The classic ballet flat, with a bridal-inspired twist

A smiling woman in a strapless white dress and birdcage veil holds white sandals outdoors near a fountain and historic building on a sunny day.
A person wearing pale gray ballet flats with small bows stands on a light-colored stone ledge in soft, natural light.

The leather bow and soft feel of this signature style 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.

    I most value style and comfort in shoes, and it’s really challenging to find a pair that meets this criteria. Margaux checks those boxes every single dang time.

The Demi is an unstructured shoe with an adjustable cord for a customizable fit. If you are between sizes or widths, we recommend taking the smaller size.

Due to the handwoven construction and open weave, the Woven Demi has a more relaxed, looser fit than the regular Demi. If you’re between sizes, we recommend that you take the smaller size in the woven version.

Medium width is considered standard, so if you generally find standard widths comfortable in other shoes, we suggest taking a Medium. However, if you find that other shoes often pinch or feel too tight around the ball of your foot, the Wide is a fantastic option to try. It is made on a combination last, with the toe box being the only area that is wider. (It's also a great option to try if you have bunions.) The Narrow will be more narrow throughout the entirety of the shoes; it's a good option if you find your foot frequently slips or feels insecure in a standard width.

Additionally, the working bow on your Demis can be tightened to customize the width around your foot as needed.

Our nappa Demis are made from a soft, Italian nappa and flexible leather soles. Nappa leather is permeable, so avoid exposure to water and rain. To maintain the sheen and finish over time, you can use a quality leather lotion. Our suede Demis are made from Italian suede, a surprisingly durable material. Marks and scuffs to the suede can be gently removed using a suede brush and cleaning spray, like those provided in our suede care kit. Regular treatment with a protectant spray can also help prevent signs of future wear.

The Demi is an unstructured style and will have a softer, less structured, and more flexible feel than our other flats, like The Pointe.

Bespoke pairs ordered through the atelier are handmade to order at our factory in Spain and ship within 10-12 weeks of order–right in time for your big day. Keep in mind that you may want your shoes for your dress fittings, so please take your fitting timeline into account when placing your order.

Reviews

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)

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)

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)

Felt amazing right out of the box

"I've been investing in quality flats and have tried a lot of the brands that typically come up when doing research. When you live in NYC you find out pretty quickly when a shoe doesn't have the right support. I can honestly say these have been the most most comfortable pair of flats that I've bought, full stop. The leather feels delicious, and the insoles feel really comfortable, while also not being bulky. A beautiful, classic and elegant style. I was also shocked at how comfy they were straight out of the box without any breaking in."

— Sarah W. (5/5)

Stunning

"Can’t recommend enough. I have a wider foot and a narrower heel so often it is difficult to find flats that don’t rub or are comfortable. These flats are S T U N N I N G. Perfection"

— Emily F. (5/5)

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)

Love

"Bought a pair, next day bought a second in identical color because I knew this was my shoe for the summer. Dress up or down, super comfortable. Best shoe I’ve purchased in years."

— Elizabeth B. (5/5)
