I've been on a long search for flats that are comfortable (I walk a lot, and quickly), well-made, and chic. I've worn these a couple of times and so far these fit the bill, especially since they are quite structured & not as flimsy as so many ballet flats. The style is simple and classic and the aubergine is a lovely dusty purple color. After reading a number of reviews on Amazon and other sites I ordered down a size (I am a reliable 7.5) to get the 37/6-6.5 and they were way too small. The size 38/7-7.5 are a better fit, but they are just a little bit on the big side, so I've inserted a set of adhesive heel-gripping pads. These don't com in true half sizes, so I would say that if you are a half-size, order your correct size, but if you are a whole size you may want to size down.
