Josef Seibel Pippa Ballet Flat, perforated cognac leather

These pristine flats, with their pillowy-soft insoles, soft leather uppers, and nonslip rubber soles, are the perfect travel shoe. (I wore a different pair of Pippas all over France, walking miles each day, with nary a blister.) The perforations offer visual interest and nice ventilation. Euro sizing; I wear a 6.5 in American shoes and take a 37 in the Pippa.
