FAQs
How do I tie the bungee laces?
The elasticated laces can be tied in a knot or bow across the top of the foot or wrapped around the ankle for a more secure and styled look. Experiment to find your preferred method.
What material is the D-Mile Ballerina made from?
The shoe is constructed from supple lambskin leather and polyester mesh, featuring a flexible rubber sole.
Can I wear these for a formal event?
The D-Mile Ballerina has a sporty aesthetic that leans towards casual and smart-casual wear. While stylish, it may not be suitable for very formal occasions.
How should I clean the leather and mesh parts?
Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth. Use a slightly damp cloth for minor stains on leather and allow to air dry. Clean mesh panels gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Is the rubber sole durable?
Yes, the sole is designed to be ultra-flexible and durable for everyday wear, providing comfort and traction.
What is the benefit of the zig-zag detailing?
The zig-zag detailing is a design element that adds a modern, sporty, and unique visual appeal to the classic ballerina silhouette.
Are these true to size?
Generally, these shoes are designed to fit true to size. However, due to the unique lacing system, slight adjustments might be needed for a perfect fit. Refer to sizing charts if available.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the bungee lacing system by pulling or loosening the laces to achieve your desired comfort and security. Experiment with tying methods (across foot vs. ankle wrap).
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for lambskin leather using a soft cloth. Buff gently.
Mesh panels are dirty
Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently clean the mesh areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Squeaking sound from the sole
Ensure the sole is clean and dry. Sometimes, a small amount of talcum powder applied to the insole can help reduce squeaking.
