FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Freckle Ice Ballet Flats are designed with a standard width. While the leather is supple and may stretch slightly, they might not be ideal for individuals with significantly wide feet.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the TPR outsole offers some grip, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather.
How do I maintain the white color?
Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and occasional use of a white leather polish will help keep them looking fresh. Store them away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing.
What is the sole made of?
The outsole is made from TPR (thermoplastic rubber), which is known for its flexibility and grippy properties.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
These are ballet flats, which typically offer minimal built-in arch support. They feature a comfortable leather sock liner, but individuals requiring significant arch support may need to add their own insoles.
What is the return policy if the size is incorrect?
Please refer to the retailer's specific return policy for information on exchanges and returns due to incorrect sizing.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after first wear
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness persists.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to moisture or friction. Try sprinkling a bit of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole, or check if the outsole is rubbing against the upper.
White leather showing scuffs
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft, dry cloth. For more noticeable marks, use a white shoe cream or polish specifically designed for leather.
