FAQs
What material is the Chelsea Ballet Flat made of?
The upper is made of houndstooth fabric, accented with iridescent crystals and an antiqued brass eagle-head trim.
How do I clean the fabric upper?
Gently wipe the fabric upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners. For the trim and crystals, use a soft, dry cloth.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The description indicates a slip-on styling with a ruched heel, which generally provides a comfortable fit. However, specific width accommodations are not detailed. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consider the standard fit.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
Due to the fabric construction, it is not recommended to wear these flats in wet or rainy conditions as it could damage the material and embellishments.
What does the 'antiqued brass oval trim with eagle head' refer to?
This is a decorative element on the shoe, featuring an oval shape with an eagle's head design, made from brass with an antiqued finish for a vintage look.
How can I ensure a comfortable fit, especially around the heel?
The shoe features a ruched heel designed for comfort and a snug fit, intended to reduce friction. Wearing them with thin socks initially can help break them in.
What occasions are these flats best suited for?
They are versatile and suitable for day-to-night wear, from casual outings and business-casual settings to more dressed-up events, thanks to their stylish embellishments.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight upon first wear.
Wear them around the house with thin socks for a short period to allow the fabric to gently stretch and mold to your foot. The ruched heel is designed to offer a snug fit that will loosen slightly with wear.
Crystals appear loose or dull.
If a crystal appears loose, do not attempt to re-glue it yourself unless you have experience. Consult a professional shoe repair service. If they appear dull, gently wipe them with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
Fabric appears stained.
Immediately blot any spills with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water, testing on a small, hidden area first. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Antiqued brass trim loses its luster.
The antiqued finish is intentional. If you prefer a brighter look, you can try gently polishing a small, inconspicuous area with a brass polish, but be aware this may alter the intended aesthetic.
