I’ve always been a flats kind of girl. In elementary school, you could catch me prancing around in my ruffled, gem-adorned Justice slip-ons. Not much has changed, except that I now opt for more sophisticated silhouettes, such as the M.Gemi Danza flat.

M.Gemi is the Italian brand known for its sustainable, artisanal, and small-batch footwear that’s worn by Gigi Hadid, Eva Longoria, Lucy Hale, Camila Cabello, Diane Kruger, Eiza González, and Gal Gadot. But it isn’t just reserved for A-listers; in fact, M.Gemi is making its styles more accessible by offering InStyle readers $60 off any purchase over $150 with the code INSTYLE60 until February 18 — just two more days. And as luck would have it, the iconic Danza flat is included in this limited-time promotion.

You’re not going to want to sleep on the luxe ballet slipper now that it’s discounted. Cost aside, it’s crawled to the top of my footwear roster thanks to its slim silhouette, spacious square toe, adorable bow, and padded sole — but there’s one detail that sets it apart: a hidden wedge heel.

In between layers of buttery, foot-conforming leather and a durable sole is a 20-millimeter wedge. It’s almost impossible to spot the lift, making the shoe look like a conventional ballet slipper (just see Zoe Saldaña’s pair for proof). This detail provides added support, while subtly boosting height — ideal for shorties like me.

The M.Gemi Danza Flat not only looks good, but it feels even better. I’ve commuted to work in the shoes, which includes trekking up and down stairs, catching a train, and walking on uneven NYC streets. The footwear has never given me blisters; in fact, it’s become my “emergency” shoe thanks to its foldable design that makes it easy to discreetly stash into a bag. Not to mention, the Danza flat is so easy to dress up or down. I’ve worn the versatile flat to family dinners, office days, church services, and more; simply mix and match it with jeans, cardigans, glitzy jewelry, skirts, and beyond.

Shoppers are just as impressed, with one calling them the “best pair of flats” they own — that’s no small feat. “[They have] truly amazing comfort that is unparalleled to other flats I own. There was no break in required with these; they are comfortable right out of the box,” they continued. Another reviewer claimed it only took “one wear” for the shoe to “mold to [their] feet,” while someone else dubbed it an “everything shoe.”
