Customer Reviews Yosi Samra Alsina Leather Ballet Flat

Cute & comfy! These are the perfect ballet flats, stylish and comfortable. Order a size up, they run a bit small. I normally wear a size 9 (Eur 39), but for this shoe, I wear a 40.

These are very comfortable and practical because of the color. They are also very easy to carry in your bag as a second pair, to any events or work, if you are wearing high heels and you need a pair of flats to help you feel more comfortable. I just put these on and feel as if wearing slippers at home.

These are great flats! I walked all over in these on vacation and never had a problem. The top does slightly rub on your toes but I have yet to get a blister as a result. Definitely order next size up if you are 1/2 size - they fit snugly but hopefully will stretch slightly.

Lovely. I tried a much more expensive brand (Tieks) and these actually fit better and look better (but no cool aqua blue soles on these!).

I love the shoe, however the size 8 was too small and the 9 was too big. I wish they had half sizes!

I have these in black and nude and I love them! They are super comfortable because they stretch really nicely and can be worn all day without hurting my feet. I definitely recommend every woman to get a pair of these.

Overall, I like these shoes. I LOVE the whiskey color, and the price was much more affordable than the other foldable flats that I still want to try ($100 cheaper). I was surprised that the elastic around the top was as wide as it was. I don't know why, it just didn't seem to come across as that wide in pictures. They don't really have arch support, but are so flexible and cushioned, with the split sole, that I felt that my foot moved better with it's own muscles and didn't need it. I wear these often. They are basically my "go-to" shoe, and I wear them with most everything I can get by with. The leather is thick, and they seem pretty well made. You can see some of my toes through the leather, though. I have only started seeing wear now, and I've had them about 4 months. The wear is on the leather around the toes, and I haven't put anything on them. Also, there is some wear in the shoe at the ball of my foot. The soles are fine, and I occasionally am caught in a rainstorm in them. As I said, I wear them often. I started wearing them in a very physically strenuous work environment, with children, and was a little afraid that they wouldn't work. They actually worked out fine, as they were actually hard to pull off with the elastic. I had been afraid of losing a shoe at an inopportune moment. I usually wear an 8.5, and so I ordered a 9. I find that my foot gets pushed by the elastic toward the front of the shoe, leaving space in the back which is pulled up by the elastic. I think that I would like to try an 8, since my toes are going to be pushed forward anyway. Maybe then there wouldn't be that "excess" on the back. On the other hand, they may just end up being too small. Overall, I love the concept. I still want to try the other brand, but these have made me fairly happy. I wish they offered a darker navy, and maybe some other smooth leather colors.

I'm a "flats" chic an I can never have enough pairs of flats. This shoe in particular is very nice due to its quality and nice style. Not to contradict my statement on quality, I still need to warn you that this is NOT an everyday or several times a week type shoe due to the soft butter leather material therefore you shouldn't wear this shoe in wet, muddy or inclement weather. Im a size 9 on average and the shoe appears to be true to it's size. I read a rating that stated their toe print shows in the shoe. Due to the leather being butter soft, its understandable that depending on the shape of your toes, you may see a print. For women with longer toes, you may have a print since this flat is more snug/fitted, but if you have shorter somewhat same length toes you should not have a problem seeing this. Nothing is perfect and its more so personal preference. I would recommend this shoe and think I may purchase another pair in another color soon.

These shoes are so cute. Leather is so soft. The elastic around the entire shoe is very comfortable. My only issue is that they run so small. I wear a 9-9.5. I ordered a 10 and even though the leather is stretchy, I feel that my big toe is bunched in. I was going to try an 11! But I just noticed that they don't make an 11... Hmmm, do I buy a shoe stretcher or just return them...

These run small. I wear a size 6 and my toes felt scrunched up. I have went through several pairs of these and I wasn't sure of the size of my old ones so I went with a 6 but should have got the 7. I could use a 6.5, not size 7 but the 7's in my old ones still fit due to the stretchy elastic top but they crunch up a bit at the back of the heel. These shoes have no support when walking on concrete or hard floors you will really feel the pounding. They are comfortable enough for moderate to light walking preferably on carpeted floors with more cushioning. However I will say I still like this brand and find them to be more comfortable than most any flats for me since I have slightly wider feet that don't work well in most med. width flats. One other thing I have noticed is that my feet tend to scrunch up in the toe box due to the elastic top and the folding nature of these flats. I would love to see these made in a non- folding version and half sizes with slightly more cushioning. That would be perfection.

Nice looking shoe, leather isn't as good as Tieks but these aren't as expensive as Tieks, either. To me, they ran really small, I think I could have gone up another two sizes if they'd been in stock.

Very cute and comfortable but they are really too thin. I would worry about wear and tear with the material and soles of the shoe. I wear size 9 and got a 10. The 10 fit. You could see the indention of my biggest toe because the leather is thin. Also says you can't get them wet.

These were comfortable but after wearing them only a handful of times and to the airport, the leather is already rubbing off. Loved how comfortable they are but really disappointed with the durability with the price.

I write this as a patron of Tieks so I might be biased since I'm looking for these shoes to measure up to those. I was just hoping...if I could find something similar enough but less than half the price - that would be pretty great! I find the Yosi Samras equally as comfortable. Like another reviewer, they seem less likely to stand up to some puddles due to the suede around the bottom. I also find their leather to be thinner, so it shoes the outline of my feet and look kind of lumpy. They aren't especially tight, the leather just doesn't keep its own shape. Obviously, somewhat soft leather is necessary for the comfort. But I wish they didn't show the outline of my foot so much so I'm returning. I do like their nude color more than Tieks nude color, though.

Horrible. Wore through the leather and stitching blew out within one month. No support. Waste of money.

Sadly, this item comes packed with a little card called "Care Instructions." This card says, "We recommend you take special care of to maintain the beauty of this product by avoiding contact with water (including rain. I bought these to be go to shoes when traveling or when I was tired of heels. The fact that I could not wear them if there was any water or rain in site makes them completely useless to me. And I get that this is true to the way they are designed. There is a leather sole in the front and the back but in the middle, there is a very thin suede piece of fabric that would get soaked in even the lightest rain. These are essentially in door only shoes in my opinion. Not all of this brand is designed this way.

These are not attractive at all. The material showed the outline of my toes on the top of the shoe as soon as I placed my foot in it. I didn't like the nude color in person. There was absolutely no support or anything endearing about the shoe. I returned them immediately.
