FAQs

What material is the D-Mile-Metallic ballet flat made of?

The upper is made of 100% polyester with a metallic and crackled finish. The sole is 100% rubber, and the lining is 100% textile.

How do I adjust the bungee laces?

The elasticated bungee laces can be tied at the front of the shoe or wrapped around the ankle for a custom fit and style. Simply thread them through the designated eyelets and tie securely.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The shoes feature a round toe and adjustable bungee laces, which can offer some flexibility. However, they are designed with a standard fit, and individuals with very wide feet may find them snug. Trying them on is recommended if possible.

How should I clean the metallic finish?

Clean the metallic finish gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the coating. For minor scuffs, a specialized silver polish may be used with caution.

What is the heel height or sole height?

The sole height at its highest point is approximately 1.5 cm.

Can the bungee laces be replaced?

Yes, the bungee laces can be replaced if they become worn or damaged. You can purchase similar elasticated laces and thread them through the shoe's eyelets.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The shoes are not explicitly stated as waterproof. While the rubber sole offers some protection, the polyester upper and textile lining are not designed for significant water exposure.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel loose or keep slipping

Ensure the bungee laces are tied securely. If they continue to loosen, consider re-tying them with a double knot or exploring alternative lacing techniques for a tighter hold.

Metallic finish appears dull or scuffed

Gently buff the affected area with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For minor scuffs, a small amount of silver polish designed for metallic finishes might be used sparingly, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Foot discomfort after short wear

Double-check the lace adjustment for a proper fit. Ensure the ankle wrap, if used, is not too tight. If discomfort persists, consider the possibility of the shoe not being the right fit for your foot shape.

Zig-zag stitching appears to be unraveling

Carefully trim any loose threads with small, sharp scissors. If the stitching is significantly damaged, professional repair might be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The D-Mile-Metallic ballet flats are designed as women's footwear. They pair well with a variety of outfits, including trousers, jeans, skirts, and dresses. Their style is adaptable to casual, smart-casual, and semi-formal settings.

Care: To maintain the appearance and integrity of your flats:

  • Upper Material: The upper is primarily 100% polyester with metallic finishes. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the metallic coating and the fabric.
  • Sole: The 100% rubber sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing.
  • Lining: The 100% textile lining can be spot-cleaned with mild soap and water if necessary. Allow to air dry completely.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag to protect the metallic finish from scratches. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
