"I needed a pair of ballet flats for work because my high heels were damaging my feet. I've worn Bandolino heels in the past (currently own 4 pairs) and I think they are great, comfortable shoes. These are the first flats I bought and they have a basic comfort to them. I wore them on the train, walked 1/2 mile and stood for the next 2 hours the first time I wore them. They were a bit sore bc they don't really have much cushion. The toe adds a cute little burst of flare too. If I had a wide foot, I would not get these. They fit the bill for the price."
