Since nappa leather is porous and absorbs water easily, avoid getting them wet. Getting the shoes soaking wet can irrevocably stain the leather.

Most quality shoe repair shops will offer products to polish, protect, and refresh the leather's surface. A neutral cream polish—one without color—will also help protect the surface from scuffs and scrapes and keep the leather hydrated. If something's spilled on the leather, try using a soft cloth with a small amount of cleanser or cream on it. Rub the surface in a circular motion, then allow the shoe to dry before buffing the entire thing lightly with a dry, clean cloth.

The FIT and FEEL of a Margaux woven is UNPARALLELED

Handwoven and constructed by a single artisan, each pair of woven shoes in our collection is a testament to the power of craft. The silhouette is designed to be effortlessly beautiful, but the feel truly comes down to the quality of the leather. It's vegetable-dyed and handoiled before being carefully woven with a traditional basketweave technique. The result? A fit that softly encases the foot with beautiful breathability.

Beautiful summer flat

"I’m really happy with the Fonteyn Jane. The quality is amazing and the leather really soft on the skin. I usually wear a 43 but got the 43,5 in wide. Unfortunately they are a bit too big, so you can stay true to size. Be aware that you don’t have a lot of stability in the shoe. It’s comfortable and I would buy it again."

Julia K. (5/5)

Best shoes EVER

"I live in NYC and purchased multiple shoes from other brands only to return them due to poor quality or not being comfortable enough to run around the city in the summer- Margaux was worth every penny and I finally found a brand that still makes shoes with high quality materials that feel like butter on your feet! I purchased the 36. 5 wide and I definitely recommend wide if you have a wider foot. I am a true size 6. 5 US and typically a 37 European but since they had 36. 5 that was a much better fit! Love them and recommend them 10/10"

Kendell K. (5/5)

Shoe great just not all colors

"Absolutely love this shoe! So cute and the most comfortable shoe I’ve owned in a while. I ordered it in the brown and loved it so this was my second color the ecru. The reason I knocked it down one star is the Ecru color was a miss and a return. Online it looks cute but in person it just looks like a dirty white. Everything else is great and I recommend just not this color."

Brittnee N. (4/5)

Cutest shoes ever!

"I wanted a cooler, breathable, summer version of my Repetto ballet flats. These are sooooo comfortable. They feel like slippers, no break-in. And they are unbelievably cute in person. I just love them! Great with all my linens pants and dresses. A step dressier than just sandals. They will work here in fall. My first Margauxs!"

Gaye M. (5/5)

Perfectly perfect!

"I have difficult feet. Bunions, abused toes etc… These arrived the day before we left for a cruise as my only neutral flats, I was worried. Tried them on and they fit perfectly. Wore them everyday on the cruise with no blisters or soreness at all. Very comfortable!"

Nicole G. (5/5)

The best flats

"These are the most comfortable and high quality flats that I hear bought in a long time! There is no down time to break in and I’m obsessed with the design! They literally go with everything!"

Marija H. (5/5)

Pretty summer shoes

"I purchased the Fonteyn Jane in Ecru Woven Leather because I wander a sandal adjacent shoes to wear to work events in warmer weather. These are comfortable, stylish and airy enough from the woven structure that they hit every mark for me. One note - the leather is super soft and not terribly structured. I found a need to tighten the strap to ensure they didn’t droop down my foot. I ordered the wide because I have bunions and despite having narrow feet the wide is a better fit I’m Margaux shoes, but I probably could have gone with the regular width in these. Despite that…these are great and I can’t wait to wear them on my next work trip!"

Patricia T. (5/5)

Nice Shoe But Not For Me

"This shoe was beautifully made and nice looking but for me it made my already long narrow foot look even longer. I might try it in another color in the future."

Katie K. (5/5)

So worth it

"These shoes are surprisingly comfortable, feel well made, and look sooo good! Definitely worth the investment."

Raquel M. (5/5)

Elegant and fun, must have shoe!

"Love these yummy woven suede shoes! Super comfortable, elegant and playful shoe! My current favorite. . . and I have a lot of favorite Margaux shoes!"
