For your consideration: this is a dearly preloved pair of Matte Black Ballet Flats in size 9 from Tieks by Gavrieli. As chic and classic as the iconic little black dress, Matte Black Tieks are a wardrobe essential. Evoking the sophisticated elegance of Jackie O. and Audrey Hepburn, these little black flats are effortlessly versatile, elevating every ensemble with Tieks’ timeless silhouette. Our Matte Black ballet flats are crafted with exquisite full-grain Italian leather, giving them a soft, luxurious feel.**100% premium, soft, full-grain leather ballet flats**Non-elasticized, cushioned back**Non-skid rubber soles and comfortable cushioned insoles**Foldable/PackableThese were my first pair of Tieks and they were well loved. I even washed them once and they were fine, although a little snug. I did not stretch them out again and would suggest that if you know you wear a 9, that these may fit better if you wear an 8 in other brands. I am a true 8.5 in everything else but a 9 in Tieks. As these are well worn and one shoe especially has some of the non-skid rubber sole worn down, I figured these may be good as an extra pair, for someone looking to find out more about the brand, or as a rehab pair to make something fabulous, and therefore, I have priced them accordingly. Please ask any questions and thank you for looking. Coming from a nonsmoking home and arriving in their original box with the pink flower bow and the bag and storage bag too.
