One Editor Reviews Margaux's Ballet Flats
The Ballet Flats That Fit Everyone
2
I have to admit, walking into the store for the first time, I was a little skeptical. I've been trying to size myself into ballet flats for more than 30 years, and to no avail. I've switched brands, gone both cheap as well as splurge-worthy, tried shoes that were sorely undersized in the hopes that they would just stay on my feet, however much they hugged my toes closer than I would have liked. Nothing worked. Sitting on their gorgeous velvet couch at Margaux, in a room filled with the best coffee table books, fresh flowers, and tabletop accessories I tend to fill my own home with, I felt a little like Cinderella and the glass slipper. After slipping into one pair that was a little too big, and then another that was the size below, the third narrower option felt like they had been made just for me. They were beyond comfortable (thanks to their killer padded insole), didn't pinch anywhere, and miraculously didn't allow my heel any allowance when it came to slippage.
While I am now a proud Demi girl, through and through, it was admittedly difficult to choose a pair from their selection of pointed-toe flats, block heel city sandals, slide sandals, and the like. Below, find some of my current favorites, including their newest collaboration with Gal Meets Glam.
