Best fitting flats I've ever worn! I have the hardest time finding ballet flats that fit properly, because for some reason, my feet require a full size larger in ballet flats than any other style (no matter what brand) to get the right length. But that means they're too wide and I can never find cute shoes in narrow sizes. These have elastic at the heel and sides, but not too much. Just enough that it keeps the shoes on my feet, but not so tight and bunchy that it would make people with normal feet uncomfortable. The Rose Cream color is lovely. It isn't too pink. Rather, it is a very light beige-y pink with a subtle gold sheen to it. The perfect neutral--distinctly feminine without being all bubblegum and rainbows and unicorns fart sparkles!

Best ballet flat in this color and I have tried (and tried them all on and even bought and returned a pair). It is very cute and reminds me of a dressy slipper. Not really a "walk around the city" shoe, but very comfortable for errands and dinner dates. Looks great with jeans! If you are looking for a more comfortable ballet flat I would try Soft Soles by Kenneth Cole.

I have a love and hate relationship with these flats. As some have mentioned before, it fits perfect with a half size bigger than your original size, they're very comfortable and it looks really cute. With that being said I have two qualms about these flats. 1, your feet cannot breathe. The material in these flats leave you with sweaty feet sorry to say. 2, the material inside the shoe is so soft and thin that by two weeks time, there was already a hole through the inside lining right where both my big toes kept rubbing against the shoe. With that said I still ended up buying another pair because I loved the style and how well it went wig everything I wore. I guess I'll just have to get the flats patched up at the dry cleaners.

Love 'em so much I bought them in Red and Leopard! Get compliments on both colors and super comfy! True to width but I do have pretty narrow feet.

I love these shoes! I work in an office so I am not on my feet all day. I don't think they would be good for lots of walking or standing. They have not caused any blisters on my feet so I am happy with that.

Great everyday ballet flat, buttery leather and very comfy with good rubber heel support. Thinking about ordering another colorway! Or two!

Love these shoes! They are super comfortable and have been since day one, no having to break them in or blisters.

I love these! Super cute and comfy, they go with everything. They fit true to size. I have really wide feet and the size 9 fit me fine. The back kind of gave me blisters the first few times I wore them but now I think they are just broken in better.

I think this shoe looks of pretty good quality considering its price and peer shoes. I usually wear an 8.5-9 size and I'm reordering this in a 7.5 for a more snug fit. Maybe it's because these ballet flats accommodate a wider foot well.

Love, love, love these shoes. The color is beautiful and really goes with both brown and black. They are so comfortable right after I got them, I wore them on a trip and had no issues with new shoe blisters. Really happy with the purchase.

I am 5' 4" and size 38 DDD, usually 14 or L in tops. In this top an XL fits great, either alone or with a light layer underneath. For some reason, I feel like Columbia is a cheesy brand, but this is the most comfortable casual cool weather top I've found in a long time. It fits so well; has some shape and is not too baggy or too long. It fits my torso; no bagging of material under my armpits, yet gives me perfect room in the chest and no gathering of material across my back. I got the dark plum color; it's a space-dye mix of plum, navy, and dark brown. It sounds hideous but it works and is really unique. I love it so much I've worn it almost every day since I've gotten it and it is hard to be without it when I need to wash it. I want to get another -- my biggest complaint is that after just a few wears it began to pill, which drives me crazy. I don't think anyone notices it but me, but I can see the fuzzy pilling when I look down at my front (not when I look in the mirror).

I loved this fleece, although I am returning it because it didn't fit me so well. I am only 5'1" and 105 lbs. The length was a little long, but acceptable. The problem was the amount of material around the waist and hip area - I needed to cinch it in about 1-2" inches so it just looked weird. However, the color is great, the material very soft, and the pattern is truly unusual and interesting. I wish it fit better; I would have loved to keep it.
