  • A soft, unstructured flat with a flexible leather sole, designed for durability and comfort
  • Nappa upper with leather lining
  • Leather trim and fixed leather bow
  • 5 mm of plush foam padding

We recommend ordering ½ size up from your typical US shoe size for the best fit.  

There are several fit differences from our normal Demi, including a more structured fit and an additional layer of leather across the front of the shoe, creating a more fitted feeling at first. With wear, the leather will gradually soften and mold to your foot. This style also features a decorative (non-adjustable) bow, leather lining, and a structured heel counter.

  • Narrow: A slimmer fit throughout (comparable to an A width)

Our interpretation of the CLASSIC BALLET FLAT, favored by the chicest girls we know

A woman stands against a bare concrete wall, wearing a short, loose-fitting black dress with ruffled sleeves and black heels. She poses with her hands touching her head and her legs crossed at the ankles.
A pair of brown ballet flats with bows on the toes, placed on a light surface with soft shadows.

The decorative bow and soft leather nod to The Demi's heritage, while other details—like a plush insole and multi-width sizing—make it undeniably comfortable. We could live in these shoes, truly.

Most comfortable flats!

"I have wide feet and have always wanted ballerina flats but my foot didn’t cooperate with was available. Then I found Margaux and it has solved all my problems. Not only do these flats fit to perfection on my wide feet but they are flattering and not to mention comfortable. I took them on vacation and they were the perfect shoe for walking and went amazing with all my outfits. I will be buying a second pair in a different color."

Vianey G. (5/5)

Love the Leopard

"I recently pitched a pair of the The Demi flats in leopard suede. They definitely run true to size and fit me perfectly. I prefer a somewhat rounded toe to a more pointed toe because they are simply more comfortable on my feet. I have not yet worn them as o tend to feel they are more fur fall/winter, but I do look forward to wearing them in cooler weather."

Cheryl K. (5/5)

Very comfortable and beautifully made

"These stylish flats are super comfy and I get a lot of compliments on them. They were definitely a splurge for me and my first Margaux purchase. You can tell they are made with quality in mind as well as style. I feel I will have these for many years they fit true size and go with a lot of different outfits over the summer."

Ann T. (5/5)

cute, perfect for warm weather

"these are the perfect mix of cute, elegant, casual and comfortable. I pair them with a summer midi dress, with shorts and a halter. I have a feeling they will transition beautifully to the fall as well. making them a 3 season marvel. size runs a little narrow so go wide if you have any doubts."

Sabrina S. (5/5)

I love my new shoes.

"I love my new shoes. They are absolutely stunning and the quality is impeccable. I will definitely purchase from this store again."

Ammy A. (5/5)

Love it!

"I somehow accidentally ordered a wide in my size and when it came I was super worried it would t fit. It was definitely too wide. But then I noticed it has the ability to pull the little bow tighter and it makes the shoe a bit smaller. It was perfect! It’s lightweight and adorable, and yet doesn’t feel like it is going to come apart. It’s great quality for such a simple, open weave shoe. Perfect for summer in Texas."

Jenna B. (5/5)

Beautiful but narrow

"These flats are so beautiful! The color is very nice. They feel a little tight along the width though - and I don't usually buy or wear wide size shoes but this just feels a lot tighter than I'm used to. Maybe I need to wear them in. I wish they fit great outside of the box because of the price tag but they are still nice."

Samantha R. (3/5)

Felt amazing right out of the box

"I've been investing in quality flats and have tried a lot of the brands that typically come up when doing research. When you live in NYC you find out pretty quickly when a shoe doesn't have the right support. I can honestly say these have been the most most comfortable pair of flats that I've bought, full stop. The leather feels delicious, and the insoles feel really comfortable, while also not being bulky. A beautiful, classic and elegant style. I was also shocked at how comfy they were straight out of the box without any breaking in."

Sarah W. (5/5)

Stunning

"Can’t recommend enough. I have a wider foot and a narrower heel so often it is difficult to find flats that don’t rub or are comfortable. These flats are S T U N N I N G. Perfection"

Emily F. (5/5)

The heel keeps falling off

"These shoes don't stay on my feet. I've tried pulling the drawstring tighter. . . but they construction makes it so every step the heel comes off, which is disappointing. They look good in a picture but they're not practical if you actually want to wear them in real life."

Erin M. (1/5)
