Our nappa shoes 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.

Even the most CLASSIC OF CLASSICS can get more sophisticated

That's the attitude that led us when designing The Roma. It takes the sleekly simple and wildly clean pointed-toe ballet flat and adds just the smallest point of differences. Namely, an elasticated scrunch that's beguiling to look at and helps with a bespoke fit.

Reviews

Great shoes

"My feet are slightly wide, and I chose the wide fit size—it’s perfect. If I had taken the regular width, it probably would have been too narrow for me. I’m already trying to decide which other color to buy. I wish they would add a similar version with a small platform or low heel. An extra 3 cm of height would be great."

— Shany M. (5/5)

Perfect flats for every occasion

"These flats are super comfortable and chic. Half-sizes and different widths made it easy to get the perfect fit. No breaking-in required, the leather is so soft and still feels sturdy."

— Rachel P. (5/5)

Beautiful!

"Obsessed with these shoes! So comfortable and love the print."

Beautiful Shoes

"This is a beautiful and chic shoe that I really wanted to make work. The sole is well padded and the leather is soft. I ordered them in both the nappa and the crinkle patent and tried sizing up a half size and ordering in wide. Sadly they didn’t work for me—it’s not the shoe’s fault but my hard to fit feet! The sizing up to wide is a great option as it just gives you more room in the toe box but the rest of the shoe is not wide. Finally, customer service was wonderful and I may continue my search for a Margaux shoe that fits!"

— Melissa I. (5/5)

"Absolutely the most comfortable ballet flat I have owned and the style is perfection!"

— Timothy (5/5)

Comfy out of the box

"These look and feel great"

— Jennifer B. (5/5)

Want to love Margaux

"Bought 5 pair in the past month. The Roma and Pasquale were amazing. I followed up with the flat and 2 Palomas . Extraordinary disappointing . The flat is doable but the heel strap is much too big for the sandal. Ankle flops around. The Paloma’s are much too narrow. I have sent to a cobbler to stretch . I don’t know. They feel like a narrow. I ordered a wide. Not as nice quality or substantial as I imagined after my first purchase. Threw packaging away and could not return. Planned on ordering a few woven styles but will not."
