This post is ridiculously funny! I like how you convey you’re feeling towards these ballet flats. it’s said with so much conviction that those pro ballet flats are likely to comment, or insult you. this post as one said is like waaaay too old and ballet flats are still here to stay. i guess, not everyone share your opinion. btw, i like them, wear them, some are too flimsy but some are just too comfortable to wear everyday.

Let me rant. I think ballet slippers are too much trying to promote ‘I am the good little girl that likes my comfort shoes’ routine which by the way, in reality they give no support to the feet. I would not even wear them to take out the garbage for fear I would step on a rock or a piece of glass not to mention work where I see even female doctors, who you would think would want to promote a look contrary to ‘I am such the good little girl’ image. There is such an attack on any form of heels right now. Being 5′10″ tall I like to play on my height and wear my professional standard 2 - 2.75 inch heels to work, many times under long pants and as a tall woman I catch so much flak from the ‘goody flat two shoe’ crowd that it drives me to fatigue. Standard heels are not uncomfortable to me and I think women look more competent and professional in reasonable heels. This little girl image needs to go.

I am not a guy and I hate them too! It’s been 2 1/2 years since this post was made and sadly this trend is still not dead.

Ladies, these shoes make your feet look bigger and your legs look bigger.

They should not be worn by anyone over age 14.

i dont understand why you are complaining about shoes… why dont you spend your time doing something useful instead of complaining about how stupid you think shoes are…

Mark you really are foolish. Don’t knock ’till you try ‘em. I wear them around the house and occasinal foreys to the shop because they are so comfortable. And I am a 71 one year old married male person.
Stop being such a pompous p.

I actually was looking for the real ballet shoes posts, but google took me here, and while I am still here, I might as well give my insight into the “issue”.
It’s quite interesting how ballet flats deserved a whole blog post of a man. That by itself should give the flats some credit I personally had some troubles with the flats’ pair I had: as someone has already mentioned here, their heel is too low and the feet don’t feel as comfortable as it might seem. The flats are way more comfortable than the heels though, and you can still wear them with skirts. Can’t really wear trainers with skirts, now can you? So this is why I personally might get a pair of those some time next year.

Ballet flats are great and soooo comfy, if you pick the right pair! I am very picky and I do not leave any store with something mediocre. All the flats I have are unbelievably comfy, don’t fall off my feet, and are the more stylish ones. You posted some ugly flats in your picture. There are plenty of sexy, cute flats out there, you just have to look hard enough to find them.
