Flate leather dark brown with black straps

Sangiorgio women's ballet flat in dark brown leather with three glossy black leather straps and gold-colored buckles. The ballet flat is the low-cut, almost heel-less shoe born from dance slippers. Here the upper is in smooth, soft leather that follows the shape of the foot and creases slightly at the sides with movement. The toe is rounded and slightly squared. The contrast lies entirely in the straps: the glossy black stands out against the matte brown of the upper, and the gold-toned metal buckles echo the sheen of the leather. Of the three straps, the first crosses the instep and fastens with a rectangular buckle on the outer side, as in a mary jane. It is adjustable and, along its entire length, carries a row of gold-toned metal eyelets. The other two run parallel across the front of the upper, each with its own buckle. They are decorative and repeat the motif of the first, but closer to the toe. Together they give the ballet flat a more graphic look, somewhere between dance shoe and equestrian wear. Inside, the lining is in leather and the insole is in tan-colored leather, stamped with the brand and the words Made in Italy. A low-cut shoe like the ballet flat is often worn without socks: leather in contact with the foot absorbs moisture better than a synthetic lining. The sole is in thin rubber, with fine ridges across the entire footbed that provide grip without weighing down the shoe's silhouette. The strap over the instep keeps the heel secure in the fit, something that in strapless ballet flats depends solely on the shape of the cut. The strappy ballet flat works with straight or cropped skinny jeans, midi skirts in wool or leather, and opaque black or brown tights that continue the color of the upper. The gold buckles are already the accessory: it's best to pair them with metals of the same warm tone. Women's ballet flat, dark brown and black color. Upper in smooth leather.
