Product Insights
The Mini-Heel Leather Ballet Flats by Simons offer a 0.75-inch heel that reduces Achilles strain and supports the arch, paired with a flat cushioned leather insole that accepts orthotics. True to size with a snug fit for narrow to medium feet, the genuine leather upper and lining breathe naturally and mold over time. At $169 CAD, they undercut premium competitors who use polyurethane. The main tradeoff is the leather outsole, which wears quickly on pavement; a rubber heel grip improves traction, but a sole guard is recommended for outdoor durability, positioning these flats between synthetic and full-leather options.
Verified claims
- Heel advantage
- 0.75-inch heel reduces Achilles strain and supports the arch; the cushioned leather insole is flat.
- Fit
- True to size with a snug fit; best for narrow to medium feet.
- Neutral tone
- Brown flats add a warm, refined touch to denim and tailored trousers, making the brown colorway feel current rather than retro.
- Outfit formula
- Pairs with straight-leg jeans and an oatmeal- or khaki-hued knit.
- Heel height
- 0.75-inch heel creates a clean line with cropped trousers and midi skirts.
- Styling
- Snake print is a neutral that works for office with tailored pieces.
- Price value
- At $169 CAD, undercuts premium competitors by $40-60.
- Outsole
- Leather outsole with rubber heel grip improves traction; sole guard recommended for outdoor wear.
- Break-in
- Leather upper and lining mold to foot shape over several wears.
- Arch support
- Mild arch support from the 0.75-inch heel, flat insole accepts orthotics.
- Breathability
- Genuine leather upper and lining breathe naturally, keeping feet drier than synthetic linings.
- Sole durability
- Leather outsole wears quickly on pavement; add a rubber sole guard for outdoor use.
- Drying
- Room-temperature drying prevents cracking; avoid heat sources.
- Cleaning
- For smooth leather: damp cloth and mild soap. For embossed snake: soft damp cloth only.
- Outdoor wear
- Leather sole wears on pavement; rubber heel protects heel but forefoot vulnerable.
- Positioning
- The leather sole with rubber heel grip gives partial outdoor protection, balancing polished dress-flat form with urban pavement traction.
- Leather grade
- Genuine leather upper and lining, real but not full-grain; competitors at $169 use polyurethane.
- Long-day arch support
- The 0.75-inch heel provides a protective effect similar to a 1-inch lift, curbing overpronation that can lead to arch pain and plantar fasciitis over a long day.
- Insole conformation
- The cushioned leather insole compresses and molds to the wearer's foot over repeated use, producing a semi-custom footbed that enhances heel stability and reduces midday fatigue.
- Snake finish
- The snakeskin pattern on the snake variant is embossed into the genuine leather, not printed on the surface.
- Leather cleaning
- For deeper cleaning of the smooth leather, saddle soap is safe to use after wiping with a soft damp cloth and mild soap.

Compared within this brand.
| Mini-Heel Leather Ballet Flats: Choose these flats if you want a Simons-exclusive, Canadian-designed pointed-toe ballet flat with a subtle 0.75 inch (2 cm) block heel and a glossy snakeskin-print leather upper. They suit shoppers who prefer full leather inside and out at the foot, with a genuine leather lining and cushioned leather insole, offered in sizes 36 to 41 in Brown and Snake colors. Note that the outer sole is a smooth material of unspecified type with anti-slip rubber only at the heel, so grip away from the heel is not stated.[1,2,3] | Glossy Toe Bow Ballet Flats: Choose these flats if you want a Simons-exclusive style, designed in Canada, with a classic ballet-flat look: a matte textured upper in a blend of genuine and faux leathers, a glossy patent toe cap, and a thin cord bow with gold-toned aglets. They suit everyday wear with a padded footbed, unlined interior that the retailer says adds flexibility, and a smooth outsole with non-slip rubber inserts. Note the upper is only partially genuine leather, and the lining and sock combine synthetic and leather materials, so they are not a full-leather shoe.[4,5,6] | Patent Leather Kitten Heel Pumps Made In Portugal Women: Choose this if you want a Simons-exclusive pump designed in Canada and made in Portugal, with a genuine leather glossy patent upper, a pointed toe, and a low 1.5-inch (4 cm) kitten heel for a classic low-heeled silhouette. The cushioned faux-leather footbed and slight texture on the outsole add everyday comfort, and it comes in Ivory/Cream Beige or Brown in sizes 36 to 41. Note that while the upper is leather, the lining and sock are synthetic and the outer sole material is unspecified, which matters if you prefer all-leather construction.[7] |
