Strappy ballet flats: elegant and timeless
Born from the Saudade collection, our strapped ballet flats pay tribute to an icon of women's wardrobe. Inspired by the world of dance, ballet flats first appeared in the 18th century before stepping off the stage to conquer the streets.
At Zèta, we wanted to reinvent this iconic piece in our own way: with consciousness and modernity. These vegan ballet flats, inspired by the babies femme of the past, retain the delicacy of their lines, but crafted from sustainable materials.
Handcrafted in Portugal, they are made from upcycled materials such as oleatex, a premium vegan material derived from olives.
Black ballet flats or a more detailed style, they adapt to every look and establish themselves as an everyday essential.
Designed for comfort
At Zèta, comfort is part of the DNA of every creation.
Our women's ballet flats were designed to follow your every step, from morning to night.
The recycled foam insole provides gentle cushioning, while the strap ensures optimal foot support.
We chose an olive-based material — a supple and resilient fabric recognised for its comfort and long-lasting durability. Before launch, every prototype is tested and validated at the CTCP (Centre Technologique de la Chaussure in Portugal) for comfort and durability. They are then worn by our team and members of the Zèta club in real-life conditions, to ensure the feel is perfect.
Light and durable, they were designed to last and adapt to your everyday life. They don't follow trends: they simply stand the test of time.

Whether flat, strappy, or black, they suit every desire and every silhouette. With a skirt, shorts, or even raw denim jeans, the possibilities are endless. You can also pair them with white socks or tights for a more statement look.
Which style to choose?
Strappy ballet flats, inspired by babies, are the standout trend of the year: they add a retro, feminine touch that beautifully frames the ankle. Some styles come in heeled versions, metallic finishes, or even a cow print.
