  • 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.

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

Get them

"I overthink every shoe purchase if it's not sneakers because I hate uncomfortable shoes that require a break in etc and you don't need to overthihnk these. Get them. They are incredibly comfortable, beatuiful buttery leather, the adjustable tie is productive and adorable. I just am obsessed and really would die if they did a butter color."

— Nicole M. (5/5)

Beautiful and Worth the Price

"This is my first pair of ballet flats, and I absolutely love them! When I first received them, they did rub against the back of my heels a little, but I didn’t think it was a big issue. Not every pair of shoes fits your feet perfectly right away, and sometimes they just need a little time to break in. After wearing them a few times, they’ve broken in really nicely and are now very comfortable. The soles are also super soft and comfortable to walk in. They go with almost everything in my wardrobe, which makes them so easy to style. They’re super cute, beautiful, and versatile. I’m really happy with this purchase and definitely think they’re worth the price!"

— Kailin Y. (5/5)

Most comfortable flat I ever owned.

"Due to having narrow feet, I have so much trouble finding a comfortable ballet flat that fits properly. All other flats I’ve tried have zero support and flop off of my heel. This shoe has enough cushioning and support and never slips off of my heel. I have walked on many different surfaces and live in a city environment. They are the best shoes I’ve ever owned—-seriously. I am buying another pair!"

— Erica W. (5/5)

Obsessed

"I’m so glad this style and colorway were still available. I always have several Margaux styles on my wish list and this one finally made it to the top. I would by one of everything, if I had more pairs of feet and it was financially feasible."

— Jhari D. (5/5)

Absolutely Love!

"Just received my first pair of the demi - and they have ruined all other ballet flats for me! I wore them all day right out of the box, no issues - and walked at least 5 miles in them. Fit like a glove! Beautiful color and leather."

— Kaitlyn B. (5/5)

My favorite ballet flats

"I love these shoes so much! They are incredibly comfortable right out of the box - no breaking in necessary. The color is gorgeous and goes with everything. A beautiful suede shoe for fall."

— Heidi B. (5/5)

"The leather is smooth and beautiful, but i bought the wide size and they are still SO narrow. Really shocking for shoes at this price point and wuality level that the size could be so far off."

— Lisa (1/5)

Love the shoe. . . however the saleswoman

"Love the shoe. . . however the saleswoman suggested I buy one full size smaller because it would stretch. . . but it did not stretch and they are too small. I wear a 7 and ended up with a 6. So I am sad they are not comfortable. She said plan on buying a half size smaller but then suggested a full size smaller."

— Paula A. (5/5)

Chic and comfortable

"I love my new shoes. They are chic and comfortable. They look good with jeans and floral skirts in this transitional weather. I got them specifically for a trip to Italy but I am wearing them all the time."

— Jennifer C. (5/5)

My most stylish and comfortable

"My most stylish and comfortable ballet shoes. They’re versatile enough for dressing up or down, and I can walk long distances without any foot soreness. They also require no break-in period."

— Sarah W. (5/5)
