Ballerinas - red leather, Fenja

Lovely snappy red Josef Seibel ballerinas! Comfortably soft on the foot, simply stylish shoes for many occasions. The soles have a hint of thickness, not the thinnest. The leather on the heel comes up nicely high, which helps the open ballerina style stay on the foot. A fun detail especially for drivers to note, in this model the rubber on the sole at the back of the heel comes just slightly upwards, so the leather doesn't wear when the foot "rests" next to the car pedals. :) Wonderful shoes for many outfits and situations!

Maria the merchant’s medium-width feet – details:

• Not a high instep and not a low instep
• A “flipper” shape, meaning the toes are almost equally long, with no pronounced curve at the toe line 😊
• A slightly rounded toe box suits best; very pointed shapes often don’t have enough room for Maria’s big toe
• Usually wears size 43, with a medium-wide G last or a wide H last
• In barefoot shoes, typically size 42, because there’s enough room for the toes
• Length of the longer foot 26.8 cm
• Width at the ball of the foot 11 cm

Maria's foot felt roomy in size 43, and the shoes didn't stay on. Size 42, on the other hand, fit well and would be Maria's choice. In this model, the big toe line is nicely straight, and the width was enough for Maria's foot. That's why she can take size 42, of course the leather also stretches in width with use. Beautiful soft shoes!
