FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
While they feature Contour+ comfort technology, they are designed as casual ballet flats and are best suited for daily office use and moderate walking rather than long-distance trekking.
What is the exact heel height?
The heel height is approximately 1 cm, providing a near-flat, stable base.
Can I use an insert or orthotic with these?
These shoes are designed with a specific comfort footbed. Adding an extra insert may affect the fit and internal volume of the shoe.
How do I maintain the leather finish?
Keep the leather hydrated with a leather-specific conditioner and use a soft, damp cloth for regular light cleaning.
Is the material water-resistant?
The shoes are made of leather, which is generally not waterproof. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent water staining.
Do these pumps run true to size?
Yes, these are designed to standard adult sizing, though leather can stretch slightly over time to accommodate the unique shape of your foot.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels slightly stiff during first use
Wear them indoors for short intervals to allow the leather to naturally mold to your foot shape.
Minor scuffs on the leather surface
Use a matching black leather cream or polish to gently buff out minor abrasions.
Shoe feels too snug
Ensure you are wearing thin hosiery or no-show socks appropriate for ballet flats; avoid thick socks that may compress the fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pumps are ready for wear right out of the box. Because they are constructed from genuine leather, it is important to treat them with a suitable leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. To clean, wipe the surface gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. Ensure you store them in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree or tissue paper stuffing to maintain the shoe's shape when not in use.
