Bow Ballerina Flat (Women)

This shoe is drop dead gorgeous. The leather is smooth and glossy, and the rhinestone encrusted bow with the iconic eagle head in the center is pitch perfect—solid, elegant, not too heavy, goes right up to the edge without going over the top. I bought the shoe in my usual 8.5 and it is just a smidge short. As is often the case for me with flats without an arch support, the shoe gaps at the mid foot and looks sloppy as a result. The shoe is impeccably well made and finished, it is just not built with the interior support or construction I would expect from a shoe in this price range. It’s an awkward mix up of great style, beautiful sewing and quality finishing on a fast fashion flat chassis. I love it so much overall that I’d give it a try in a 9 if they were still available, but as it stands this shoe, sadly, is going back.
