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.

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."

"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.
