Very gold!
"I love wearing heels and ever since New Year's I've been searching for the perfect pair of foldable flats (not too expensive, not too cheap looking) - and these were it! They have a nice solid sole, and they come folded in a cute bag and a cute little shoe box. Takes a bit of effort to flatten them out, but I love them. They are very comfy. They do seem to run possibly a tiny bit short, but they fit me pretty snugly and I think they'll stretch after some wear. I wouldn't have wanted to go up a size and have them be too big. Only warning is that the gold is a true gold color, not as light as seen in the picture."

After all, it is not made for comfort...
"I needed a pair for plain silver flats for work, and perhaps, for traveling. I can tell you that this pair of shoes is not made for long walking. If you're currently wearing super uncomfortable heels and eager to get rid of them, this pair of flats can work wonders. However, if you're looking for a comfortable pair of flats for work, long standing, or long walking, this may not be a good option for you. After all, it was designed for traveling for its compact size. A little duster bag also comes with it."

Go to flats
"Just received this shoe so I cannot attest to the long hrs..comfort but they do seem so. I'd def recommend having them in your purse just incase those heels start hurting. They actually look more expensive than they are and I am going to give them a try soon."

Comfortable
"This is a very comfortable shoe. I love the fact that it has a carrying bag that I can toss in my purse when my footsies get tired of the heels. However, this shoe runs slightly short, I would suggest going up a size."

Über Comfy!
"I first bought the gold in a 7 and found them a little small but still super comfy and just had to get them in black (bought those I'm size 8) and they are perfect!!! I wear them with jeans and skirts and they look really cute! Very happy with my purchase :)"

Great idea
"I really like this idea. They come in a cute bag and box. They do seem to run a little small but they are meant to be compact and that they are!"

great value
"Ordered this online without trying it on first - very comfy despite the shoe being too short (I should have ordered a half size bigger). My toes touch the tip but the shoe is stretchy and flexible that I am still able to walk around comfortably. Great value and price!"

A Must-Have Backup and Great for Travelling
"Like any ballerina flat, these run a little short. They arived very squished in a bag and because the sole is actually rubber (which is a good thing) they were a little stiff. Once I slipped them on they flattened out in a couple of minutes and were lifesavers. These are a must have while are travelling (which is what I used them for) and i plan to buy a pair just to keep in the car."

Nice Flats
"These are a comfy flat. I ordered the gold and love the color. They definetly run short! I ordered up a half size and probably would have been more comfortable with a whole size larger although I think they will stretch out and be fine."

comfortable flats
"These are the most comfortable flats I have of this kind, the elastic doesn't dig into your foot as others commonly do. I haven't walked in them extensively, so I don't know how well they will hold up. I do wish they are real leather, but the fake leather is high quality. For the price, highly recommended."

Portable and Dressy
"Perfect pair for that airplane ride, dancing, or unplanned shopping excursions. Rubber sole looks durable and rounded toe is very stylish. Only complaint is the back of the heel sticks out further than the actual opening of the shoe. It feels a little tight but stretched out after walking around the house. Decided to keep these in my size for fear that sizing up would only exaggerate the heel problem. Comes with its very own matching bag at a Great Price!"

COMFY FLAT
"After reading some of the reviews about this comfortable flat, I had my doubts, however, I am so glad I went with my gut feeling!
Order them 1/2 size larger and you should be good to go! I wear an 8, had I ordered a 9 I would be sending them back I am certain. I ordered the 8 1/2 GOLD, now I am trying to find them in other colors! Love 'em!"

Great emergency shoe
"These are great ballet flats to keep in your purse. They come with their own pouch to protect your purse after wearing them, which gets a little bulky but worth it. I have these in two sizes 8.5 and 9.5 and honestly cannot tell a definitive difference between the two sizes as these run really short. Perfect for feet tired from heels though."

Cute, true ballet flat
"Very happy with this purchase and great price on DSW online. As the previous comments recommended, I ordered half a size larger than usual. This was a good idea for instant wear. I believe the shoes will continue to stretch, as they were pretty stiff when initially removed from the bag. They took a minute to get on my feet, but now that they are on, there is a little extra room at the heal. The upper portion of the shoe fits just like a ballet shoe, for all you dancers out there. It's snug around the toes and the top of the heal. I just wish it was a split-sole so that it hugged the bottom of the food also. However, the soles are surprisingly comfortable! No ballet shoe I've worn ever had this much cushion. The gold is pretty, but a slightly deeper color than shown online. The gold isn't too dark as to look tacky. A plus for all you animal friendly shoe buyers, the shoe appears to be vegan with "man made uppper, textile lining, and man made sole." Hooray for cute shoes without cruelty to animals!"
