A modern evolution of the classic ballet flat is designed for everywhere the day takes you. Discover The Fonteyn, handcrafted with our signature comfort-first details plus a chic, subtly squared-off toe and slightly higher rise.
We recommend ordering ½ size down from your typical US shoe size. Because sizing down also reduces the width slightly, we'd recommend sizing up in width to help maintain a comfortable fit through the front of the shoe.
The Fonteyn is designed for a glove-like fit and should feel comfortably snug right out of the box. The soft nappa leather will gradually soften and mold to your foot with wear.
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..

"Originally I ordered a size 9, regular width. I found that they were a little snug, so I promptly returned and ordered a size 9, but in your Wide width. Perfect. They fit like a charm and are so comfortable I wore them all day the second they were delivered. Love the color and style. Couldn’t be more pleased. Just trying to decide the next color that I will order."
"These shoes are great and high quality. They’re overall pretty comfy, however, I followed the sizing guidance from Margaux to size down a half size and wish I hadn’t. They’re tighter than I’d like them to be and if I wear them too long they rub on my heels. I’m sure if I’d ordered my normal size they’d be perfect. Just be mindful if you’re looking at the sizing recommendation from Margaux!"
"I was delighted by how elegant the shape is on these shoes. They're just a little different than your "run of the mill" ballet flat. The box is a little flat, but after a bit of wear they have stretched out enough to be quite comfortable!"
"beautiful ponyhair shoes, makes my foot look sleek and slender. no break in required. im a 8.5 which translates to 39 at margaux (and most other brands), not 38.5 (what most conversion charts say)"
"I love this shoe! The color is beautiful, and the fit is so comfortable! I initially ordered a size too large; customer service was prompt and very helpful in assisting me with my exchange. I am relatively new to Margaux shoes, and I have purchased five pairs already!"
"The Fonteyn is a comfortable flat made of soft leather and has an ample toe box. These shoes feel like slippers. I chose the cognac color but am considering buying a second pair."
"I had forgotten a pair of flats on a recent work trip, and was so grateful when I found the Fonteyn in the SF store. These were a perfect fit, perfect shape, and were exactly what I needed. Got many compliments. These sales associate was incredible helpful. Loved the space, too."
"Bought these new a few days before a ten day trip in Italy - Rome & Taormina. Wore them both places 5k++ steps, zero wear in time. I'm a wide size 7 and they fit true to size. So comfortable and versatile."
"Beautiful leopard flats. Padded, subtle square toe. I sized down 1/2 a size but went with W width instead of M."
"I love wearing ballet flats, usually the traditional almond toe versions, and bought the Fonteyn version as an alternate. The slightly higher cut and barely squared toe is a beautiful option between a ballet flats and a loafer. They are comfortable to walk in every day and yet elegant and versatile."
