  • A soft, unstructured flat with a flexible leather sole, designed for durability and comfort
  • Adjustable cord bow to customize the fit, for a personalized fit
  • Handwoven leather upper
  • 5 mm of plush foam padding
  • Subtle variations in color and texture are part of the natural character of our materials, making each pair unique.

We recommend ordering ½ size down from your typical US shoe size for the best fit. As an unstructured flat, The Demi should feel comfortably snug right out of the box, as the woven leather will gradually soften and mold to your foot with wear.  A secure fit from the start will help ensure the best fit over time.

Fit tip: The adjustable bow isn't just a design detail—it helps tailor the fit to your foot. If you're noticing a little heel slippage or would simply like a more secure fit, gently tighten the bow. Watch this video to learn how to adjust the bow properly.for your best fit. 

Each upper is handwoven by artisans in India, resulting in subtle variations between pairs. 

If you're looking for a little extra security, we'd recommend taking a look at The Woven Demi Jane or Woven Fonteyn Jane.

Since nappa leather is porous and absorbs water easily, avoid getting them wet. Getting the shoes soaking wet can irrevocably stain the leather.

Most quality shoe repair shops will offer products to polish, protect, and refresh the leather's surface. A neutral cream polish—one without color—will also help protect the surface from scuffs and scrapes and keep the leather hydrated. If something's spilled on the leather, try using a soft cloth with a small amount of cleanser or cream on it. Rub the surface in a circular motion, then allow the shoe to dry before buffing the entire thing lightly with a dry, clean cloth.

The FIT and FEEL of a Margaux woven is UNPARALLELED

Handwoven and constructed by a single artisan, each pair of woven shoes in our collection is a testament to the power of craft. The silhouette is designed to be effortlessly beautiful, but the feel truly comes down to the quality of the leather. It's vegetable-dyed and handoiled before being carefully woven with a traditional basketweave technique. The result? A fit that softly encases the foot with beautiful breathability. 

Overall rating: 4.754811 / 5 from 1611 reviews.

Reviews

Best ballet flat on the market

"I have never even tried on a Chanel flat but I could only hope they’d be as good as this shoe. No other brand comes close to the immediate comfort and beautiful shape and quality of materials for the price. Own more pairs than I would ever admit and at this rate will be a lifelong customer!"

— Charle H. (5/5)

The most comfortable flats ever!

"I have tried many many pairs of flats over the years, and these, hands down, are the most comfortable ones I’ve ever worn. The leather is buttery soft, the cute bow tie is deceptive because while it’s cute, it also helps adjust the fit, and the flats are cushioned beautifully. I have a wide toe box but narrow ankles, and the wide version of these flats work perfectly for me. In fact, my only complaint is that they don’t come in enough colors! Can I lobby for a navy blue version? :)"

— May L. (5/5)

Beautifully Made and Comfortable!

"These shoes are gorgeous. They’re beautifully-made and all the details are just perfect. They were comfortable right out of the box and I was able to wear them for four straight hours with lots of walking. It took me two tries to get the perfect size and the customer service is as wonderful as the shoes!"

— Ann P. (5/5)

Demi

"The shoes are comfortable, timeless, and well made. I ordered my usual size but in wide. (I don't usually wear wide shoes. ) They fit perfectly. It's hard to find leather soled shoes that aren't over $1,000. I'm hoping to wear these for years."

— Eileen M. (5/5)

Get them

"I overthink every shoe purchase if it's not sneakers because I hate uncomfortable shoes that require a break in etc and you don't need to overthihnk these. Get them. They are incredibly comfortable, beatuiful buttery leather, the adjustable tie is productive and adorable. I just am obsessed and really would die if they did a butter color."

— Nicole M. (5/5)

Beautiful and Worth the Price

"This is my first pair of ballet flats, and I absolutely love them! When I first received them, they did rub against the back of my heels a little, but I didn’t think it was a big issue. Not every pair of shoes fits your feet perfectly right away, and sometimes they just need a little time to break in. After wearing them a few times, they’ve broken in really nicely and are now very comfortable. The soles are also super soft and comfortable to walk in. They go with almost everything in my wardrobe, which makes them so easy to style. They’re super cute, beautiful, and versatile. I’m really happy with this purchase and definitely think they’re worth the price!"

— Kailin Y. (5/5)

Most comfortable flat I ever owned.

"Due to having narrow feet, I have so much trouble finding a comfortable ballet flat that fits properly. All other flats I’ve tried have zero support and flop off of my heel. This shoe has enough cushioning and support and never slips off of my heel. I have walked on many different surfaces and live in a city environment. They are the best shoes I’ve ever owned—-seriously. I am buying another pair!"

— Erica W. (5/5)

Obsessed

"I’m so glad this style and colorway were still available. I always have several Margaux styles on my wish list and this one finally made it to the top. I would by one of everything, if I had more pairs of feet and it was financially feasible."

— Jhari D. (5/5)

Absolutely Love!

"Just received my first pair of the demi - and they have ruined all other ballet flats for me! I wore them all day right out of the box, no issues - and walked at least 5 miles in them. Fit like a glove! Beautiful color and leather."

— Kaitlyn B. (5/5)

My favorite ballet flats

"I love these shoes so much! They are incredibly comfortable right out of the box - no breaking in necessary. The color is gorgeous and goes with everything. A beautiful suede shoe for fall."

— Heidi B. (5/5)
