The Look for Less: Repetto Leather Ballet Flats

Posted by
Dianna Baros

Repetto's classic ballet flats are known for their soft leather and flattering low profile. The pair shown here is $250 at Saks Fifth Avenue.


Gap has been carrying these genuine leather ballet flats for a couple seasons now and they are the best Repetto-inspired shoes I've seen on a budget. I own a pair and they are amazingly comfortable, especially after I added some gel insoles. Plus, they have that perfect ballet-flat look that's so hard to find. Get them for $39.95 in black, bronze, metallic silver or blue at Gap.com.

This is lifechanging for me! Heading to the Gap this weekend to pick up a pair...or two. ;-)

Like I said, you'll want to add insoles but it's worth it for the look. Low profile, lightweight, real leather, very gamine-chic :-)

A few weeks back, you posted another pair of similar black ballerinas from a site that was cheaper. I swear that name was something like ladybug or some other cute insect or animal. Does anyone by any chance remember what site this is? The price was about half of what Gap is charging. Thanks so much! :-)

Are you thinking of Lulus.com perhaps? I post so many shoes I can't recall which ones you are referring to specifically...need more clues! :-)
