Women's ballet flats and pumps

Women's ballet flats and pumps: the Parisian collection, from flats to low heels

Women’s ballet flats and pumps share the same concept: a sleek shoe that reveals the instep and elongates the silhouette. Ballet flats are worn flat from morning to night, while pumps add a few centimeters for the office or special occasions. At Maison Toufet, each pair is designed in Paris and crafted in a workshop south of Porto.

Ballerina flats and Mary Janes: the flat shoes that stay on your feet

You can recognize a comfortable ballet flat by its slightly structured sole, small heel, and a toe box that stays in place without digging in: our article on comfortable ballet flats goes into detail about these criteria. Mary Janes, with their instep strap, provide even better support when walking. To style them, check out our guide on how to wear ballet flats.

High heels: the right height

Choosing the right pumps starts with the heel height and arch support. Low-heeled pumps can be worn all day long; black pumps remain the most versatile option; and cream and beige pumps elongate the leg, whether you’re at the office or a wedding.

For ceremonies

For a wedding, the shoes need to last the entire day. Our guide to wedding shoes and our guide to guest shoes provide guidelines on heel height, material, and sole type.

Shoes built to last

Maison Toufet has been designing its styles in Paris since 2015. The leather comes from Leather Working Group-certified tanneries in Spain, Italy, and Portugal, and the soles are made with 30% recycled material. Discover Maison Toufet and its craftsmanship.
