Named after Pina Bausch, a German dancer and choreographer, the Pina Ballet Shoe begins our exploration of ballet shoes, and is the perfect substitute for sneakers as we shift into sharper dressing. Giving the ballet shoes feeling and flexibility a radical modern edge, we have designed Pina with a square toe and pleated vamp. This shoe brings a touch of grace to every outfit.

[accordion][accordion-title]CONSTRUCTION[accordion-title][accordion-content]The Pina Ballet Shoe is all about comfort and grace. Crafted from supple silver leather, the gentle shine is grounded by a variegated EVA rubber outsole for longevity and a modern silhouette. The insole is fabricated from the softest sheep leather and loads of 4mm EVA memory foam to offer comfort and dance like flexibility. The topline elastic pull lace can be adjusted to hug the arch of the foot. We think you’ll also dig the cheeky black grosgrain and rubber embossed R.YES on the rear.

• Leather upper | leather Lining / EVA outsole

• Unstructured counter means no pesky blisters

• Made responsibly in small batches by one of our title="Our Factory Partner" href=" target="_blank">boutique manufacturing partners in China

[accordion][accordion-title]STYLING[accordion-title][accordion-content]We created the Pina Ballet Shoe with modern silhouettes, modern proportions and man style shirts in mind. These versatile shoes are as graceful with tailored pants for the workday as they are with contrasting denims and a trench for the weekend. They also pair back with any cropped style perfectly!. Wear Pina as you would a dress trainer, they offer the same comfort, but feel sharp in execution. Or you could leave them by the front door and make them your (most elevated) errand shoe ever!
