FAQs
What materials are these flats made from?
The flats are made from a technical fabrication blend, leather, and feature satin panelling. The sole is a combination of leather and injected rubber.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Proxima Low Ballerina Flats feature a round toe, which generally offers more room than a pointed toe. However, fit can vary, and they may not be ideal for significantly wide feet without a break-in period.
How do I clean the satin panels?
Gently dab the satin panels with a slightly damp cloth and a very mild soap solution. Avoid vigorous rubbing and allow to air dry away from direct heat.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the injected rubber sole offers some protection, the satin panelling is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
What is the intended use for these flats?
These flats are designed for polished everyday wear, suitable for office environments, smart casual occasions, and general daily activities where a sophisticated look is desired.
Do they have arch support?
The flats feature a leather sole for comfort and support, but they are not specifically designed with enhanced arch support features. For those needing significant arch support, insoles might be considered.
Troubleshooting
Satin appears dulled or dirty
Gently spot clean with a damp cloth and a tiny amount of mild soap. Pat dry with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid over-wetting the satin.
Leather sole feels stiff
Allow the shoes to break in naturally. You can use a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear to help soften the leather over time.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
The injected rubber sole is designed for grip, but if you experience slipping, consider having a cobbler add a thin protective sole layer.
Shoes feel tight after wear
Leather can stretch slightly. Wear them for short periods initially, and they should adapt to your foot shape. Avoid forcing them if they are initially too small.
