FAQs

How do I adjust the crossover laces for a custom fit?

On your first wear, untie the existing knot, slide the laces through the metal eyelets to loosen them, place the shoe on your foot, and then re-tie the laces snugly to your preferred tightness. Ensure they are secure but not cutting off circulation.

What is Oleatex material?

Oleatex is a material blend, in this case, primarily Polyurethane, Polyester, and Cotton, designed to offer a distinctive finish. The crinkle texture is a key aesthetic feature of this material.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The adjustable crossover laces allow for some flexibility in fit. However, the shoe has a rounded square toe which provides a moderate width. If you have very wide feet, it's recommended to try them on or consult sizing charts carefully.

How do I clean the crinkle Oleatex finish?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For more persistent marks, use a very mild soap diluted in water, applying gently. Always test any cleaning method on an inconspicuous area first.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

While the Oleatex material offers some resistance, they are not designed for heavy rain. The leather sole can be susceptible to water damage. It's best to avoid wearing them in prolonged wet conditions.

What is the sole made of?

The sole of the Ganni Sue Ballerina Box Oleatex is made of 100% Calf leather.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Yes, the product description indicates that the shoes run true to size. However, adjusting the laces on the first wear is recommended for a personalized fit.

Troubleshooting

Laces are difficult to adjust

Gently pull the laces through the eyelets to loosen or tighten. If wax laces become stiff, a very small amount of leather conditioner applied sparingly to the lace may help with glide.

Crinkle texture appears dull or scuffed

Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. For minor scuffs on the Oleatex material, a specialized Oleatex cleaner or a very mild soap solution may be carefully tested in an inconspicuous area.

Shoes feel slightly tight on first wear

This is normal for leather and Oleatex. Loosen the crossover laces significantly and wear them around the house for a short period to allow them to mold to your foot. Avoid over-stretching.

Leather sole shows wear quickly

Consider applying a protective sole spray or having protective rubber soles added by a professional cobbler, especially if you anticipate heavy use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique and stylish crinkle texture.
  • Adjustable laces for a personalized fit.
  • Easy slip-on design for convenience.
  • Modern rounded square toe shape.
  • Durable leather sole.

Cons

  • Crinkle texture may require specific cleaning to maintain appearance.
  • Leather sole may show wear with extensive use.
  • Crossover laces, while adjustable, might be a concern for those seeking a truly laceless shoe.
  • Limited to adult female sizing and style.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To achieve the best fit, loosen the crossover wax laces on the initial wear. Adjust them to your comfort and tie them securely. The slip-in style means no complex setup is required beyond this initial adjustment.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adult female feet and are generally true to size. They pair well with a wide range of casual and semi-formal attire.

Care:

  • The upper is composed of 64% Polyurethane, 23% Polyester, and 13% Cotton. Clean with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the Oleatex finish.
  • The sole is 100% Calf leather. For prolonged wear and to maintain the sole's condition, consider having them professionally resoled or protected by a cobbler if significant wear occurs.
  • Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a dust bag to protect the crinkle texture from scuffs.
