flats?
For the classic ballet flat look, many prefer to wear these shoes barefoot or with 'no-show' socks that are designed to remain hidden within the shoe.
How do I prevent scuffs on the leather?
Being mindful of your surroundings and avoiding abrasive surfaces can help. Regular conditioning of the leather can also make it more resilient to minor marks. For protection, you can consider applying a leather protector spray.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry
Apply a good quality leather conditioner to moisturize and restore its luster. Buff gently with a soft cloth.
Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather
For light scuffs, try rubbing gently with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, a specialized leather repair cream or polish in the appropriate color may be needed.
Unpleasant odor developing inside the shoes
Allow the shoes to air out regularly. You can use shoe deodorizers, baking soda sprinkled inside overnight (then vacuumed out), or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable initially
Genuine leather will mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially or consider wearing thin socks to help with the breaking-in process. Avoid forcing them if they are severely uncomfortable.

Setup: Simply slip on your Fawna Lily Ballet Flats for immediate comfort. While genuine leather will adapt to your foot over time, no extensive break-in period is typically required. Compatibility: These ballet flats are designed to be highly compatible with a broad spectrum of casual attire. They pair beautifully with jeans, chinos, skirts, casual dresses, and shorts, making them a versatile cornerstone for your wardrobe. Their classic black leather finish allows them to transition smoothly from daytime activities to relaxed evening outings. Care: To ensure the longevity and pristine condition of your leather flats: 1. Cleaning: Gently wipe off any surface dirt or dust with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. 2. Deep Cleaning & Conditioning: For more thorough cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions carefully. This helps to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. 3. Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather. 4. Water Exposure: As these flats are not water resistant, avoid wearing them in rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape while drying. 5. Storage: Store your Fawna Lily flats in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and absorb moisture when not in use.
