What is a Ballet Flat?
The Ballet Flat carries a rare balance — elegant but practical. Understated, still, versatile. Its low heel and carefully shaped cut highlight the foot in a flattering way while allowing ease of movement. From casual denim to tailored trousers and evening-wear, ballet flats adapt naturally to the occasion and season.

The making of a MORJAS Ballet Flat
Our ballet flats are crafted in Elda, Spain — a historic town long celebrated for its women’s footwear. In this place, where knowledge has been passed down through generations, the Elda atelier brings precision and care to every pair.
The shoes are handcrafted using LWG-certified nappa leather and soft goat suede, combining durability with comfort. A leather outsole offers structure, while a cushioned insole supports long days on your feet. Each pair also comes with extra insoles, giving you the flexibility to find the fit that suits you best.

There’s no real difference between a ballerina and a ballet flat. The terms are often used interchangeably. In many countries, ballerina is simply another name for ballet flat. Both describe the same type of shoe: a low, slip-on style inspired by classic ballet slippers. At MORJAS, we use Ballet Flat to describe this silhouette, but whether you call them ballerinas or ballet flats, they refer to the same timeless shoe.
