These recently bought, (08/21/24!) ballerina flats with a slight, ridged platform are both the latest trend and a classic fashion staple. They were bought at one of my favorite boutiques on the Upper East Side of Manhattan that has been in the neighborhood for at least 20 years. These beautiful ballet flats are genuine patent leather and leather lined with a contemporary small platform ideal for walking on city Streets. I bought them to replace an older pair, However, they are best for a narrow foot. My foot is a medium width. These would be perfect for someone looking for a narrow shoe that is true to size. For a slightly wider fit, if you are in Manhattan, visit Andrea Carrano on the Upper East Side. They are made in Italy and have the low cleavage cut. They also have great boots.
