Ballerinas with an elastic strap - black leather, Fenja

Stylish completely black Josef Seibel ballerinas! Comfortably soft on the foot, great shoes for many occasions. The elastic strap running over the instep is not only good-looking but also keeps the shoes nicely secure on the foot. The soles have a bit of thickness, not the thinnest. The leather in the heel comes up nicely high, which helps keep the open ballerina model 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. :) Lovely 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 fit well in size 42, but the width felt slightly too tight. In this model, the big toe line is nicely straight, the big toes did not turn in the smaller size. Maria would choose size 43, it felt really comfortable, even though the length was perhaps a little too much. The wide elastic strap, however, keeps the shoes firmly on the foot, and the heel did not lift even in the bigger size. Beautiful soft shoes!
