Overview: the leather ballet flat with a pointed toe and a gold heel
The Martinelli Vescia is a women's ballet flat in dark brown leather with a very clear approach: a clean line, a pointed toe and a small gold heel that sets it apart. It is a shoe made for anyone looking for a ballet flat more elegant than usual, comfortable and easy to match.
It suits anyone who needs an everyday flat that works as well for the office as for a lunch. It is neither a technical shoe nor a party shoe, but a sober ballet flat with a touch of shine.
Design and style: wide opening and gold heart
The design rests on a smooth, clean leather, a wide opening that lengthens the instep, a pointed toe that slims the foot and a small gold heart brand emblem at the back of the heel. It has no other decoration.
The heel, low, wide and covered with a metallic gold finish, is the element that gives character. It lifts the foot slightly and adds a modern contrast with the dark brown tone.
Materials and finish
The outer is smooth-finish leather, a natural material that adapts to the foot with wear, keeps its shape and is easy to clean. The stitching is discreet and regular.
The sole is thin and flexible, with a low profile. The metallic heel should be protected from knocks and scuffs so that it keeps its shine.
Everyday comfort
The comfort of these ballet flats rests on a very low, wide heel, a flexible sole and a soft leather that adapts to the foot. The wide opening makes them easy to put on.
The pointed toe leaves less room for the toes than a round toe, so it is worth trying them on with the tights or socks you will wear and, if you have a wide foot, choosing half a size up.
Pointed toe and low heel
The pointed toe is the aesthetic feature of the model: it slims the foot and gives an elegant air. The heel of just over a centimetre adds stability and a touch of height without giving up the comfort of a flat shoe.
It is a suitable shoe for walking during the day, both around the city and at the office.
For which occasions
These are ballet flats for city life, the office, lunches, travel and the weekend. Their sober look makes them equally natural with jeans or a dress.
They are not waterproof. In rain or on wet ground, it is better to choose another shoe, as the leather and the metallic heel are damaged by water.
How to wear them
With straight or wide-leg jeans, the ballet flat adds a polished touch. With a midi skirt or a dress it looks very feminine, and with tailored trousers it looks elegant. Dark brown goes with beige, cream, olive green, navy and burgundy.
On top, knitted jumpers, jackets, wool coats and trench coats all work. For a complete look, match the ballet flats with a bag in a similar tone.
Our opinion at Calzados Vesga
Our verdict is very positive: it is an elegant, well-resolved ballet flat, with a good-quality leather and a gold heel that sets it apart without overloading it. It delivers what it promises as an everyday flat shoe.
For anyone who wants a sober ballet flat with a touch of shine, dark brown is a warmer choice than black.
Size guide and fit
The model comes in EU sizes 37, 38, 39 and 40. The last is narrow, with a pointed toe. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger, especially with a wide foot.
To measure, stand with your heel against a wall, measure to your longest toe and leave 5 to 10 mm of room. That space stops the toes touching the end and lets the foot swell during the day.
Care and cleaning
Smooth leather needs simple care. Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust and apply a colourless or brown cream from time to time to keep it flexible and keep its colour. If they get wet, let them dry at room temperature, away from radiators and heaters.
Do not machine-wash the ballet flats or submerge them. Clean the gold heel with a soft, dry cloth. Store them with paper inside so they keep their shape.
Before you decide
They may not be what you want if you need a waterproof shoe, one with a lot of toe room or one with a lot of cushioning. They are not ideal for long walks either.
They are perfect if you want a sober, elegant leather ballet flat with a small gold heel for everyday use.
