Description

The Foundation Flat - Size Chart Visual

A timeless pair that feels as good as it looks. Our signature ballet flats are expertly made by hand in Italy from rich brown leather and their sleek shape is defined by the natural curve of the foot. The directional squared toe and flattering vamp give this humble ballet pump a simple yet modern update.  Designed for everyday wear, this pair is versatile enough to wear to work and at the weekend, too.

This Cognac colour is exclusively made-to-order, it will not be available in stock. Your order is custom made for you, and only you. This helps us significantly reduce waste by eliminating excess inventory and produce in a more sustainable way.

    Comfortable and stylish

    The Foundation Flats are very comfortable, as they are made from a very soft leather. I love the minimal design and it feels very modern. I feel stylish wearing them. I have two pairs now, black and ivory, and I have my eye on the silver ones. Would definitely recommend.

    Loving them !

    Soft, comfortable & elegant. Versatile & works well with jeans, skirts & trouser suit - I find I'm wearing them 3-4 days a week. Slightly tight on the top of my foot where the curve of the shoe meets, so that has taken a bit of stretching and wearing in.

    Love these!

    These are my idealized shoe. I've been looking for them forever. Simple, elegant, eye-catching. When I saw these on instagram, I did not hesitate. Ordering online can be a leap of faith, but I have no regrets. These were comfortable, stylish and fit perfectly right out of the box. A real winner
