Ballet flats with elastic straps - black fabric, Caren

The shoes have a medium-wide G last, which fits many, meaning a medium-wide or so-called normal width foot.

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 26.5 cm
• Width at the ball of the foot 11 cm

Maria's size choice for this model would be 42. The toe is shaped nicely round so that Maria's big toe can comfortably stay straight and the length is sufficient in size 42. Size 43 felt too big for Maria. Such comfortable, light, and lovely summer shoes!
