Padding is read with a depth gauge on an uncompressed pair at two fixed points: the centre of the ball of the foot and the centre of the heel seat. Flex angle is the angle the forefoot reaches when the sole is bent by hand against a held heel and kept there for three seconds. Both are averaged over three pairs in size EU 38 and rounded to the nearest whole unit. The full method.

Try them on carpet indoors. A pair with outdoor wear on the sole cannot be returned. This does not affect your legal guarantee if the pair turns out to be faulty.

What this pair is

The taper sits beyond the end of the toes: 18 mm of empty last past the longest toe. Width across the ball of the foot is unchanged from the round last, so the point does not narrow where the foot is widest.

Padding reads 6 mm under the forefoot and 9 mm under the heel. Flex is 40 degrees.

Because the 18 mm of taper is added to overall shoe length, the pair looks longer on the foot than the Ballet Classic in the same size. The size chart on this page is measured to the same foot length either way.

Break-in

Two to three wears.

Care

Wipe with a dry cloth after wear. Use a neutral leather cream every eight to ten wears and let it absorb for twenty minutes before buffing. Dry away from direct heat. Full care guide.
