Why it's worth it
Braided laces that tie at the ankle like a ballerina who walks everywhere.
The Edit
Handcrafted in Portugal, this Italian suede low-top sits flat to the ground on a gum outsole with a fine sawtooth edge. Scalloped overlay seaming at the vamp adds a dainty construction detail, while the cushioned leather footbed and pull tab at the heel prioritize all-day wearability. The braided laces can be laced standard or wrapped ballet-style at the ankle.
Insider Tip
Comes with two lace sets — the longer pair is for the ballet ankle wrap, so don't lose it.

The cheetah print on calf hair means the texture and the pattern move together — no flat-printed substitute.
