FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
These are standard-width loafers. While the woven upper offers some flexibility, they may not be ideal for individuals with significantly wide feet.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the materials are vegan, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their material and structure.
How do I clean the woven upper?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, a mild soap diluted in water can be carefully applied with a cloth, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
What is the best way to store these flats?
Store them in a cool, dry place. Keeping them in a shoe bag or their original box can help protect the woven material from dust and prevent creasing.
Do these shoes offer much support?
These are casual ballet flats and primarily focus on comfort and ease of wear. They provide basic cushioning but do not offer significant arch or ankle support. For extended walking or standing, consider adding insoles.
Are they true to size?
Sizing can vary slightly. Based on general feedback for this style, they are often considered true to size. However, if you are between sizes, it might be worth considering the larger size due to the slip-on nature.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel a bit stiff initially.
Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in. The vegan materials will soften with gentle use.
Difficulty slipping feet in/out.
Ensure your socks (if worn) are thin. If the shoe is new, it may take a few wears to loosen up. A shoehorn can assist.
Dirt marks on the woven upper.
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the affected area. For stubborn marks, a very mild soap solution can be tested on an inconspicuous spot first.
Slight odor after wear.
Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
