HELENE is a simple, sophisticated version of a ballet flat that's, well, not flat. An asymmetrical buckle detail adds a modern twist, while supple Italian nappa leather gives gives this slip-on an ethereal slipper-like feel. The toe shape is the perfect balance between square and round.

  • 20mm (3/4") exterior heel, 40mm (1-1/2") actual height
  • Extra room in the toe box
  • Memory foam achilles pad cushions and cradles the heel
  • Suede heel cover minimizes abrasive movement
  • Hand made with care in Italy. Designed at home in Park City, Utah
FIT NOTES

“I wore my new shoes all day and they were great. Breaking them in on a 10K step day with no blisters and legs/feet feeling good at the end of the day was awesome!"

– Kristen T., Senior Vice President at Delta Air Lines

“It took a tremendous amount of trust to wear my shoes for the first time on a big day when I needed to be at peak performance -- and without a spare pair. 16 hours and 16k steps later, my feet were blister-free and felt great. That trust was well placed.”

– Jennie H., VP Inflight Service

“I'm often running all over the city -- dropping off and picking up kids, heading to work appointments and generally on my feet for a full 12 hours. When I wear my TFRs, I feel supported by my shoes the entire day (and well into the evening).”

– Olivia M., Managing Director at SOAR Media
