Ballet flats - black leather, Velcro strap

Beautiful ballerinas from Gabor! The stylish thin strap decorated with black beads is the highlight of this model! The strap has a Velcro fastener and keeps the shoes comfortably and securely on the foot. The good shock-absorbing Hovercraft sole is a bit thicker, and the insole is also nicely soft. So they feel comfortable on the feet! These, more than anything, are reliable shoes that suit many styles, with skirts, trousers, or even shorts!

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

It was a surprise for Maria that these shoes, marked as narrow F width, felt nicely snug in width for her in size 43. So they did not feel wide, but not narrow either. That is why the width definition is "F half," meaning something between a narrow F width and a medium G width. Size 42.5 also fit Maria’s foot, but her choice was size 43, which had a bit more width. Lovely and beautiful shoes!

Sanna the merchant’s narrow/medium-width feet – details:

• Not a high instep and not a low instep
• The toes form a gentle diagonal line – the tips go in "length order" 😊
• Usually wears size 40, sometimes 39 or 41 depending on the model
• Slightly narrow F width or medium G width
• Length of the longer foot 25.2 cm
• Width at the ball of the foot 9.8 cm

Sanna, on the other hand, was surprised when size 39 felt suitable in this model, both in length and width. Size 40 was too big for Sanna. Sanna’s problem with many models is her narrow heel, and the shoes tend to slip at the heel, as in this model. But the strap helped keep the ballerinas better on the foot. Sanna also liked the softness of the shoes, and they look so nice!
