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 woven leather will gradually soften and mold to your foot with wear. The adjustable strap offers added support and can be tailored for a more secure fit.

Since nappa leather is porous and absorbs water easily, avoid getting them wet. Getting the shoes soaking wet can irrevocably stain the leather.

Most quality shoe repair shops will offer products to polish, protect, and refresh the leather's surface. A neutral cream polish—one without color—will also help protect the surface from scuffs and scrapes and keep the leather hydrated. If something's spilled on the leather, try using a soft cloth with a small amount of cleanser or cream on it. Rub the surface in a circular motion, then allow the shoe to dry before buffing the entire thing lightly with a dry, clean cloth.

Reviews

Wore on my wedding dancefloor

"Great shoes! Bought a 10.5, usually wear an 11 - but run a little small. Unlike some of the leather ballet flats, don't scuff that much and tend to hold shape. Very comfortable - wore on my wedding dancefloor after I took off my heels."

— Morgan K. (5/5)

"I absolutely love these. They are so well-made and very comfortable. Color is the perfect shade of brown."

— Amy (5/5)

Beautiful summer flat

"I’m really happy with the Fonteyn Jane. The quality is amazing and the leather really soft on the skin. I usually wear a 43 but got the 43,5 in wide. Unfortunately they are a bit too big, so you can stay true to size. Be aware that you don’t have a lot of stability in the shoe. It’s comfortable and I would buy it again."

— Julia K. (5/5)

Flexible and comfortable

"These shoes fit my hard-to-fit feet and were comfortable out of the box. I have narrow heels and a medium front of foot. Size narrow worked because the shoes have some flex or stretch in the woven leather. They were padded enough that wearing for all day is no problem. So glad I purchased !"

— Laura C. (5/5)

Cute and comfy

"Love my suede “Mary Jane’s”! I have thin feet and this shoe is a perfect fit. I’m new to this brand, but I will be looking at their styles from now on."

— Gail T. (5/5)

Zero Blisters Walking Around NYC

"These are fabulous shoes and great transitional footwear to branch summer to fall. I walked all around NYC with them and never got a single blister. Will be buying again from Margaux."

— Lara B. (5/5)

First pair of Margaux shoes

"I love them! They fit perfectly and I could wear them right out of the box with very little “break in” required."

— Sheri L. (5/5)

Amazing Shoe

"I love this shoe and quality. I get hesitant about the high price, but they are extremely comfortable and the only shoes I can really wear in Europe or traveling that are comfortable and don't give blisters. They are worth the splurge."

— Alyssa R. (5/5)

Best shoes EVER

"I live in NYC and purchased multiple shoes from other brands only to return them due to poor quality or not being comfortable enough to run around the city in the summer- Margaux was worth every penny and I finally found a brand that still makes shoes with high quality materials that feel like butter on your feet! I purchased the 36. 5 wide and I definitely recommend wide if you have a wider foot. I am a true size 6. 5 US and typically a 37 European but since they had 36. 5 that was a much better fit! Love them and recommend them 10/10"

— Kendell K. (5/5)

Shoe great just not all colors

"Absolutely love this shoe! So cute and the most comfortable shoe I’ve owned in a while. I ordered it in the brown and loved it so this was my second color the ecru. The reason I knocked it down one star is the Ecru color was a miss and a return. Online it looks cute but in person it just looks like a dirty white. Everything else is great and I recommend just not this color."

— Brittnee N. (4/5)
