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.

    So versatile and comfortable

    I love this shoe and wear it often. It’s a delicate shape but great quality construction makes it feel strong. Definitely going to get another color or two. I purchased my usual size and it is snug. If you are between sizes I would size up.

    great flats, comfy, soft

    These flats are the best, super soft, they mold onto your feet, and are quite comfy for walking too. The color is perfect for summer, but I'll probably use them around the holiday season also to add a bit of sparkle to my outfits. Also, shoutout to Marre, the owner and mastermind behind ESSEN: she is patient, helpful and always extremely nice with any troubleshooting. Sizing is very true to size: I am a 38 1/2 and the pair made to order for me fits extremely well (a bit snug at the beginning, but the leather stretched out to perfection in a few uses). Now that I know my size, I am already considering a second pair :)
