Reviews

The most comfortable flats ever!

"I have tried many many pairs of flats over the years, and these, hands down, are the most comfortable ones I’ve ever worn. The leather is buttery soft, the cute bow tie is deceptive because while it’s cute, it also helps adjust the fit, and the flats are cushioned beautifully. I have a wide toe box but narrow ankles, and the wide version of these flats work perfectly for me. In fact, my only complaint is that they don’t come in enough colors! Can I lobby for a navy blue version? :)"

— May L. (5/5)

Beautifully Made and Comfortable!

"These shoes are gorgeous. They’re beautifully-made and all the details are just perfect. They were comfortable right out of the box and I was able to wear them for four straight hours with lots of walking. It took me two tries to get the perfect size and the customer service is as wonderful as the shoes!"

— Ann P. (5/5)

Demi

"The shoes are comfortable, timeless, and well made. I ordered my usual size but in wide. (I don't usually wear wide shoes. ) They fit perfectly. It's hard to find leather soled shoes that aren't over $1,000. I'm hoping to wear these for years."

— Eileen M. (5/5)

Get them

"I overthink every shoe purchase if it's not sneakers because I hate uncomfortable shoes that require a break in etc and you don't need to overthihnk these. Get them. They are incredibly comfortable, beatuiful buttery leather, the adjustable tie is productive and adorable. I just am obsessed and really would die if they did a butter color."

— Nicole M. (5/5)

Beautiful and Worth the Price

"This is my first pair of ballet flats, and I absolutely love them! When I first received them, they did rub against the back of my heels a little, but I didn’t think it was a big issue. Not every pair of shoes fits your feet perfectly right away, and sometimes they just need a little time to break in. After wearing them a few times, they’ve broken in really nicely and are now very comfortable. The soles are also super soft and comfortable to walk in. They go with almost everything in my wardrobe, which makes them so easy to style. They’re super cute, beautiful, and versatile. I’m really happy with this purchase and definitely think they’re worth the price!"

— Kailin Y. (5/5)

Most comfortable flat I ever owned.

"Due to having narrow feet, I have so much trouble finding a comfortable ballet flat that fits properly. All other flats I’ve tried have zero support and flop off of my heel. This shoe has enough cushioning and support and never slips off of my heel. I have walked on many different surfaces and live in a city environment. They are the best shoes I’ve ever owned—-seriously. I am buying another pair!"

— Erica W. (5/5)

Obsessed

"I’m so glad this style and colorway were still available. I always have several Margaux styles on my wish list and this one finally made it to the top. I would by one of everything, if I had more pairs of feet and it was financially feasible."

— Jhari D. (5/5)

Absolutely Love!

"Just received my first pair of the demi - and they have ruined all other ballet flats for me! I wore them all day right out of the box, no issues - and walked at least 5 miles in them. Fit like a glove! Beautiful color and leather."

— Kaitlyn B. (5/5)

My favorite ballet flats

"I love these shoes so much! They are incredibly comfortable right out of the box - no breaking in necessary. The color is gorgeous and goes with everything. A beautiful suede shoe for fall."

— Heidi B. (5/5)

Comfy flats

"They are nice and lightweight. I like the color. They are not expensive feeling to the touch- not sure it’s leather -but a great extra pair of ballet flats."

— Ruth M. (5/5)
