Ballet flats - pink nubuck leather, bow decoration

Lovely ballerinas from Gabor! A beautiful and delicate model, in wonderful pink nubuck leather with a bow decoration. The bow decoration nicely combines nubuck leather and patent leather. The Hovercraft sole is comfortably a bit thicker, making them feel wonderfully soft on the foot. Beautiful ballerinas for everyday wear and celebrations!

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

Usually, size 43 with a Gabor shoe in G or H last fits Maria well. This ballerina model was a surprise! Size 42.5 fit Maria’s foot comfortably despite the rather narrow F last. Size 43 felt too roomy. Ballerinas should fit the foot just right, not too loose, as too roomy ones don’t stay on the foot. The rounded toe felt comfortable, though the width felt just a tiny bit tight at the little toe of the right foot. But the leather will surely give a bit in width. Lovely, soft, and beautiful shoes!
