When it comes to ballerinas shoes, one brand is well-known all over the world -Salvatore Ferragamo. The biggest point that makes these shoes success is because of Audrey Hepburn. Mr. Ferragamo designed the classic Hepburn shoes in 1954 for her. You may ask what are the difference between Hepburn shoes and the other ones? Well, these shoes use Opanca soles, which is the patent of Salvatore Ferragamo. Opanca was inspired by Indian's buckskin soft shoes Opanke. This sole of the shoes can cover the heel and is integrated with the body of the shoes, which can fit the shape of the foot and wear it comfortably.
