The Pelops is a backless ballet flat with a sleek pointed toe and a low 1.5 cm heel — the kind of silhouette that works as hard on a Tuesday commute as it does on a Friday evening. It is handmade in Turkey and sized true to fit.
Prologue Shoes was founded on a single rule: first, do no harm. That means no leather, no animal-derived materials of any kind — not as a seasonal choice, but as a fixed design principle. The Pelops reflects that commitment in its construction: a synthetic leather upper, a textile lining, and a Neolite sole.

Prologue works with recycled materials across its wider collection — including recycled nylon, rubber, cork, and linings made from 100% post-consumer PET plastic bottles — and continues to explore new material innovations each season rather than settling on a fixed formula. The Pelops sits within that ongoing commitment.
Available in sizes 5.5 through 9.
About Our Brand Prologue Shoes
The footwear industry has traditionally faced challenges regarding environmental and ethical impacts, often relying on materials with significant costs. Prologue Shoes addresses this by offering a compelling alternative: stylish, high-quality footwear designed to minimise harm.
What truly sets Prologue Shoes apart is its unwavering commitment to being 100% vegan, a founding principle rather than a trend. The brand meticulously selects recycled materials, including nylon, rubber, and cork, and innovates with linings made entirely from 100% recycled post-consumer PET plastic bottles. Many of their uppers also utilise this recycled PET, transforming discarded plastic into durable, wearable shoes.
Beyond its core collection, Prologue Shoes extends its ethical approach to a niche market with its 'Forever & Always' sustainable bridal shoe line. This demonstrates a deep commitment to integrating environmental accountability across all product offerings, consistently exploring new material innovations each season to ensure ongoing improvement.
