The classic round toe ballet flat. Made by hand with buttery-soft black calf vegetable leather that naturally molds to your foot, the ROMA is equal parts effortless and timeless with its low-profile construction and leather lining for all-day comfort. Both dressy and functional, we love this style with jeans and a blazer or baggy trousers.

Our shoes are made from the highest quality leather which will last season after season. Leather is a natural material and will give with wear.

  • 100% Italian leather in black vegetable calf. This tannery is a Leather Working Group Silver and leather contains no PFAs. Leather Working Group is a tool to evaluate the environmental performance of leather goods manufacturers.
  • 100% Spanish leather lined. This tannery is a Leather Working Group Approved Trader and leather contains no PFAs.
  • 0.25" rubber heel and sueded leather sole
  • In an effort to be less wasteful and keep your shoes looking good, we applied a thin film to the sole. Please remove and recycle prior to making these yours. If you plan to return, please ensure film is in tact. 

The soft nature of this material should make for a seamless fit right out of the box.

  • Fitting true to size

Vegetable tanning is a traditional process where the cowhide is treated with plant-based tannins, so it develops a patina over time. This means shoes made in this very natural leather will develop a beautifully aged look. Keep in mind that the surface of the leather is not treated with chemicals or finishes so there may be minor variations to the leather that define their uniqueness.


To clean, use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dirt. You can apply neutral, non-lanolin wax to revive and restore leather. Do not use any leather soaps, cleaners, or conditioners with lanolin. When not in use, store your shoes in a box or dust bag. We recommend cleaning periodically or as needed to keep your FRĒDAs looking brand new.

The ROMA is handmade at our family-owned factory in the traditional footwear town of Elda, Spain. Our leather is sourced from the finest tanneries across Italy. Each upper is cut, sewn and lasted by Spanish artisans who are experts in their craft.

    So perfect….

    Fits like an elegant glove for my foot. Comfortable to walk for hours on the streets of NYC, and I’m 70 years young for your reference. Loved ‘em so much, I bought them on black, too! Very flattering! True to size.

    Stylish flats!

    I bought these in the dark brown shade and love them. They’re very cute and versatile to style. The quality is great and I love the woven texture. 👌🏼

    I will say though, they have given me blisters on the back of my ankles. So, I think I need to wear them around the house with some socks for a while to soften them up a bit.

    Best flats

    I'm not usually a fan of flats, but bought these after reading reviews, and they haven't disappointed. Soft and comfortable. I'm between a 7.5 and 8 and bought the 7.5. After having them stretched a bit, they fit perfectly!

    If you're on the fence, size up

    I'm usually an 8.5 in most shoes, with a wider forefoot but narrow heel. This makes it hard to find flats that fit well, so I had to do a lot of exchanges to figure out the best size for me. I ended up sizing up to a 9 for the Romas for length. They are a hair more comfortable in the toe box than the Jadas because of the rounded shape, but not by too much.

    Currently, my heels don't really slip and hope they stay that way after the shoes break in more, but from what customer service told me, the stretch is mostly the width. My guess is also that the heels are made so they angle in slightly so that they stay better than normal flats, which is why you def want to make sure the collar doesn't dig into your heels from the get go.

    Also, from my experience, the lighter colors (like the natural) fit ever so slightly larger/more relaxed than the darker colors. — the Umber color is absolutely beautiful and very much true to life and identifiable as brown (vs being too dark).
