Customer Reviews Bandolino Edition 8

This is a nice ballet flat, but there wasn't a lot of support. The shoe hurt for the first few times wearing it because of the rubbing on the back of my foot. I wear short socks as well to help with the rubbing against the back of the foot.

Even for being flats, these shoes are pretty uncomfortable to last even a few hours. There's no sole support and I feel like my soles are just on the ground. I can feel every pebble and the wide isn't very wide. I needed these because it's difficult to find dress shoes that can pass through a metal detector. I often end up swapping them out after I get into work.

It's difficult to find a flat that doesn't cut into the back of my ankle. This shoe fits really well in that regard, but the stitching on the sides rub on my skin. It's also really narrow especially for a shoe marked wide. There's no support and the padding is minimal, so after a few hours of combined sitting and walking, my feet ache. I kept these anyway because I really needed a flat for work and I can manage through the day with these, just not two days in a row.

These are even cuter in person, but I think they run a bit small and narrow. Ordering larger size in wider width, because my daughter loves the sparkle.

This shoe was so cute and looked so comfortable, so we were very disappointed when we noted the shoe ran small. We returned for a 1/2 size up and it was then too big. So sad.

Very comfy ballet slipper. Too tight int he toe box. I'm not sure if it is too short or too narrow. I'm trying a bigger width and a bigger size to see. I tried the black leather.

The shoes were adorable and I was excited that they were available in a wide, which can be difficult to find in flats. However, when they arrived, they were very narrow. They were also rather small. I typically wear an 8 1/2 wide or a 9 regular, and these 9 wides were definitely too small all around. They rubbed uncomfortably in the back and I definitely would have developed a blister if I wore them for any period of time.

I measure a 5 ½ N. Thank goodness for free shipping and returns as I have a terrible time finding shoes that fit. Ordered this shoe in a 5 M in the natural leather.  Pleasantly surprised that my heel doesn’t slip out when I walk. It’s a bit short in the toe but not enough to warrant a return. Love the look of this shoe with summer dresses. Leather is very soft. I do not find it as comfortable for walking as other reviewers. I actually think it has little support or cushion; closer to a slipper shoe. Don't know if that's because it's not a narrow. However I do find it comfortable enough all day for work as long as I don't have to walk very far in them. Wish it came in narrow.

These are a nice basic nude flat and very comfortable. My only real gripe is that they are not leather so your feet sweat a lot and as a result your feet and the shoe starts to smell within a few months of owning them. Also, they only last about a year before the sole wears away, especially in the front near the toe, which was kind of disappointing for the price. They lasted me one summer and one fall/spring.

Very well made, comfortable shoe.

This shoe is very comfy! Only thing is I needed a wide and a whole size up! Overall, it's great for a quick on and go shoe.

These are a great color--bought the hot pink. Shape is a little off for my foot but I'm thinking on the right foot these would be lovely. True to size. More comfortable than most flats but fits more like a structured flat than a flexible flat.

Really cute and versatile little ballet shoes. The lining is soft and they have decent padding on the bottom. The heel fits is stretchy and fits nicely; it doesn't bunch and doesn't pinch or rub on my achilles tendon. I don't think they'll last more than a year or two unless I'm careful. They may end up as my summer/indoor work flats. I have E width feet and the W fit pretty well. I'm hoping the leather will stretch a bit because the right shoe is very comfortable but the left shoe seam hits in a bad spot and really pinches my pinkie toe. I would love these in a cognac brown. It's a bummer they don't make the "fun" colors in W width - but typical.

They hurt the back of my heel. The rest of the flat was not as snug as I thought it would be. Just "okay", nothing to rant and rave about. The lucky brand flats are more cushioned and comfortable .

I bought these in the bright pink and they fit fabulously. This pair, however, is at least a half size smaller. Weird and disappointing!

Wanted these to work but the fit was a little off. A bit too small and what looked like elastic in the photos was really just fabric.

Comfy, affordable ballet flat. Feels like you're wearing a slipper. Style/brand runs small, so order a 1/2 size up. Keep in mind that since it's a ballet flat, there will be no arch support or cushioning. I loved these shoes so much, that I have them in 3 colors!

Cute, but the back is real pokey and with the elastic bit all around, it really digs into the back of your ankle or achilles. A heel cushion seems to resolve that though! I'm normally an 8-8.5 and these seem to run small. I ordered an 8.5, but would probably need at least a 9 for these.

This is a darling little flat. Like many ballet flats, there's not much to the shoe. The sole is very thin but seems sturdy. It has a little bit of tread. It's soft and flexible. The upper is flexible and feels woven. It's fully lined with a suede-feeling material. This is comfy in a slipper sort of way. Don't expect any support at all. But it doesn't interfere with one's natural gait. Good shoes!

The elastic edge helped these fit much better than other flats I've tried. They feel a little stiff but I think they'd soften up with wear. If I hadn't found another pair I liked a little better, I would have kept them. Keeping my eyes open for a fun new color!

These flats are a bit rounder in the toe than I would have liked, but they were comfortable enough that I decided to keep them. They don't squeeze your foot too much, and they have a good amount of room for toes as well. Lots of colors to choose from, too.

This shoe is beautiful. I love it! I got the gold. It's not a really yellow gold...it's a little more like champagne. But unfortunately, it runs small. Not enough room in the toe box. In most shoes, I wear a 10.5, which is what I got here, but my toes were cramped and rubbed the end of the shoe. The width seemed spot on, though, and stayed on my narrow heel well. There is zero support in this shoe, however. Unfortunately, I had to return them. I'm afraid to try an 11 because the width would increase along with the length and probably not fit right on the rest of my foot. I would recommend ordering up a half size.

I have to order wides in all shoes, and I have very high arches, so finding ballet flats is difficult due to where the shoe hits on the top of the foot. These are actually very comfortable! It doesn't cut into the top of my arch, but but still provides toe coverage! Very easy to wear and I get a lot of compliments about them. There isn't a lot of arch support to these, but they are still comfortable and I am able to wear them throughout the day.

These were cute but fit strangely on my feet! Felt not quite half a size larger than marked. I could have worn them a few times but I felt like they might stretch out after a few ears, so back they went. :(
