I'm conflicted about these ballet flats. They are cute and reasonably priced, but they seem to be inconsistent. I'm a solid size 8, but the first pair I purchased were way too tight in the toe area. I returned them and ordered a size 8.5. These fit much better, but there is an odd, back heel strip that I think it meant to be a pad/grip, and on one shoe, it's way off to the side. The one in the other shoe is centered. It's not a deal breaker necessarily, but it's a little annoying, as I can feel the difference. I didn't notice this issue in the first pair, so I'm guessing it was a fluke in the second pair. They seem comfortable in general, so I'd probably purchase another pair in the future.
