Patent upper with a high-shine finish that catches the light as you move - the kind of surface that makes even a simple flat look considered. Single strap across the instep with a gold-tone buckle fastening, giving a Mary Jane silhouette that sits neatly without overwhelming the foot. Pointed toe that elongates the leg - sharper than a classic ballet round toe, but still comfortable enough for all-day wear. Flat heel between 0-2cm, so the sole sits almost flush to the ground - practical without compromising the overall look. Wide fit construction for a more generous toe box, designed to accommodate wider feet without sacrificing shape or style. A ballet flat that actually has something to say. The Mary Jane strap lifts this well beyond the everyday slip-on - it gives structure to the shoe and a deliberate, dressed-up quality that works just as hard at a birthday dinner as it does on a Saturday afternoon in the city. Wear them with a midi skirt and a fitted knit for a put-together look that doesn't try too hard, or pair with straight-leg jeans and a tailored blazer when you want something that reads smart without the effort of a heel. The patent finish means they hold their own against more dressed-up pieces - a satin slip dress or a velvet co-ord both make strong companions. For those who find standard-width flats pinch by midday, the wide fit changes everything: the shape stays sleek from the outside, but there's actually room to breathe.
