This flat is at an excellent price point for a trendy item. I bought this pair to wear around the house when guests are around because who wants to wear ratty slippers (or heaven forbid, bright green clown-y regular crocs) when you're entertaining? As mentioned in another review, they're opaque enough so that one's toes are not visible and pairing these shoes with slim cropped black pants makes me feel like Audrey Hepburn. Alas, they tend to slip off my heel if I don't actively push my feet to the back of the shoe while walking, but this is a problem I have with all ballet flats.
