Collection: Ballet flats

Strap ballet flats: elegant and timeless

Born from the Saudade collection, our strap ballet flats pay tribute to an icon of women's fashion. Inspired by the world of dance, ballet flats first appeared in the 18th century before leaving the stage to conquer the pavements.

At Zèta, we wanted to reinvent this iconic piece in our own way: with conscience and modernity. These vegan ballet flats, inspired by the babies femme of the past, preserve the delicacy of their lines, but with sustainable materials.

Handcrafted in Portugal, they are made from upcycled materials such as oleatex, a premium vegan material crafted from olives.

Whether black or a more detailed design, they adapt to every style and stand 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 accompany your every step, from morning to evening.

The recycled foam insole provides gentle cushioning, while the strap ensures optimal foot support.

We chose an olive-based material — supple and resistant, recognised for its comfort and long-lasting durability. Before their launch, each prototype goes through the CTCP (Centro Tecnológico do Calçado de Portugal) to be tested and validated for comfort and durability. They are then worn by our team and the members of the Zèta club in real conditions, to ensure the feel is perfect.

Light and durable, they are designed to last and adapt to your everyday life. They do not follow trends: they simply stand the test of time.

Your questions about ballet flats

Why wear ballet flats?

Because they combine comfort and elegance in everyday wear. Women's ballet flats slip on easily, can be worn all year round and suit every style. Timeless and lightweight, they are a natural alternative to trainers or heels, in spring as in autumn. For more unisex styles, discover our collection of comfortable loafers and derbies.

How to wear them every day?

Whether flat, with straps or in black, they adapt to every desire and every silhouette. With a skirt, shorts or even raw denim, the possibilities are endless. You can also pair them with white socks or tights for a bolder style.

Which model to choose?

Strap ballet flats, inspired by babies, are the standout trend of the year: they add a retro, feminine touch that beautifully highlights the ankle. Some models are available with heels, in metallic finishes or even in cow print.

The key is to choose a comfortable pair that you will enjoy wearing every day.
