Ballerina Flats Special - YELLOW (Pre-Order)

Charming, comfortable, light, breathable and soft Ursanina spring-summer ballerina flats are perfect for the active urban woman with sensitive feet. They are most comfortably worn without socks. What makes them special is their sole, made of 100% wool felt. Thanks to wool's fantastic natural characteristics, your feet will feel extremely comfortable during all seasons. Acting as a natural insulator, wool keeps your feet warm in winter and prevents them from overheating and sweating in summer. This incredible material is breathable, it radiates excessive heat, absorbs moisture, and dries up quickly. No more smelly feet!

The upper part is made of cotton or microfibre (depending on the model) and has no stiff parts, providing the softest blister-free feel you could possibly want.

The sole is completely flexible and offers healthy natural barefoot-like walking. The heel is slightly raised with an additional 5 mm layer of felt. The bottom part of the sole is layered with non-slip natural rubber.

Weighing only at about 150g a pair, they make an ideal traveling shoe. Aside from being extremely lightweight, they take up no more space than a folded Cosmopolitan and can be easily packed into a handbag or a suitcase.

STRETCHING
After a few days of use, Ursanina ballerina flats stretch by up to half a size. Please note the cotton models stretch a bit more than the microfiber ones. They will most likely feel a bit tight on the first try. In this case, we advise you to wear your ballerinas around the apartment for a few days to stretch them. You can speed up the process by lightly spraying the front of the shoe with water and tightly stuffing them with soft plastic bags. Leave for a day or two and try them on again. If they still seem too tight, you probably need a larger number.

ANKLE STRAP
If you like an even more reliable and comfortable shoe, we can also add a leather ankle strap. In this case, please measure your leg circumference just above your ankle and inform us of the measurement in centimetres.
