FAQs
How should I clean the silver leather?
Gently wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning or scuffs, use a leather-specific cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions.
Do these ballet flats offer arch support?
The Clarks Fawna Lily features enhanced heel padding for comfort. Like most traditional ballet flats, they offer limited built-in arch support. If you require significant arch support, you might consider adding an appropriate orthotic insert if space allows.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the resin rubber sole offers good grip, the leather upper is not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain or standing water to protect the leather. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.
What material are the linings and sock made of?
Both the linings and the sock (the part your foot rests on) are made of breathable leather, contributing to overall foot comfort and freshness.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
This specific Clarks Fawna Lily Ballet Flat (UK size 7, Silver Leather) is a standard fit. If you require a wide fit, please check for other variants in the Fawna Lily range that explicitly state 'wide fit' in their description or title.
What is UK size 7 equivalent in US or EU sizes?
As these are UK size 7, we recommend referring to the official Clarks size guide on their website or in-store for accurate conversions to US or EU sizing, as conversions can vary slightly between brands.
Are these flats durable for daily wear?
Yes, crafted from quality leather and featuring a durable resin rubber sole, these ballet flats are designed for regular, comfortable daily wear. Proper care, including cleaning and conditioning, will further enhance their longevity.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Leather shoes may stretch slightly over time with wear, but if they are too tight initially, they might not be the correct fit. Consider wearing them for short periods at first to break them in.
Leather appears dull or dry
The leather needs conditioning. Clean the surface gently and then apply a suitable leather conditioner to restore its moisture and shine. Regular conditioning helps prevent dryness and cracking.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur if moisture is trapped between the sole and certain floor types. Try walking on different surfaces. If the squeaking persists from within the shoe, ensure the interior is completely dry and consider adding a thin insole to reduce friction.
Difficulty maintaining grip on certain surfaces
While the resin rubber sole offers ideal grip, no shoe is entirely slip-proof on all surfaces. Exercise caution on wet, oily, or highly polished floors. Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris that might reduce traction.
Silver color fading or scuff marks
Scuffs on leather are common with wear. For minor scuffs, a leather polish in a matching or neutral tone might help. For fading, ensure proper cleaning and conditioning. Avoid abrasive rubbing which can damage the finish.

Care Instructions
To maintain the quality and extend the life of your leather ballet flats:
- Regular Cleaning: Gently wipe the silver leather exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust and surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a leather-specific cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a high-quality leather conditioner. This helps to keep the leather supple, prevents drying and cracking, and maintains its lustrous finish.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain protector spray specifically designed for leather. Apply it according to the product's instructions to guard against moisture and spills.
- Drying: If your flats become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage and stiffen the leather.
- Storage: When not in use, store your flats in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as these can strip the leather's finish and color.
