I bought these in the wine color, which is gorgeous, however the edge of the toe portion digs into my foot whenever I take a step....there is no way I would attempt to walk ANYWHERE in these. [$]

Love the shoes, just ordered my 4th pair. I have long, narrow feet but the "Sparlings" are the best fitting, most comfortable shoes that I've ever owned. So well padded, that you just float.

Perfect with casual capri pants......yet dressy for evenings. Great with jeans as well.

Fairly comfortable (the patent leather was a bit stiff out of the box), but much cuter in the photo than in real life. Somewhat grandmotherly, in fact.

These shoes look great. They work for casual or semi-dressy clothes. They are a little stiff and rub my feet esp at the ankly and across the top of my foot. I'm hoping that they will soften after i break them in. Love the way they look. Hope they just get more comfortable.

Cute, flat shoe for work or casual outings. The heels may rub a little at first (foot petals work great for this!) and the part that goes to the top of your foot may need to be broken in a little, but overall it's a comfortable shoe I can wear w/ slacks to work. Great for all day wear.

I love this shoe and have actually purchased it in three colors. Born shoes are so comfortable and well built, but also beautifully stylish. I do not wear heels, as a rule, and this flat actually is so stylish that it fits being worn as a casual style or a more bit more formal style.

Love it!

These are so comfortable that I bought the black after wearing the red and liking them so much. However, after I started wearing the black I noticed the red ones had cracks in the patent leather along the creases. I hope it is a fluke and does not happen with the black.

These shoes were so comfortable from the moment I put them on- I went and ordered the black. They are a great alternative to heels and work well with dresses and pants. Well worth the price.

I love these. I got them in the green which is a really dark green. I wear them more than I thought I would. Comfy, stylish ballet flats.

These are the most comfortable flats I own--they're sturdy but flexible and don't rub my feet anywhere. They're not at all bulky either--they look great with skinny jeans and skirts and dresses. I've worn them probably 8 times and the patent leather is holding up well--creasing but not cracking where I bend my feet. A great value!

I absolutely LOVE this shoe. I've looked and looked for a good, comfortable and cute ballet flat to use for every day use, formal and travel. Something that is all around that could work with skirts, capris and pants and that I could walk in all day long and my feet feel good. These have great arch support and are made extremely well. Great shoe at any price, especially this one!
