Product description

This is not a ballerina but a slingback. The toe is pointed, the heel is open and held by a rear band embroidered with the house name, and this particular last is among the best known flats the house has made. The Dior J'Adior in black. The rest of the range sits in sandals and flats.

What distinguishes a slingback

A closed shoe encases the foot; a ballerina slips off at the back. A slingback solves both with a single rear band that holds without enclosing.

The pointed toe does visually what a heel does. It extends the line of the foot so it looks longer, without any actual height.

What we noticed on inspection

The rear band is partly elasticated rather than rigid, which is what lets it hold the heel without pressing on it. We noticed the ribbed fabric gives a texture that breaks the smooth black surface, so it reads neither glossy nor wholly matte. The toe is pointed but not painfully narrow. Sizing runs true. The Swagyo WhatsApp concierge settles the size before ordering.

What it works with

With straight trousers, a midi dress, an abaya and a suit. Anyone wanting a true ballerina with a bow will find one within sandals and flats, or Dior heels for an occasion that needs height.

Frequently asked questions

Is it a ballerina

No, it is a slingback. A ballerina is closed at the back; this is open with a band.

Does it slip off at the back

No, because the rear band is partly elasticated and holds the heel.

Is the pointed toe narrow

Pointed but not narrow, and a wider foot should go up half a size.

Is it suitable for a full day

Yes, it is flat and lined inside.
