Stuart Weitzman Taps Into the Ballet Flat Trend With New ‘Goldie’ Style

Stuart Weitzman has released its take on the ballet flat trend with an embellished twist.

The elegant “Goldie” ballet flat retails for $450 and is available in “adobe beige” and “black” colorways. The footwear comes in a range of women’s sizes and is made from plush all-around lacquered Nappa leather. The shoes feature key design elements, such as an elastic vamp strap that offers the wearer a stretchy fit with unique square toes.

Stuart Weitzman’s “Goldie” ballet flat additionally has an elasticized strap dotted with large pearls placed by Stuart Weitzman’s artisans in Spain, giving the footwear a dainty and sophisticated touch. The signature pearl detailing is akin to the same embellishments found on the footwear giant’s “Goldie” sneakers and sandals. The shoes are stacked atop short but supportive 0.2-inch heels that offer the wearer a little lift.
