How to wear ballet flats
Here are five ways you can incorporate ballet flats into your everyday looks.

2. Workplace elegance
Pair sleek black flats with a pencil skirt or tailored trousers to complement your professional wardrobe.

How should ballet flats fit?
Your toes should have some room to move – aim for about a finger’s width between the longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should fit snugly without lifting when you walk, while the sides gently hug your feet. Our dual fit removable insoles provide customizable width for a wider fit and roomier toe area – your feet will thank you.
