I've been looking for supportive ballet flats and I thought these would be perfect. The support is 'ok' but the threading around the top of the shoe has shredded my ankles! I've never had such bad blisters and bleeding just walking a couple of blocks!! Also, the heel is too big and it's tight in the toes...oddly made, way too expensive. I can't return them because I bled on them the first hour I wore them :-(
