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..

Routinely cleaning patent leather will help preserve its quality, maintain its shiny appearance, and keep it free from scuffs and scrapes. To clean your shoes, wipe off any dust or dirt with a clean microfiber cloth. Then dampen the microfiber cloth with a little bit of water to gently wipe down the leather. For added shine and to buff out any markings, gently apply leather cleaner specifically formulated for patent leather.

"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.

Very Comfortable Once you find Your Fit!

"I really wanted this shoe. It’s a perfect stying of classic ballet flat with the modern twist of the square toe and a little bit of a heel. Unfortunately, the color I wanted is sold out. At the suggestion of customer service I tried variations of sizing and made use of the functional bow on the shoe, but ultimately, the leather shoe did not work for me. The same shoe in suede was when the magic happened. The Margaux in suede in the 8W was the perfect fit. Although I do wish the color were lighter, I am happy with the fit and the look of the shoe. Hopefully, Margaux will add more colors to the suede line. Most importantly, the company was great with the back and forth of returns. I hope they open stores in my area as I would love to shop the line."

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."

Perfect Shoe

"I have been looking for a shoe for my son’s wedding in NYC this November. I labored over the price but tried SO MANY other brands that just didn’t cut the mustard. So happy with my Margaux purchase!"

— Susan S. (5/5)

"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"

— Beverly H. (5/5)

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)
