The classic ballet flat, with a bridal-inspired twist

A smiling woman in a strapless white dress and birdcage veil holds white sandals outdoors near a fountain and historic building on a sunny day.
A person wearing pale gray ballet flats with small bows stands on a light-colored stone ledge in soft, natural light.

The leather bow and soft feel of this signature style nod to The Demi's heritage, while other details—like a plush insole and multi-width sizing—make it undeniably comfortable. We could live in these shoes, truly.

    It was a very easy decision... I just knew those were the shoes I was going to wear because they’re so cute.

    I most value style and comfort in shoes, and it’s really challenging to find a pair that meets this criteria. Margaux checks those boxes every single dang time.

The Demi is an unstructured shoe with an adjustable cord for a customizable fit. If you are between sizes or widths, we recommend taking the smaller size.

Due to the handwoven construction and open weave, the Woven Demi has a more relaxed, looser fit than the regular Demi. If you’re between sizes, we recommend that you take the smaller size in the woven version.

Medium width is considered standard, so if you generally find standard widths comfortable in other shoes, we suggest taking a Medium. However, if you find that other shoes often pinch or feel too tight around the ball of your foot, the Wide is a fantastic option to try. It is made on a combination last, with the toe box being the only area that is wider. (It's also a great option to try if you have bunions.) The Narrow will be more narrow throughout the entirety of the shoes; it's a good option if you find your foot frequently slips or feels insecure in a standard width.

Additionally, the working bow on your Demis can be tightened to customize the width around your foot as needed.

Our nappa Demis are made from a soft, Italian nappa and flexible leather soles. Nappa leather is permeable, so avoid exposure to water and rain. To maintain the sheen and finish over time, you can use a quality leather lotion. Our suede Demis are made from Italian suede, a surprisingly durable material. Marks and scuffs to the suede can be gently removed using a suede brush and cleaning spray, like those provided in our suede care kit. Regular treatment with a protectant spray can also help prevent signs of future wear.

The Demi is an unstructured style and will have a softer, less structured, and more flexible feel than our other flats, like The Pointe.

Bespoke pairs ordered through the atelier are handmade to order at our factory in Spain and ship within 10-12 weeks of order–right in time for your big day. Keep in mind that you may want your shoes for your dress fittings, so please take your fitting timeline into account when placing your order.

Reviews

Love it!

"I somehow accidentally ordered a wide in my size and when it came I was super worried it would t fit. It was definitely too wide. But then I noticed it has the ability to pull the little bow tighter and it makes the shoe a bit smaller. It was perfect! It’s lightweight and adorable, and yet doesn’t feel like it is going to come apart. It’s great quality for such a simple, open weave shoe. Perfect for summer in Texas."

— Jenna B. (5/5)

I love these shoes! they

"I love these shoes! they are so comfortable- i've worn them all day to both the office and on weekends. They will be the first itme packed on a trip this summer to London and Paris. Your customer experience is a home run from start to finish. the first pair I ordered was too big, and the next size down was not available so I tried these. the exhange process was super easy. I have already ordered 2 more pairs and can't wait until they arrive!"

— Lizbeth R. (5/5)

Love them!

"This is the first pair of ballet flats I was actually able to walk hours across the city in! I find them to run true to size and love how I can tighten the toe with the adjustable bows. My only complaint is the back of the shoe did dig into my foot after a few hours of wear, but maybe that’s just the break in period."

— Morgane R. (5/5)

So Comfy and So Many Compliments

"This is one of many pairs of Margaux shoes I own. I seem to have very "sensitive" feet, and Margaux has always been walkable from the first step. Thank goodness someone finally made a stylish shoe that is also a delight to wear. I'm a huge fan!"

— Eva W. (5/5)

The Demi - Ecru and Saddle Woven Leather size 8

"As soon as I put these on, I didn't want to take them off. They are so soft and cushy. I was worried that the woven leather might be hard as some shoes like this are but this was actually very soft and moves with you. After I put these on, I knew I wanted another pair. Love them."

— Jen S. (5/5)

Cute!!

"Firstly, I appreciate the good ease of an exchange, even though I paid for the opportunity to return (not a fan of this). I ususally wear a size 7 and had to exchange for a 6. 5. When I exchanges, it seemed the web site borught me to a 6. 5 N, which was not the right size either. I exchanged for a 6. 5M and they fit well! Very cute. My only negative is that the strings for the bow are too long, especially if you pull the stigns to make the shoes tighter- which I have not done yet."

— Stephanie K. (5/5)

Love these shoes!

"They fit like a glove. I’m either a 9. 5 or 10 depending on the style and brand, and so when I saw the 40. 5 fit 9. 5/10, I knew they be perfect. The design and quality is of luxury standards and they are probably the most comfortable ballet flat I’ve ever worn. Will be purchasing more from Margaux in the future."

— Laura M. (5/5)

New favorite shoe

"After weeks of deliberating on which ballet flat to commit to (for my first pair ever), I'm so glad I went with the Demi. I was uncertain about which width to choose, and a team member promptly assisted. The fit is perfect, I wear them everywhere."

— Veronica C. (5/5)

Perfect Spring/Summer Flat

"Like all Margaux shoes - these are perfect. Amazing fit and quality. Spot on style for spring summer. A perfect neutral alternative for spring/summer dresses and cropped jeans. LOVE!"

— Lauren B. (5/5)

I really love these shoes, but unfortunately the size didn’t work for me.

"I really love these shoes, but unfortunately the size didn’t work for me. I first ordered size 36, which was too big and felt loose on my feet. Then I ordered size 35. 5, but that one was too tight and put pressure on my toes."

— Soha R. (3/5)
