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.

    Brilliant flat for everyday wear

    Really pleased with these. They are super comfortable and elegant. I'm in between sizes and sized up, which is perfect.

    It is a lovely shoe, but needed to buy a size up from my usual 38 because of the very high front and my instep.
