We recommend ordering based on your typical US shoe size. The Ada is designed for a comfortably snug fit through the toe box and will gently soften and mold to your foot with wear. If you prefer a slightly roomier fit through the toe box, we recommend sizing up in width.

Fit tip: The adjustable bow isn't just a design detail—it helps tailor the fit to your foot. If you're noticing a little heel slippage or would simply like a more secure fit, gently tighten the bow. Watch this video to learn how to adjust the bow properly..

"These are gorgeous, comfortable flats with a perfect small heel to wear to work and through the evening."

Emily S.

The effortless personification of CLASSIC STYLE with a MODERN TWIST

For our latest iteration on a classic ballet flat, we used a chic low heel and squared-off toe to give lift and attitude to a new everyday favorite. Much like The Demi and The Pointe, The Ada is intended to be dressed up or down. However you style it, all-day wear is recommended. With a sacchetto construction, it fits, and feels, like a luxurious leather glove.

My new go to ballet shoes!!

"I usually shy away from ballet shoes because I feel I have a slight bunion and don’t feel they have enough support . However this ballet shoe has the perfect small heel , dressy but also convenient to run errands. I wear a lot of neutrals so was on the hunt for a dark cherry red patent and I feel I have manifested that shoe!! I was nervous about the fit . I listen to the reviews , does run small so I sized up half size and pick the wide width for my slight bunions. When I first tried I was afraid it was too wide but then it molds to your feet and it’s actually perfect!! Comfortable without losing the shoes"

— Christelle N. (5/5)

Customer Service is Amazing

"I have ordered three different pairs to get the exact fit I needed. Each time, the process has been simple and effortless. I love that they carry Narrow width, I am on the border between the two. I feel like these shoes run a little wide so I switched to the Narrow and they are perfect. I will definitely be buying these shoes again"

— Kim A. (5/5)

So buttery soft

"A colleague of mine had these on one day, and I stopped her in the hallway and asked where she got them. I was obsessed. I’m very tall, but I wanted a polished work shoe and this was perfect. I will say that I had to order three different sizes before I finally found the size that fit me. I’m usually a 9US and ordered a 40 originally, then a 40. 5, and then finally landed on 40. 5 wide. But I couldn’t be happier with the purchase."

— Sarah L. (5/5)

Very chic and comfortable

"Incredibly comfortable and chic looking shoes. I am able to wear them for work or a casual night out, so very versatile. The material is very soft. My only note is that they looked a bit worn in the toe box area after only 3 or 4 wears. Not sure if it’s a function of the material or shoe design. Despite this I would buy again / highly recommend."

— Kimberly M. (4/5)

Very stylish for work

"Love these shoes. They are true to size regarding length but the wide width is still a bit narrow. Will need to have them stretched a bit. For ladies who who need larger sized shoes and willing to pay the price, you won't regret your purchase."

— Patricia G. (5/5)

Perfect "flat"

"I love the short heel. True flats are often uncomfortable, but this little heel gives just enough lift and support that I can walk in these shoes all day. Very happy with this purchase!"

— Meredith W. (5/5)

Love this shoe!

"Very comfortable. High Quality. Looks fantastic. I bought a size 40. 5 - I normally wear a US size 9. 5. They fit great! Wish this was offered in a navy suede too - if so I would buy a 2nd pair."

— Pamela C. (5/5)

Cute but didn’t fit my feet

"I tried three sizes of this one but even the wide was too narrow in the front. I tried a different style and that one fit fine!"

— Karen H. (3/5)

Ada Cognac

"My first time trying your shoes. Absolutely love them! The back/heel is soft like a ballet shoe, which I was not used to. It felt strange, but I adjusted after wearing them once or twice. They look and feel beautiful. There wasn’t a “break-in” period. Well done!"

— Nancy I. (5/5)

Lovely suede ballet pump

"These are beautifully made, comfortable and timeless. The biscotti suede is my third pair of Ada ballet pumps. They are true to size (I am a consistent size 10 and the 41 is perfect). Highly recommend."

— Rebecca P. (5/5)
