FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Rosalind ballerina features an unstructured design with a square toe, which generally offers more room than traditional narrow-toed shoes. However, individual fit can vary. If you have significantly wide feet, the standard fit might still feel snug.

How do I choose the right size if I'm between sizes?

The product information states that the shoes fit true to size. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to choose the smaller size for a more secure fit.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather and maintain their appearance. Use a leather protector spray for added resistance.

What type of socks, if any, should I wear with these?

These ballet flats are designed for a sleek look and are often worn with no-show socks or bare feet. If wearing socks, opt for thin, no-show styles to maintain the shoe's aesthetic.

How long will the elasticated heel last?

The elasticated heel is designed for durability. With proper care and normal wear, it should maintain its elasticity and function for the lifespan of the shoe.

Is the bow detail securely attached?

The delicate bow is typically attached securely. However, it is advisable to treat this detail with care to avoid snagging or pulling.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel slightly tight upon first wear.

Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. If you are between sizes, consider the recommendation to size down if the tightness is significant.

Elasticated heel feels loose or causes slipping.

Ensure the correct size is being worn. If the shoe is too large, the elastic may not hug the heel properly. If the shoe is the correct size and still slips, consider using a discreet heel grip insert.

Leather shows minor scuffs.

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth or a leather conditioner. For deeper scuffs, a black leather shoe polish can help restore the color and finish.
