Ballet flats with ankle strap - cognac brown leather, Fenja

Lovely Josef Seibel ballerinas! Comfortably soft on the feet, simply stylish shoes for many occasions. The elastic strap across the instep is not only good-looking but also keeps the shoes nicely secure on the feet. The soles have a bit 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 out when the foot "rests" next to the car pedals. :) Beautiful 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

Size 42 slipped on well on Maria’s foot but felt a bit too tight in width. In this model, the big toe line is nicely straight, and the big toes did not turn in the smaller size. Maria would choose size 43, which felt very comfortable, even though the length was perhaps a little too much. The wide elastic strap still keeps the shoes firmly on the feet, and the heel did not lift even in the larger size. Beautiful soft shoes!
