Routinely cleaning patent leather will help preserve its quality, maintain its shiny appearance, and keep it free from scuffs and scrapes. To clean your shoes, wipe off any dust or dirt with a clean microfiber cloth. Then dampen the microfiber cloth with a little bit of water to gently wipe down the leather. For added shine and to buff out any markings, gently apply leather cleaner specifically formulated for patent leather.

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

Best flat ever

"I have The Roma now in 3 colors and I'm considering a fourth. My feet are not easy to fit, but I love a pointy toe flat. The option for a wide width and the elasticized topline make for a perfect fit. Comes in narrow too for those who need that fit. These look so chic with jeans, a trouser and even a midi or maxi dress. I dress them up and down and they are always perfect. Take about an hour to break in and they mold to the foot."

— Kristina K. (5/5)

Loved this shoe! It was

"Loved this shoe! It was beautiful and I really wanted it to work. But even the wide and a half size up was too tight on the toe box for me and they looked a little too long on my feet. The Napa flats worked perfectly instead."

— Emma W. (3/5)

Great Little Flat

"A great fitting staple shoe. With very narrow heels, the elastic and the narrow width make this a well fitting shoe for me. I look forward to wearing them this fall. No break in required."

— Cresta L. (5/5)

My favorite new flats for Fall!

"These are my first pair of Margaux shoes and they definitely won’t be my last. These flats are incredibly comfortable and they go with everything. I did need to work with customer service to exchange my first pair simply to size up. They were incredibly helpful! With the pointed toe, I sized up to an 8 1/2 and that did the trick. I’m so happy with my flats."

— Jennifer K. (5/5)

Beautiful

"These are my second pair of Margaux shoes and they are stunning. They are some of the most comfortable shoes I have. From previous reviews, I did order 1/2 size up and in the wide and the fit perfectly."

— Meghan B. (5/5)

Great shoe

"I bought the Roma in Praline Napa. It's s very pretty shoe and gets even better after wearing a few hours, sort of molds to the foot."

— Jane H. (5/5)

Beautiful shoes but a bit tight

"I love these shoes but they are a bit tight and I hurt me feet the first time I wore them. I am hoping they will stretch and break in a bit more as I try to wear them more."

— Erin Y. (3/5)

Elegant

"I really like this shoe. I think I should have gone up a size because the elastic gets uncomfortable at the heel by the end of the day. But the leather is nice quality and I like the point."

— Jennifer C. (4/5)

comfortable but loose heel

"Very comfortable because of the cushioned insole. However, the back elastic was not high enough for my heel and kept slipping down."

— Kim R. (4/5)

Not a good fit

"The shoes seem lovely, but the wide width is still extremely narrow. I would chalk this up to it being a pointed toe, but I have another pair of regular width pointed toe shoes from a different brand and they have lots of room. I was really looking forward to these, so I'm pretty disappointed. Hopefully a narrow-footed person can enjoy them instead!"

— Sarah B. (3/5)
