A classic, reimagined. Named for American designer Claire McCardell who introduced ballet flats in the 1940s and empowered women by breaking fashion rules. The new Claire Ballet Flat pairs modern elements — a high vamp and metal hardware — with discreet details designed for superior comfort — an extra-padded footbed and rubber pods. A ruched heel adds a gentle grip, advancing the long-lasting wearability of our elegant flat. Crafted in partnership with a Leather Working Group-certified tannery, supporting high standards in leather manufacturing and chemical management
