  • A soft, unstructured flat with a flexible leather sole, designed for durability and comfort
  • Adjustable cord bow to customize the fit, for a personalized fit
  • Suede upper with grosgrain trim
  • 5 mm of plush foam padding
  • Handmade in Spain

We recommend ordering based on your typical US shoe size. As an unstructured flat, The Demi should feel comfortably snug right out of the box, and the suede will gently soften and mold to your foot with wear, creating a fit that's uniquely yours over time.

Fit tip: The adjustable bow isn't just a design detail—it helps tailor the fit to your foot. If you're noticing a little heel slippage or would simply like a more secure fit, gently tighten the bow. Watch this video to learn how to adjust the bow properly.

  • Medium: A standard width throughout (comparable to a B width)
  • Narrow: A slimmer fit throughout (comparable to an A width)
  • Wide: A roomier fit at the ball of the foot (comparable to a BC-BD width

Our interpretation of the CLASSIC BALLET FLAT, favored by the chicest girls we know

The working cord bow and soft leather 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.

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)

Beautiful but narrow

"These flats are so beautiful! The color is very nice. They feel a little tight along the width though - and I don't usually buy or wear wide size shoes but this just feels a lot tighter than I'm used to. Maybe I need to wear them in. I wish they fit great outside of the box because of the price tag but they are still nice."

Samantha R. (3/5)

Felt amazing right out of the box

"I've been investing in quality flats and have tried a lot of the brands that typically come up when doing research. When you live in NYC you find out pretty quickly when a shoe doesn't have the right support. I can honestly say these have been the most most comfortable pair of flats that I've bought, full stop. The leather feels delicious, and the insoles feel really comfortable, while also not being bulky. A beautiful, classic and elegant style. I was also shocked at how comfy they were straight out of the box without any breaking in."

Sarah W. (5/5)

The heel keeps falling off

"These shoes don't stay on my feet. I've tried pulling the drawstring tighter. . . but they construction makes it so every step the heel comes off, which is disappointing. They look good in a picture but they're not practical if you actually want to wear them in real life."

Erin M. (1/5)

Who needs Chanel!!

"Theses are beyond adorable, incredibly comfortable and a I bought 3 pairs for the price of one pair of Chanel flats which let’s face it aren’t that comfortable!! I bought these at the store in SF and the staff was very attentive and kind"

Lindsay P. (5/5)

Love

"Bought a pair, next day bought a second in identical color because I knew this was my shoe for the summer. Dress up or down, super comfortable. Best shoe I’ve purchased in years."

Elizabeth B. (5/5)

"Arrived damaged—I was so excited to receive these shoes & planned to wear them on my trip to La Jolla over July 4. As soon as they arrived I opened the box & tried them on. The right shoe fit perfectly—like a glove. However, when I put on the left shoe, I immediately felt a sharp, pointed object pressing into my heel through the sole. I initially thought I could somehow push it down or work around the discomfort, but every step felt like I was stepping on a nail. It made the shoe completely unwearable. I am very disappointed, especially since this brand has such a great reputation for quality and comfort. Unfortunately, I received a completely defective left shoe, so I haven’t and will not be able to wear this otherwise adorable pair of shoes. I want to exchange them for a new pair that is free of defects because I truly love the style & would still like the opportunity to wear them. Hoping that customer service will make this right & send the replacement pair to arrive before July 4."

Katie (1/5)

These are the most comfortable

"These are the most comfortable flats, I need in every color! I have been wearing Margaux for many years and have never been disappointed in the quality or fit."

Season B. (5/5)

Beautiful Shoe but

"Beautiful shoe!! Fit perfectly in my usual size…I just prefer a softer leather. I have the phoebe flats in black nappa and the leather on those is perfect!"

Kelsey R. (4/5)

"Sadly the shoe is not true to size as advertised and unfortunately it was final sale. Anyone reading this review should know to go up half a size when ordering."
