"I wish I could tell you these aren’t addictive and leather perfection, but they just are. Like a driving gloves, for your feet. "

Megan C.

Deconstructed elegance that you'll LIVE IN

We designed The Phoebe to feel as if you're wearing nothing at all. It's deconstructed elegance at its very best, with a sacchetto construction that fits and feels like a glove. Modern lines feel both of the moment and utterly timeless, and a thin elastic band over the foot is the ultimate in form and function.

Reviews

The cutest and comfiest

"I got the phoebe denim in my usual size in wide and they are a perfect fit. The shoes are comfortable out of the box because of the material and supportive insoles. They are the cutest pair, goes so well with jeans, shorts or dress. I just love wearing them. The staff at Margaux SF helped me get the right pair. They are professional and really helpful. The store is also kitty corner from a parking lot, very convenient to drive to."

— Joanne B. (5/5)

Leopard Phoebe

"Love the style and leopard pattern of these flats! As someone who has a wide foot, I did have to size up (even in the wide) as other reviews recommended. They now fit great width wise but are just slightly long. Still keeping because I have been eyeing these for so long and love the style. If these came in XXwide I would want to buy every color"

— Courtney S. (4/5)

The most comfortable flats of my life.

"These shoes are gorgeous, and feel like soft slippers on my feet. I almost hesitate to wear them outdoors because they’re so soft, ha. I do think I could have gone down a size simply because the leather is so buttery (and foldable), but I love these. They’re my second pair, 10/10 no notes!"

— Danielle M. (5/5)

Absolutely divine

"Most comfortable ballet style shoes I have ever tried. They simply feel like I’m wearing a slipper. They all come with a width option which is great, no more cramped up toes. But, I wear 9 and I had to go all the way to 40. 5 to get there. The extra length doesn’t bother me because of the style. The suede feels different than a leather. If you have a chance, try them at the store."

— Dominika S. (5/5)

Obsessed!!

"I just bought The Phoebe in black leather to replace a pair of ballet flats I bought in Paris that were just not comfortable. The Phoebe's were comfortable right out of the box. The leather is stunning. . . it is such excellent quality, and the shoes are chic without being trendy (as all Margaux shoes are. ) This is my fourth pair, and I will wear them all for years!) The quality, style, fit are all outstanding, and a good value for the price. (Some reviews said they were snug in the toes, but I did not find that at all. ) I have some designer shoes, and the quality, style, fit, and comfort of Margaux shoes always comes out on top. Can't recommend these shoes enough!"

— Helen G. (5/5)

Lovely shoes

"These shoes feel like butter. I scoured all the reviews and chose to go with a half size bigger because a few said the toe box was snug. It’s not really…However, Margaux said these were true to size. I should’ve listened. I wear a solid 7 1/2 and went with 38, which they calculate as size 8…it’s loose, but doable and since they were final sale…I will buy more but, will follow their guidelines! Great communication with customer service."

— Virginia K. (5/5)

Obsessed with The Phoebe!

"The most comfortable flats I own and the first pair of flats I've purchased that I can walk 20 blocks in without blisters. I typically wear a size 6 in flats, but I sized down half a size for a better fit."

— Priscilla C. (5/5)

Best shoes and the best customer service to help!

"Before ordering, I reached out to Margaux customer service to ask about sizing compared to the Marlowe loafer. Gracie recommended a 39W (I ordered the 38. 5 regular width in the Marlowe) which fits perfectly! Margaux’s leather is so high quality, comfortable, and gorgeous even as it wears in. The black crinkle gloss is so versatile and can be dressed up or down! I’m a Margaux customer for life!!"

— Kali K. (5/5)

Love love love

"This is one of my favorite pairs of shoes ever. The leather is incredibly soft and supple. The shoe itself is so well made. It is comfortable to walk around in and elevates every outfit. I have to hold myself back from buying multiple pairs of Margaux every week."

— Neda F. (5/5)

Best ballet flats

"Haven’t worn flats in years but these are so chic and comfortable. I like the squared toe box and contrasting elastic band. They feel really high quality"

— Ambrielle M. (5/5)
