Great Flat! Great alternative to a trendy, flat ballet flat! This shoe is not flat and hard on your feet the way most ballet flats are, they are comfortable to wear all day long and do not hurt your feet, heels, or back. The only draw back is in very hot weather, if you do not wear socks or peds with them, you feet tend to get hot and sweaty. Over all I am in love with these shoes, I would buy one in every color and material. The satin can be dressed up or down and doesn't appear to be sneaker-like at all!
