FAQs
Are these ballet flats true to size?
Clarks generally aims for true-to-size footwear. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend referring to the Clarks sizing guide and trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering the slip-on design.
Can I wear these flats in rainy weather?
While the resin rubber sole offers good grip, the premium leather upper is not inherently waterproof. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather. You can apply a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather to add some protection.
How do I clean the silver leather?
Gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For maintaining the silver finish and preventing damage, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner suitable for metallic or finished leathers. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
The Clarks Fawna Lily Ballet Flat features a cushioned insole for general comfort. As a ballet flat style, it offers moderate arch support designed for everyday wear. If you require significant arch support, you may consider adding a slim, supportive insole if space permits.
What type of sole do these ballet flats have?
These ballet flats feature a resin rubber sole, which is designed to provide good grip and durability for various surfaces.
Are the insoles removable?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.
Leather shoes may require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house with socks to gently stretch the material. If discomfort persists, consider using a shoe stretcher or consulting a cobbler. Ensure you selected the correct size at purchase.
Leather appears scuffed or dull.
For light scuffs, gently rub with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper marks, a matching leather polish or balm can help. To restore shine, use a leather conditioner specifically designed for premium leathers, following product instructions.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Squeaking can sometimes occur if moisture gets between the insole and outsole, or due to friction between materials. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole (if removable) to reduce friction. If the squeak is from the sole, ensure it's clean and dry.
Foot odor is present after wearing.
The breathable leather linings help, but if odor occurs, allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Use odor-absorbing inserts or shoe deodorizer sprays. Consider wearing thin, breathable socks or peds for added hygiene.

Care Instructions for Premium Leather
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the luxurious appearance of your Fawna Lily Ballet Flats.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This is especially important for silver leather to maintain its finish.
- Protection: Use a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply as directed by the product.
- Storage: Store your flats in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees or stuff with paper to help maintain their shape when not in use.
- Avoid Wet Conditions: While the resin rubber sole offers grip, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions should be avoided to protect the leather.
