From JCrew: "Prepare to be charmed out of your heels: We've stepped up the design of our much-loved ballet flats, with new details including a cushioned insole for maximum comfort. Plus, we removed the shank, making them supremely flexible (talk about raising the barre). Two crossed straps at the toe and antiqued metal buckles furnish our newest flat with the perfect combination of luxe comfort and polished panache. Italian leather upper. Man-made lining and sole. Made in Italy. Catalog/jcrew.com only." Available in black (pictured) and warm taupe.
