Ballerine Tove Rift in pelle bordeaux

The ruched detailing gives these flats such a unique, almost sculptural look, and they somehow manage to stay comfortable even with that unexpected kitten heel. The pointed toe and bow are a lovely, elegant touch that dresses up even my most basic jeans.

That little kitten heel is the perfect compromise when I want to look put together but can't face real heels all day. The pointed toe with the bow makes my feet look longer, and the elastic collar hasn't rubbed once. Wore them straight out of the box for a nine-hour workday.

The ruched leather is buttery soft and the elasticated collar means they stay on without digging into my heels. I wore them for a full day of errands and the kitten heel gave just enough lift without any ache.
