FAQs
What materials are the Balmain Swan Low Shoes made from?
The shoes are constructed from a combination of grey suede and calfskin. They feature a leather lining and insole, and a caramel-colored rubber sole.
What is the difference between the two pairs of laces provided?
One pair of laces is white, and the other is a grey-black combination. This allows you to customize the look of the shoes to match different outfits or preferences.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoes?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dust and dirt. For stains, a suede cleaner is recommended. It's crucial to avoid water on suede and to test any cleaning product on a small, hidden area first.
Are these shoes suitable for extensive walking or sports?
These shoes are designed for style and casual wear. While they are comfortable due to the leather lining and insole, they are not intended for athletic activities or long distances where specialized footwear might be required.
What is the sole height?
The sole height at the highest point is 2.5 cm.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in the original dust bag to protect them from damage and dust.
What is the significance of the geometric PB logo?
The raised geometric PB logo is a signature design element of Balmain, adding a distinctive branded detail to the side panels of the shoes.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush for light dirt. For tougher stains, apply a suede-specific cleaner following the product instructions. Test cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water on suede.
Leather creasing or dulling
Polish the calfskin sections with a suitable leather polish or conditioner using a soft cloth. Ensure the product is appropriate for calfskin leather.
Laces fraying or becoming dirty
Replace laces with a new pair. The shoes come with two lace options for easy substitution. Clean spare laces with mild soap and water, then air dry.
Sole showing signs of wear
Regularly clean the sole with a damp cloth. For significant wear, consider consulting a cobbler for potential sole repair or replacement.
