Women's Flats

Ballerina flats generally run true to length but feel tighter than a heel, because the topline sits low and there is no strap holding the foot back. If you are between sizes, take the smaller one in soft unlined leather, which stretches around half a size with wear, and the larger in patent, canvas or anything with a stiff toe box, which will not give. Pointed toes need about 1 cm of extra length beyond the longest toe.

The jute midsole is the weak point: it absorbs water and frays once wet, so keep espadrilles out of rain and never put them through a wash. Brush loose dirt from the braid with a dry stiff brush, spot-clean a canvas upper with a barely damp cloth and mild soap, and dry them away from direct heat, which shrinks jute. A clear rubber sole guard fitted before first wear roughly doubles the life of the base.
