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.

    Amazing and make my legs look so much slimmer

    Very comfortable. I am usually an EUR 40,5 and ordered 41 just in case and they fit great. A bit bigger but that's my life so I would say they fit true to size. If you have a wider feet I would size up. Would love to get at least 3 more colors. Will do that next year in spring.

    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
