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: 4.7596016 / 5 from 1406 reviews.

Reviews

Love it!

"I somehow accidentally ordered a wide in my size and when it came I was super worried it would t fit. It was definitely too wide. But then I noticed it has the ability to pull the little bow tighter and it makes the shoe a bit smaller. It was perfect! It’s lightweight and adorable, and yet doesn’t feel like it is going to come apart. It’s great quality for such a simple, open weave shoe. Perfect for summer in Texas."

Jenna B. (5/5)

Beautiful but narrow

"These flats are so beautiful! The color is very nice. They feel a little tight along the width though - and I don't usually buy or wear wide size shoes but this just feels a lot tighter than I'm used to. Maybe I need to wear them in. I wish they fit great outside of the box because of the price tag but they are still nice."

Samantha R. (3/5)

The heel keeps falling off

"These shoes don't stay on my feet. I've tried pulling the drawstring tighter. . . but they construction makes it so every step the heel comes off, which is disappointing. They look good in a picture but they're not practical if you actually want to wear them in real life."

Erin M. (1/5)

Who needs Chanel!!

"Theses are beyond adorable, incredibly comfortable and a I bought 3 pairs for the price of one pair of Chanel flats which let’s face it aren’t that comfortable!! I bought these at the store in SF and the staff was very attentive and kind"

Lindsay P. (5/5)

"Arrived damaged—I was so excited to receive these shoes & planned to wear them on my trip to La Jolla over July 4. As soon as they arrived I opened the box & tried them on. The right shoe fit perfectly—like a glove. However, when I put on the left shoe, I immediately felt a sharp, pointed object pressing into my heel through the sole. I initially thought I could somehow push it down or work around the discomfort, but every step felt like I was stepping on a nail. It made the shoe completely unwearable. I am very disappointed, especially since this brand has such a great reputation for quality and comfort. Unfortunately, I received a completely defective left shoe, so I haven’t and will not be able to wear this otherwise adorable pair of shoes. I want to exchange them for a new pair that is free of defects because I truly love the style & would still like the opportunity to wear them. Hoping that customer service will make this right & send the replacement pair to arrive before July 4."

Katie (1/5)

These are the most comfortable

"These are the most comfortable flats, I need in every color! I have been wearing Margaux for many years and have never been disappointed in the quality or fit."

Season B. (5/5)

Beautiful Shoe but

"Beautiful shoe!! Fit perfectly in my usual size…I just prefer a softer leather. I have the phoebe flats in black nappa and the leather on those is perfect!"

Kelsey R. (4/5)

I love these shoes! they

"I love these shoes! they are so comfortable- i've worn them all day to both the office and on weekends. They will be the first itme packed on a trip this summer to London and Paris. Your customer experience is a home run from start to finish. the first pair I ordered was too big, and the next size down was not available so I tried these. the exhange process was super easy. I have already ordered 2 more pairs and can't wait until they arrive!"

Lizbeth R. (5/5)

Cute but not much support

"These are totally darling and the raffia is very popular. The sole of the foot is sturdy like all other Margaux shoes, however the complete raffia will stretch and not position your foot. I kept the shoe because it is so attractive but will probably only last the season."

Kathryn H. (4/5)

Love them!

"This is the first pair of ballet flats I was actually able to walk hours across the city in! I find them to run true to size and love how I can tighten the toe with the adjustable bows. My only complaint is the back of the shoe did dig into my foot after a few hours of wear, but maybe that’s just the break in period."
