Routinely cleaning patent leather will help preserve its quality, maintain its shiny appearance, and keep it free from scuffs and scrapes. To clean your shoes, wipe off any dust or dirt with a clean microfiber cloth. Then dampen the microfiber cloth with a little bit of water to gently wipe down the leather. For added shine and to buff out any markings, gently apply leather cleaner specifically formulated for patent leather.

Even the most CLASSIC OF CLASSICS can get more sophisticated

That's the attitude that led us when designing The Roma. It takes the sleekly simple and wildly clean pointed-toe ballet flat and adds just the smallest point of differences. Namely, an elasticated scrunch that's beguiling to look at and helps with a bespoke fit.

Reviews

Wonderful but runs short

"My other Margaux shoes are 39W, but I had to exchange these to a 39. 5W. They run short. I went into the new SF store to exchange and they were so helpful. They did not have W widths in stock, but it wad nice to see all the different styles and colors IRL. 4 stars because they run small and the stretchy part around the heel was a bit painful at the end of the day. I didn’t get a blister but could have used a bandaid to break in. Phoebe feels like you’re wearing a sock and so comfortable right away, where Marina"

Stunning, comfortable flats

"These shoes are incredibly stylish and comfortable. The pointy toe makes the flat a bit sexy, dressy. The Merlot is gorgeous. I will buy another pair when I can! Highly recommend."

— Sarah K. (5/5)

Beautiful.

"The shoe is great in every way . However I am having a hard time finding the right size. My foot is narrow, but the size I usually wear is a little short. Hoping the next size fits without being to wide."

— sandy c. (5/5)

"These shoes are beautiful! I normally wear a 36. 5 but in these shoes I would recommend ordering a half size up."

— melissa (5/5)

Beautiful

"Absolutely the most beautiful shoe—the color is unraveled, the leather is luscious and it fits fabulously!"

— Stephanie M. (5/5)

"Beautiful unique flats that dress up any outfit!"

— Elise (5/5)

Roma

"all your shoes are well made and comfortable. Only problem I have is not finding the correct size for each style you offer. Great customer service. Buying online is very difficult!"

— Penelope S. (5/5)

Beauty and comfort in a flat

"Finally! An attractive, comfortable flat that you can dress up or down. I had to go a size up because the toe area is quite narrow."

— Christine S. (5/5)

Pretty, but couldn't find right fit

"I wish these would have worked for me. They are beautiful shoes, plus I couldn't believe how cushioned the footbed was. But the medium was too narrow on my forefoot, and the wide slipped off my heel. Wish they would have worked, but I ended up returning."

— Dana S. (3/5)

Great shoes!

"Hello and thank you for choosing me to do this. I am a big Margaux fan (both due to styles and comfort) - and that extends to this new style and the color is cool too! I have in the past found shoes with elastic backs a bit uncomfortable because I walk a lot in NYC, but these are not. I have walked a bit in them and they do not rub and the toe, while pointy, does not pinch. In short, I really like them and thank you!"

— Molly R. (5/5)
