privo Women’s Hop Ballet Flat
I got these shoes from Macy’s a little while back. (It’s exciting to see them here!) I loved them when I put them on. They’re futuristic and a little Japanese, and as a fan of sci-fi, they struck a big chord. I tried them on, and they fit really well. They have soft little circular bumps inside that provide a little cushioning and massage your feet.
I wear them pretty much everyday. They’ve held up pretty well, though like all ballet flats they don’t have much support and the bottom of my heels hurt if I walk too much in them. I find that they are not good shoes for walking around all day in, and I start tripping if I walk in them for long distances (IE sight seeing, they’re fine for walking places around town or between transit stops).
A couple of negatives, though. The inside is pink satin (I have the matte black ones) and it has developd a stain in the shape of my foot. It doesn’t bother me since the shoe breathes super well, but it might gross out your friends. Also, the adorable straps across the top sometimes leave marks on my feet if I wear them all day. The other thing is they don’t offer a lot of protection for your feet, slightly more than slippers, so don’t wear them if it’s rainy or you’re going to be walking through debris.
These are really definitive shoes for me and I get lots of compliments on them. They’re definitely “future shoes,” so lovely!
