Margaux The Demi
When you want a shoe that’s both stylish and comfortable, you turn to Margaux. The brand’s take on the ballet flat features a classic silhouette with a grosgrain trim and dainty bow detail, as well as plush interior padding that feels like you’re walking on clouds. Mark our words: You’ll love these so much, you’ll want one in every color possible.
One reviewer raves: “I was having trouble find a good quality pair at a reasonable price. I ordered my first pair (classic black of course) and loved them so much I bought 5 more pairs in various colours. They are so comfortable, well made with good padding for support, and they really show off the elegant bones of the feet. I’m absolutely a Margaux girl now and already plan on eventually adding another half dozen pairs to my collection.”

One reviewer says: “I can wear these all day and not have my feet hurt more than if I’d worn sneakers. It’s actually unbelievable. Right after getting them I wore them 4 out of 7 days in NYC. No blisters ever. I followed reviews and bought a half size larger than usual and they fit perfectly. When they wear out one day I’ll need the exact same pair again.”

Rothys The Point II
Rothy gets top marks for their light-as-air shoes that also happen to be breathable, comfortable, and versatile. The brand’s beloved pointed-toe flats (Meghan Markle and Gwyneth Paltrow are fans!) recently got an update with a more spacious toebox, added elastic, sculpted outsoles, and an extra cushiony insole. But want to know what really takes the cake? They’re machine-washable. Game changer.
One reviewer writes: “I love Rothy’s anyway, but the Point II is terrific! The arch support and larger toe box make a comfortable shoe even better.”
