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.

Good addition to my shoe wardrobe

"I enjoy this shoe! The sizing is not as consistent as my other Margaux shoes, though - I ordered my usual size, 8W, but find it's a little tight across the top of my foot. It does have an adjustable cord, which helps, but I feel that after a few hours. Otherwise they're stylish, well made, and pretty comfortable."

— Annette W. (4/5)

"These are beautiful, comfortable shoes. Margaux recommends sizing up a half size. Dont do that unless you’ve been cramming your feet into a half a size smaller shoe on the regular. These shoes actually run a little big and a little wide in my opinion (I do not have a narrow foot, in fact I probably am more on the wider side of medium.)The shoes still work but I’m actually wondering if the 6 1/2 would’ve been a better size for me. In all Margaux shoes I have previously purchased a 7."

— Tracy (4/5)

"These shoes are a dream! I’m so glad I finally pulled the trigger and purchased this pair. The quality, design, and comfort of these shoes is beyond what I expected. Worth the cost as these shoes will be in my closet and worn for years to come."

— Novella (5/5)

Favorite shoes

"I now have about 4 of these heels. I love Ann Mashburn heels which I have purchased for years- both very similar - so now I have a new brand to love. Keep designing. Love. In"

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)

Stylish show

"Love this to and a little zhuzh to any outfit. Pretty comfy too. Love the heel height"

— Ann W. (5/5)

Love them!

"Not only are they super cute and just what I’ve been looking for, they’re extremely comfortable. I also had a great in-store experience when purchasing them. I definitely recommend."

— Jacquelyn c. (5/5)

"fits slightly small but the leather is very soft and flexible so it isnt too much of an issue. im an 8. 5 and ordered a 9 so definitely size up"

— Maya (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."
