Monika Cap Toe Ballet Flat

I absolutely love the AGL ballet flats though I will share that the AGL as a whole runs small. This is my tenth or possibly twelfth pair over the past two years and with the exception of one pair, I had to buy all of my shoes in this line a full size up. I even had my foot measured at the store, and a measure a US size 9.5 which is the equivalent of 39.5 but had to go with the 40.5 (a 10.5!) in order for them to fit normally- but trust me... It is worth ordering the correct size! These shoes are amazing and they hold up better than any other shoe I have ever had. I am a consultant and travel full time. I get the flats for walking through the airport, traveling, and exploring places with the family. One of my first pairs easily went 1,000 miles of walking throughout the US, Mexico and Europe and did not show any signs of significant wear except for the inside of the shoe where my foot rubs in the heel. The color combination of the black patent and leather goes very well with anything you are wearing and are my default shoes. I do have this same style in just about every other color combination available. I had this shoe previously and after time you will need to polish the leather to keep it hydrated. If you don't want to dea with polish, there is a suede leather version of this shoe too. I cannot emphasize how comfortable these shoes are. I have spent the same price tag on other shoes which ended up only lasting about 30 days, so I have ended up coming back to and staying with AGL because of the quality (and classy style).
