Repetto was high on the Paris shopping list, since I had never seen the store, famous for ballet staples since 1947. I have dreamed of putting a pair on my feet for years! I only dabbled in ballet when I was younger, so I never had a need for serious slippers, but I've always admired their beauty and tradition. I love the Bolchoi flat, offered in a rainbow of colors! Le sigh…
Which color did you get? Apparently you invariably need to resole them because they’re so thin but after that, they last forever!
I think it’s called graphite…a very dark, slightly metallic gray. Just a slight twist on classic black, which I had planned on. They are so comfortable! I had not heard about the sole issue, thanks…but for this comfort I’ll deal with that. :)
Someday, I’ll have a pair of Repetto flats. Or maybe ten- they’re so perfect, and the store looks positively magical!
