Description

The Foundation Flat - Size Chart Visual

An elegant, minimalist ballet flat that feels as good as it looks. Carefully crafted in Italy for everyday wear, these light brown slip-on shoes are cut, sewn, and made by hand from luxurious Italian aniline leather and their shape is defined by the natural curve of the foot. The directional square toe and flattering vamp give the humble ballet pump a simple yet modern update.

    Did not like flats before the Foundation Flats

    never liked flats bc my foot flattens, spread n look like tied sausages. The foundation flat’s leather is malleable and shaped itself to my feet. Well made and elegant. Added sole to mine to withstand NYC walking.

    Most comfortable shoe I own

    The leather is so buttery soft that I didn’t even need to break these in. They are the most comfortable shoe I’ve worn and I look forward to ordering the other colours.

    Review of Essen purchase

    Very soft leather and very comfortable to wear.

    The champagne colour is pleasing. A flattering look on the foot and have received compliments.

    How many is too many?

    My perfect flat. Cool, modern classic and comfy. I started wearing them straight from the box, and they were soft and pliable. Def worth it. Now…silver or gold for the next pair.
