Product description

No glitter, no crystal, no pattern. The Dior black ballerina relies on the last alone and on the quality of the leather, which is harder than relying on detail, because it leaves nothing to hide behind. The rest of the range sits in sandals and flats.

When there is nothing to hide behind

An ornamented shoe is forgiven a fault in its last, because the eye is occupied by the detail. A plain shoe is forgiven nothing, since every curve and every seam is exposed.

Which is why a maker's level is measured by simple pieces rather than decorated ones, and a plain black ballerina is an honest test.

What we noticed on inspection

The stitching around the opening is entirely concealed with no thread showing, an indication of a last that was built rather than assembled. We noticed the bow is formed from a single leather strip, and that the upper strap is partly elasticated so it holds the instep without pressing. The lambskin is soft from the first wear. Sizing runs true. The Swagyo WhatsApp concierge settles the size before ordering.

What it works with

With nearly everything, and with trousers, a dress, an abaya and a skirt. Anyone wanting the powder pink of the same last will find it within sandals and flats, or Dior bags to finish the look.

Frequently asked questions

Does lambskin scratch easily

It is softer than calf so more exposed to surface scratches, and in return it shapes around the foot faster.

Does the upper strap press

No, because it is partly elasticated and adapts to the height of the instep.

Is it suitable for a full day

Yes, the sole is flexible and the lining is leather.

Does it run true to size

Yes, and a wider foot should go up half a size.
