Our interpretation of the CLASSIC BALLET FLAT, favored by the chicest girls we know

Person wearing a white outfit with black shoes sitting on a concrete surface.

The working cord bow and soft leather nod to The Demi's heritage, while other details—like a plush insole and multi-width sizing—make it undeniably comfortable. We could live in these shoes, truly.

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)

This is my second purchase

"This is my second purchase of this shoe…different colors! So comfortable on NYC streets or country lanes. I have worn both pair all summer! So nice to find a narrow size! And extra nice to get so many compliments on my shoes. No more heels for me as I’m approaching the “use by” date but these are so cute!"

— Kathleen C. (5/5)

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)

So comfy!!

"I had to try on several different styles and sizes to find my perfect fit but I finally found my Margaux shoe! These are so insanely comfy - usually this style of shoe and structure would rub at the heel or edges but these have a fabric top line that prevents that. They're very classy and subtle, absolutely love!"

— Bridgett R. (5/5)

Cute ballet flat

"I do really like the shoe. It is not breathable at all. That’s the major downside. But it’s very comfortable. I wear it all day at work on my feet. When I do sit down I have a tendency to kick these off, not because they’re uncomfortable, but because my feet need to breathe/air out. It matches the espresso color of a Louis Vuitton canvas pattern really beautifully."

— Audry F. (5/5)

Classic and comfortable

"After a few days of breaking these flats in, they are one of my most comfortable shoes to wear. Easily dressed up or down. A pair that gets me a lot of compliments. The sole is a bit slippery so I do plan on taking them to a cobbler though. I find them to run true to size and overall as very happy with my demi flats."

— Ashley W. (5/5)

Fantastic shoes

"By far the prettiest woven ballet flats I've come across. They are well made and easy to wear. What makes them really exceptional is that you can adjust them using the bow strings if you need to tighten it loosen the width. Really smart shoe."

— Erin 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)
