Everything worth knowing before your first pair — no surprises, no guesswork.

About the shoes

Crafted in Menorca since 1918

Every Pretty Ballerinas shoe is handmade in the same workshop the Mascaró family has operated on the Mediterranean island of Menorca for over a century. These are not fast-fashion shoes — they are designed to last, and the leather will mould gently to your foot with wear.

• Genuine leather on upper, lining and insole unless otherwise stated in the product description.
• Colours may vary slightly from screen to real life — we photograph every product true-to-life but device settings differ.
• Leather softens with wear but does not stretch significantly in length — sizing matters more than with synthetic shoes.
• Multiple photos per product show detail, finish and shape so you can see exactly what you're ordering.
