I was looking for a pair of flats that I can wear with skinny pants or skirts to work that are comfortable and these fit the bill perfectly. I thought they looked bulky in the picture but in person they look way better. Furthermore they are soooo comfortable that I can wear them all day. I love ballerina flats too but after a couple of hours my feet are killing me so I was pleasantly surprised when I wore those for 10 hours straight and my feet felt as good as in the morning when I first put them in. Finally the black cherry color is awesome....it goes with everything. I got mine on sale since the black that I originally wanted was sold out. I am extremely happy with this purchase and I highly recommend this shoe if you are looking to buy a pair of wingtips.
