Description

The Foundation Flat - Size Chart Visual

An elegant, architectural ballet flat that feels as good as it looks. Designed for everyday wear, these slip-on shoes are cut, sewn and crafted by hand from supple, LWG-certified leather and their shape is defined by the natural curve of the foot. The directional squared toe and flattering vamp give the humble ballet flat a simple yet modern update.

    Great quality

    The leather is incredibly soft and the sole feels supportive despite being thin. The shape of the shoe is elegant and elongating but definitely for those who prefer full coverage ballet flats.

    The most comfortable shoes I own

    These shoes are so beautiful. The leather is so soft and they are extremely comfortable. I have a high in-step and my pair were custom made for me and fit perfectly. I will definitely be returning for additional colours.
