Every Trendy New Yorker Sports This Indie Footwear Label—Discover Its Top Styles

      Finding a shoe brand you can truly trust is unexpectedly uncommon, and I tend to be quite selective. I have wide feet, do a lot of walking in New York City, and I won’t compromise on comfort just for the sake of style. Thus, when I discover a brand that consistently meets my expectations, I stick with it. This is exactly how I feel about Margaux.

      What began with a single pair of Demi ballet flats I purchased in 2024 has blossomed into a full-blown obsession. I now have six pairs of Margaux flats, which makes me, I admit, a big fan of the Demi style. Over the years, these flats have become my go-to for various occasions, whether I’m heading to work, walking my dog, traveling, or dressing up for an event.

      Founded in 2015 by friends Alexa Buckley and Sarah Pierson, Margaux was inspired by a straightforward idea: women should not have to choose between stylish shoes and comfortable ones. Each pair is designed in New York and handcrafted by artisans in a family-owned factory in Spain, using premium Italian leather and thoughtfully constructed for everyday wear, complete with plush foam footbeds and a wide size range that includes three widths. This combination of exceptional craftsmanship and wearable design has attracted a loyal following from both fashion editors and New Yorkers, including myself.

      Having spent years wearing their shoes on countless adventures and navigating the city's not-so-glamorous sidewalks, I see why so many appreciate the brand. I’m here to share this knowledge with you. Below, I’ll detail the Margaux styles I own, wear frequently, and truly believe are worth the investment.

      **Style: The Deia**

      *Size Range:* Women's 3.5 to 14. Available in narrow, medium, and wide widths.

      *Colors:* Black Nappa, Espresso Woven, Saddle Woven, Python Woven, and Black Woven.

      *My review:* I’m a big fan of sandals. Whenever the temperature reaches at least 70°F, I grab a pair of flip-flops to start my day. Recently, I've been leaning towards more refined styles that can easily transition from office wear to dog walking in the morning. Finding the perfect pair of elegant summer sandals was a long journey, but I finally discovered them. The Deia has easily become my favorite summer sandal this year, as I've packed it for nearly every warm weather trip. Despite my concerns about the wide strap, the soft woven leather has adapted comfortably to my feet after a few months of wear.

      **Style: The Demi**

      *Size Range:* Women's 3.5 to 14. Available in narrow, medium, and wide widths.

      *Colors:* Black Nappa, Denim Suede, Zebra Haircalf, Blue Nappa, and Ecru Woven, among others.

      *My review:* The Demi ballet flats were the catalyst for my Margaux obsession years back. I’ve owned four pairs, each contributing something unique to my wardrobe. I rely on them heavily, wearing them effortlessly with white tees, my favorite jeans, capris, linen maxi skirts, and even cheetah-print slip dresses. What I appreciate most about the Demi is its simplicity. They are just beautifully made ballet flats. The size range really attracted me since I have wide feet, and thankfully, they’ve maintained their commitment to comfort for everyone. With three widths and sizes from US 3.5 to 14, I firmly believe that Margaux Demi ballet flats are the best and most versatile flats you can own.

      **Style: The Pascale**

      *Size Range:* Women's 3.5 to 14. Available in narrow, medium, and wide widths.

      *Colors:* Espresso Suede, Bone Nappa, Cognac Nappa, and Black Nappa, among others.

      *My review:* I exclusively wear ballet flats, and it takes a lot for me to reach for heels. While Margaux has some stunning heel options, my preference is for comfort and style, which led me to look more into their flats. During the spring/summer 2026 preview event where new styles were introduced, the Pascale immediately caught my attention. Similar to the Demi flats, this design features a rounded toe box, but it also has a scrunched back and a low-profile silhouette, giving it a more fashion-forward look than traditional ballet flats with a bow. It leans more towards the styles of The Row rather than Carel. I have only owned leather shoes from Margaux, so trying the suede options was a new experience for me. The espresso color is my favorite and the most versatile, although I admit that wearing them during a summer downpour in New York City wasn't my best decision. While they aren’t as weather-resistant as some of Margaux's other offerings, the Pascale in suede is definitely the most stylish choice on my list.
