FAQs
What materials are the Naturalizer HavanaBow Ballet Flats made from?
The upper and sock are made of leather. The lining is synthetic, and the sole is TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber). Key components like the insole, toe box, and heel counter are crafted from partially recycled materials.
How do I clean and maintain the silver leather?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. Use a leather conditioner or a silver shoe polish for minor scuffs. Avoid excessive water and harsh cleaning agents.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
This specific listing is for a standard fit. While Contour+ technology offers comfort, the design features a pointed toe. Some sibling products may offer wide fit options, so check for those if needed.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 1/2 inch (1.5 cm).
What does 'Contour+ comfort technology' mean?
This technology is designed to provide a premium fit and an all-day comfort experience by contouring to the shape of the foot and offering enhanced support.
Are these shoes suitable for professional work environments?
Yes, their elegant design and comfortable wear make them suitable for many professional settings, especially where a polished look is desired without sacrificing comfort.
What is the sustainability aspect of these shoes?
The leather upper is sourced from responsibly managed tanneries, and the shoe boxes are made from 80% recycled paper with soy-based ink. Additionally, linings and structural components utilize recycled materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Leather will naturally stretch slightly with wear. Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in. Consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness persists and is uncomfortable.
Scuff marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, try using a leather conditioner or a matching silver shoe polish. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
The TPR sole offers some grip, but new shoes can sometimes be slippery. Gently scuff the bottom of the soles on a rough surface or consider adding non-slip sole grips.
Discomfort from the pointed toe
If the pointed toe causes pinching, ensure you have the correct size. If the issue persists, these flats may not be the best fit for your foot shape. Examine if the shoe is too narrow or too short.
