The classic ballet flat, with a bridal-inspired twist

A smiling woman in a strapless white dress and birdcage veil holds white sandals outdoors near a fountain and historic building on a sunny day.
A person wearing pale gray ballet flats with small bows stands on a light-colored stone ledge in soft, natural light.

The leather bow and soft feel of this signature style 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.

    It was a very easy decision... I just knew those were the shoes I was going to wear because they’re so cute.

    I most value style and comfort in shoes, and it’s really challenging to find a pair that meets this criteria. Margaux checks those boxes every single dang time.

The Demi is an unstructured shoe with an adjustable cord for a customizable fit. If you are between sizes or widths, we recommend taking the smaller size.

Due to the handwoven construction and open weave, the Woven Demi has a more relaxed, looser fit than the regular Demi. If you’re between sizes, we recommend that you take the smaller size in the woven version.

Medium width is considered standard, so if you generally find standard widths comfortable in other shoes, we suggest taking a Medium. However, if you find that other shoes often pinch or feel too tight around the ball of your foot, the Wide is a fantastic option to try. It is made on a combination last, with the toe box being the only area that is wider. (It's also a great option to try if you have bunions.) The Narrow will be more narrow throughout the entirety of the shoes; it's a good option if you find your foot frequently slips or feels insecure in a standard width.

Additionally, the working bow on your Demis can be tightened to customize the width around your foot as needed.

Our nappa Demis are made from a soft, Italian nappa and flexible leather soles. Nappa leather is permeable, so avoid exposure to water and rain. To maintain the sheen and finish over time, you can use a quality leather lotion. Our suede Demis are made from Italian suede, a surprisingly durable material. Marks and scuffs to the suede can be gently removed using a suede brush and cleaning spray, like those provided in our suede care kit. Regular treatment with a protectant spray can also help prevent signs of future wear.

The Demi is an unstructured style and will have a softer, less structured, and more flexible feel than our other flats, like The Pointe.

Bespoke pairs ordered through the atelier are handmade to order at our factory in Spain and ship within 10-12 weeks of order–right in time for your big day. Keep in mind that you may want your shoes for your dress fittings, so please take your fitting timeline into account when placing your order.

Reviews

Best ballet flat on the market

"I have never even tried on a Chanel flat but I could only hope they’d be as good as this shoe. No other brand comes close to the immediate comfort and beautiful shape and quality of materials for the price. Own more pairs than I would ever admit and at this rate will be a lifelong customer!"

— Charle H. (5/5)

The most comfortable flats ever!

"I have tried many many pairs of flats over the years, and these, hands down, are the most comfortable ones I’ve ever worn. The leather is buttery soft, the cute bow tie is deceptive because while it’s cute, it also helps adjust the fit, and the flats are cushioned beautifully. I have a wide toe box but narrow ankles, and the wide version of these flats work perfectly for me. In fact, my only complaint is that they don’t come in enough colors! Can I lobby for a navy blue version? :)"

— May L. (5/5)

Beautifully Made and Comfortable!

"These shoes are gorgeous. They’re beautifully-made and all the details are just perfect. They were comfortable right out of the box and I was able to wear them for four straight hours with lots of walking. It took me two tries to get the perfect size and the customer service is as wonderful as the shoes!"

— Ann P. (5/5)

Demi

"The shoes are comfortable, timeless, and well made. I ordered my usual size but in wide. (I don't usually wear wide shoes. ) They fit perfectly. It's hard to find leather soled shoes that aren't over $1,000. I'm hoping to wear these for years."

— Eileen M. (5/5)

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)
