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.

    White in Winter? Absolutely!

    I've always wanted a pair of white shoes that weren't sneakers. These fit the bill. They're chic, comfortable and so versatile. I am typically a 7 or 7.5 US. I took these in a size 37. They're perfect.

    My 5th Pair!

    I love these shoes. Comfortable stylish and great for casual or evening. I’m slowly collecting all the colours. The leather is soft, I never get blisters, even when wearing them straight out of the box. They’re beautifully made. 💕

    Love

    I love these flats! I have been looking for something along these lines for awhile. The shape is not too pointy, but not too round - perfect for everyday. They’re also incredibly comfortable!

    Summer shoe

    Very pleased with my first purchase, super soft leather and true to size.

    Dropping the rating as I could do with a slightly lower cut to the front due to my high instep, this a problem with many shoes for me.
