Ballet Flats

In this guide you’ll discover the main types, how to style them, materials, and sizing & care recommendations.

Types of ballerinas

• Classic: timeless round toe silhouette for everyday use.
• Square or V-shaped toe: elongates the foot and adds a modern touch.
• With details: bows, buckles, stitching, or mixed materials (patent, tweed).
• Slingback: fresh and chic for spring and summer.
• With comfort insole or mini wedge: extra support without losing the flat look.

How to style them

Perfect with cropped jeans, midi skirts, and flowy dresses. For the office, pair them with tailored trousers and a blazer. Neutral tones (black, nude, tan) maximize versatility, while metallics and bright colors add a special touch.

Materials & finishes

• Leather: adapts to the foot and gains character over time.
• Suede: soft feel, ideal for mid-season looks.
• Patent: glossy finish, easy to clean.
• Textiles (tweed, mesh): lightweight with unique textures.

Quick sizing tips

• If between two sizes, choose your usual flat shoe size.
• Fit should be snug but comfortable; avoid heel gaps.
• Check the size guide in each product page: fit may vary by material/last.

Care instructions

• Use a protective spray for leather or suede before first wear.
• Clean with a damp cloth (leather/patent) or soft brush (suede).
• Air dry in the shade and store with shoe trees or paper to keep shape.
