Brief History of Tieks

Kfir Gavrieli founded Tieks in 2008 to create ballet flats that combined style with comfort and functionality. To achieve this goal, the classic, traditional ballet flats had to be reinvented due to their poor support and lack of comfort. The vision was beautiful a stylish shoe that fells good on the feet for all day comfort.

At Tieks, skilled artisans craft each pair by hand. The commitment to quality encompasses the materials used and every step of the production built the brand’s reputation of high standards.

Foldable Ballet Flats in High-Quality Leather and Excellent Craftsmanship

Each pair’s upper is made from a single piece of 100% premium, soft leather. The design permits stretching and molding to your feet for the perfect fit. The insole is also made of leather. The foam cushioning serves for comfort even when you wear them all day.

These foldable ballet flats feature split-sole non-skid rubber outsole patches in the brand’s signature color: Tiek Blue. The brown leather midsole allows the shoe to mold to the foot and flex while you walk for durability and comfort.

The interior of Tieks features a lining of soft leather. This lining provides an extra layer of comfort against the skin. It helps to wick away moisture, keeping your feet dry.

This blend of a thoughtful design and luxurious materials made Tieks a beloved footwear brand that conquer the very competitive ladies’ shoe market in no time.

A Stylish Comfort Solution that Won’t Break Your Look

Their ballerina design offers versatile options to style them. This means they are easy of use as office shoes to avoid sweating in your tall boots. The high quality and craftsmanship ensures the Tieks look appropriate even at formal events like weddings or balls. This means you don’t have to hide them or switch into them once the photos are taken and/or your feet start hurting due to your heels.

These luxury ballet flats look equally great with capri à la Brigit Bardot on vacation, or with your favorite jeans to hang out with friends on the weekend. Try them for date night with opaque tights and shorts.

They are a perfect balance of comfort, functionality, style, quality, and elegance. The ballet flats don’t take much space in your bag. Their shoes bag ensures your purse remains clean. Therefore, you can carry them with you to all venues where you expect to be on your feet for a long time.

Unlike many ballerinas the Tieks don’t show that awkward “gap” on the sides of the ball of foot when walking. Instead they remain in touch with your feet. Consequently, you walk with elegance like a ballerina.

Furthermore, the Tieks are easy to slip in and out making them a perfect travel footwear when flying.

Are Tieks True to Size?

Yes, they are true to the brand’s size guide. I ordered a US size 8 and it is a perfect fit. Note that Tieks stretch slightly over time, while molding to the unique shape of your feet. This personalized fit contributes to comfort. Consequently, these ballet flats became a go-to shoe for women for all kind of dressing situations.

Is Investing in a Pair of Tieks by Gavrieli Worth It?

Tieks offers a wide range of colors, prints, and patterns, allowing you to express your unique personality and effortlessly elevate any outfit. You can find-among others-floral, snake and leopard prints, plaid patterns, embossed lizard or crocodile like my obsidian black pair. Indulge in pastels, and all colors of the rainbow. Metallic versions come in the usual gold, silver, bronze, rose gold, pewter and steal plus in various fashion colors like metallic cars. There is a pair for every taste.

These flats aren’t just a fashion statement – they are an investment.

Tieks come in various price ranges from $185-$345 depending on the material, embellishment, etc.. The Obsidian Black pair shown here costs $195. Tieks for kids sizes start at $140.

Given my experience with shoes of this quality I expect them to last for two to three years with daily wear at work in winter, on vacation, air travel, and running errands in the warm season. This means the cost-per-wear will go below $1 over their tenure in my wardrobe.

This price-performance ratio is my criterion for a thumbs up.

Furthermore, Tieks has a reputation for excellent customer service and support. For instance, the brand offers fast complimentary shipping in the U.S. (2-4 days), and provides complimentary shipping on returns and exchanges to U.S. addresses. Note that Tieks also ships internationally to a variety of destinations, including to the European Union.

How to Care for Your Tieks Ballet Flats?

To keep your flats in pristine condition, clean them regularly. Wipe leather Tieks with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. If your shoes become muddy, for instance at an outdoor concert or in rain, a mild soap solution can help lift stubborn stains. Always let them dry naturally because direct sunlight or heat sources can cause cracks. If accidentally, your shoes came in contact with ink, you may check this ink removal tip.

Treatment with a quality leather conditioner every few months can maintain the natural oils in the leather. It keeps your Tieks soft and flexible, supple and prevents dryness. Note that regular conditioning is especially important in dry climate regions.

When not in use, store your footwear in a cool, dry place. Ideally, use the original box (see featured photo) or dust bag (watch the video) for protection from scuffs.

Caution: Stacking heavy items on top of your Tieks can cause them to lose their shape.
