Claire, Cap-Toe Ballet - a classic, reimagined, named for American designer Claire McCardell who introduced ballet flats in the 1940s and empowered women by breaking fashion rules. The Claire Ballet Flat pairs modern elements — a high vamp, metal hardware and contrasting cap toe — with discreet details designed for superior comfort — an extra-padded footbed and rubber pods. A ruched heel adds a gentle grip, advancing the long-lasting wearability of our elegant flat.
