Marion Parke Olivia Ballet Flat, size 39.5 in Chestnut Brown

Absolutely gorgeous shoes by the iconic Marion Parke, a luxury artisan who just closed her business, so her shoes are a collectible item now. Beautifully handmade made in Italy and remarkably wearable, these flats are designed for comfort that lasts. Each pair features a twice-patented invisible insole, providing discrete support and a fit that molds to your foot over time. Rich supple chestnut colored leather with leather ties that secure the shoe at the instep. No sign of wear except on the soles.   I wore them only once. I have the original box and receipt. Size 39.5, which fits US 8.5/9. These are the most beautiful shoes I've ever owned. Alas, I have a freakishly high instep that misaligned with the tie.  Take them home and slide into something impossibly chic.
