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.

    Simple and perfect.

    I bought these with a bit of hesitation as I thought they looked a little flat soled and wouldn’t be comfortable. Much to my pleasant surprise, I love them. They are simple, timeless and comfortable for a ballet flat! I am a fairly standard 39, and the 39 is bang on perfect. Well worth the purchase 💗

    A dream to wear

    Purchased the Foundation Flat on a recommendation and I'm so glad I did. They are a gorgeous, simple but elegant flat which goes with pretty well anything in my wardrobe. They have quickly become my go to shoe when I need something elegant but comfortable enough to wear all day. I could walk in them all day - seriously, they are like wearing a pair of slippers, only incredibly more stylish! I have very wide feet so they were a tad tight on the top of the foot for the first couple of wears but the incredibly soft leather now fits my foot perfectly. Would highly recommend.

    Chic and modern flat

    I love these shoes. I wanted a ballet flat that wasn't too girly and the Foundation Flats in silver fit the bill, with its higher vamp and lack of bows. They were comfy right out of the box and I wore them for a few months with their original sole before getting them resoled. The silver is shiny enough to make a statement without being blingy. I've received lots of compliments when I wear them!

    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.
