A soft, summery take on our essential square-toe ballet flat, designed with Julia Berolzheimer’s eye for elevated-meets-playful style.

Reviews

Classic modern style

"Beautiful leather and style like all Margaux flats. They run a bit long and I wish the wide was just a bit wider but I'm ok in my usual size. Add some arch support and these would be perfect."

— Megan L. (4/5)

The Fonteyn

"Someone has finally designed the perfect fashion ballet shoe. I absolutely love everything about them from the fit to the supple leather to the longer vamp. And the adjustable string is a must in ballet shoes for narrow feet. Beautiful shoes! And how thoughtful that a cloth bag is included to store them in."

— Andrea Z. (5/5)

Comfortable from day one

"These are the most comfortable ballet flats I’ve ever worn. Could wear all day right out of the box. I have received a lot of compliments & people asking where I got them. Definitely recommend."

— Lesley W. (5/5)

Another great flat from Margaux

"I have two pairs of these because they are so versatile. Runs a bit long and wish there was more arch support but my usual size works (11W). Note Margaux flats in wide are between medium and wide width not true wide."

— Megan L. (4/5)

Beautiful, Feminine, Comfortable

"Love these shoes! I chose the wide and sized up to a 9 as the 8. 5 was more snug than I would like - especially with desiring to wear these with socks on occasion (my usual size is an 8. 5). The fit is comfortable and the style is beautiful. The color is a perfect pop but neutral enough to go with most outfits. Highly recommend!"

— Lauren P. (5/5)

Perfect summer flat

"I love these shoes and can't believe it took me so long to buy them! They're comfortable from the first wear, and they're the perfect accompaniment for my favorite summer outfits. I ordered 1/2 size smaller in the wide (I normally wear 10. 5 medium) because my usual size was slightly too large and my feet slipped out."

— Ellen B. (5/5)

not fitting very well and therefore not comfortable

"To date, my heels are moving too much, I have tried a pad in the back but not there yet in terms of comfort and wearability. They are great looking ballet flats, but I am not pleased with the fit or comfort. I might have to return them, but I did wear them out to dinner one night so not sure I can return them. I really wanted them to work."

— Katharine H. (2/5)

So cute and comfortable

"Didn’t even have to break these in - they were immediately so comfy! I have wide feet and the wide size was so perfect. Definitely worth it."

— Mirrah P. (5/5)

Cute party flats

"Margaux is my go to brand because of the diversity of sizes. I don’t wear heels anymore, so these gold flats were the perfect party shoe to wear to a cocktail reception. Please bring back the loafer."

— Heather H. (5/5)

Fantastic Flat!

"The leather is so soft but keeps it shape. Love the color and flattering classic style. I don’t have a very wide foot but it order a wide in these shoes. I’m not sure I’ve ever ordered a wide before but glad I did. Worth the money!"

— Cynthia M. (5/5)
