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.

    Most comfortable flats I own

    These flats are incredibly comfortable. They look beautify on and mould nicely to my feet. ESSEN were also very supportive with their customer service and ensured I had a shoe that fit well (I was in between sizes and had a size 37.5 made for me) - thank you!

    Love these

    So comfortable. Leather feels as smooth as butter. Fits like a glove. I’m a 38.5 and ordered the 39. Perfect fit.

    Gorgeously soft leather and lovely style

    I had been eyeing off the Essen shoes for months and made the leap to give them a go. Absolutely love the leather - soft but also durable. The style looks beautiful on. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars rather than 5 is that I have a high foot arch, so towards the end of the day, I feel the top of my foot is quite uncomfortable with the shoe leaving an indentation on my foot. But honestly that’s after wearing them for more than 6 hrs. Highly recommend this shoe.

    Beautiful shoes

    Beautiful shoes both aesthetically and to wear. The leather is so soft it’s like a glove on your foot. I’ve had a lot of compliments especially about the colour.

    Like others looking at purchasing again in another colour.
