These ballet flats LOOKED really cute on my feet, but they did not FEEL too good on my feet. The back dug into my achilles causing me pain and leaving a dark purple indent. Once I wore them in a little bit, I was able to wear them with less discomfort, but not completely. Also after having them for about 4 months, wearing them a few times per week, the gold started to fade wear my toes are. Now they are also starting to fade on the outer sides.
