  • A soft, unstructured flat with a flexible leather sole, designed for durability and comfort
  • Adjustable cord bow to customize the fit, for a personalized fit
  • Handwoven leather upper
  • 5 mm of plush foam padding

We recommend ordering ½ size down from your typical US shoe size for the best fit. As an unstructured flat, The Demi should feel comfortably snug right out of the box, as the woven leather will gradually soften and mold to your foot with wear.  A secure fit from the start will help ensure the best fit over time.

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.for your best fit. 

Each upper is handwoven by artisans in India, resulting in subtle variations between pairs. 

If you're looking for a little extra security, we'd recommend taking a look at The Woven Demi Jane or Woven Fonteyn Jane.

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. 

Overall rating: 4.754004 / 5 from 1561 reviews.

Reviews

Darling and comfortable

"The Demi flats are truly a revelation. I've worn heels for so long and was convinced that I could not feel cute in flats. These shoes have changed my mind. The two-tone and the little bow are so flattering and stylish. And the wonderfully squishy sole and soft leather make these a dream to walk in. I hope that Margaux releases other two-tone pains, such as black with ballet pink and black with pale blue (or re-releases the black and white, which sadly I missed)."

— Hilary S. (5/5)

Perfection

"These are the most perfect looking classic ballet flat. The sole is slim but lightly padded on the inside for comfort. The leather is super soft but holds its shape nicely. Ballet flats have been a staple of my wardrobe for over 30 years and these are by new favorite."

— Tanya C. (5/5)

Don’t buy them

"Very dissatisfied. These shoes are far too expensive to be this uncomfortable. After wearing them for a week and getting painful blisters, I contacted customer service. They told me to keep wearing them at home with socks to break them in. I followed their advice for five days, and it was the worst decision—I ended up with even worse blisters. Completely unacceptable for shoes at this price."

— Johanna S. (1/5)

Excellent flats

"I love these two tone ballet flats. I love this color way and have been looking at Chanel flats for awhile but they don’t fit my feet well and they are overpriced. I ordered these and they fit well they are super soft. I do have to go up a half size in Margaux shoes."

— Maria B. (5/5)

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)

Style and Substance

"These lovely woven flats are perfect for summer and the rich saddle leather will transition beautifully into early autumn. Equally attractive with pants, shorts or skirts, they are the most comfortable ballerinas I’ve ever worn."

— Susan S. (5/5)

Absolutely the best and most

"Absolutely the best and most comfy ballet flats I own. This is coming from someone that has ballet flats from the most luxurious brands and finding Margaux has made me feel like I made the greatest discovery."

— Christine E. (5/5)
