I love ballet flats and I like how comfortable these flats by Born are.  I also like that they are pretty plain. I don't want flowers or embellishments of any kind on my shoes and these don't have any of that.  The first time I wore them, I did get the beginnings of a blister on my heal but I feel like that almost always happens when you wear shoes for the first time and aren't wearing socks. I just put a band aid on my heels after a couple of days everything was fine.
