FAQs
Are these ballet flats true to size?
Clarks generally strives for consistent sizing. This particular variant is a UK Size 6. We recommend referring to Clarks' official size guide if you are unsure or comparing with other Clarks shoes you own.
How do I clean the white leather?
For light dirt, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized white leather cleaner. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and follow product instructions carefully.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
No, these ballet flats are specifically noted as 'Not water resistant'. We strongly advise against wearing them in rainy or wet conditions to protect the leather and maintain the shoe's appearance and integrity.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
Ballet flats typically offer minimal arch support compared to athletic shoes or those designed for orthopedic support. While Clarks prioritizes comfort, if you require significant arch support, you may consider adding a thin, supportive insole compatible with the shoe's design.
What occasions are these ballet flats suitable for?
These flats are perfect for a variety of casual to smart-casual occasions, including daily wear, office environments, brunches, light social events, and travel where comfort and style are desired. Their classic design makes them highly adaptable.
Is the leather durable?
The Clarks Fawna Lily Ballet Flat is crafted from premium leather, which is known for its durability and ability to mold to your foot over time. With proper care and maintenance, including cleaning and conditioning, these shoes are designed for lasting wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable initially.
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house. If discomfort persists, consider using a shoe stretcher or taking them to a professional for stretching. Ensure you have the correct size for your feet.
White leather shows scuffs or minor marks.
For light scuffs, a white leather cleaner or a specialized white shoe polish can often restore the appearance. Gently rub the affected area with a soft cloth and the appropriate product. For deeper marks, professional shoe repair may be needed.
Shoes develop an odor.
Allow shoes to air out between wears. You can use shoe deodorizers, baking soda sprinkled inside overnight (then vacuumed out), or cedar shoe inserts to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.
Leather appears dry or cracked.
Regularly apply a good quality leather conditioner to moisturize and protect the leather. This helps prevent drying and cracking, especially if the shoes are worn frequently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Fit: When first wearing your Fawna Lily Ballet Flats, ensure a snug but comfortable fit. Leather shoes often soften and adapt slightly with wear. Walk around indoors for a short period to allow the leather to begin conforming to your foot shape.
Compatibility: These ballet flats are incredibly versatile. They pair well with a wide range of outfits, from casual jeans and skirts to more formal dresses and business casual attire. Their white leather finish makes them a bright accent for spring and summer wardrobes, but they can also add a crisp touch to darker autumn ensembles.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: To clean the white leather, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized white leather cleaner according to the product's instructions. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: To keep the leather supple and prevent cracking, apply a leather conditioner periodically. This helps moisturize the material.
- Protection: As these flats are not water resistant, avoid wearing them in rain, puddles, or excessively damp environments. Consider using a leather protector spray designed for white leather to help repel stains, but remember this will not make them waterproof.
- Storage: Store your ballet flats in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which can trap humidity.
