Alpine Swiss Womens Pierina Round Toe Ballet Flats

The shoes are not comfortable, makes noise when I walk (even with dress socks on), and are tight on your feet. Not something I will purchase again.

I had ordered these shoes because:- they looked simple,-they were made of real leather,- the reviews that had been writen about them were very positive...and I understand why; the one I had ordered were black and they were really the kind of shoes that goes with every kind of clothes. Moreover, they are really made with leather which is incredible when you think of their price! However, I had followed the customers' pieces of advice about ordering my size but unfortunately the shoes were too small because not wide enough for my foot shape so I decided to offer them to charity because retour postal fees were nearly the price of the shoes by the way. I entered in contact with Value On Style, the seller, asking if it would be possible to get a most accurate size scale: I was impressed by the professionalism of the company and the employee I was in contact with: they are totally dedicated to listen to their customers, what a rare quality that desserves to be underlined!!!Despite the fact my request is a little bit tough, I do not despair ordering another pair of these cute ballets!

These shoes where very comfortable that I ordered another color.

The good: For simple, basic black flats these are great. Every woman need shoes that can potentially go with everything, and I really love these. My feet are pretty wide, and these arent too tight at all. Very soft, and SEEM like real leather, which is not possible at the price.The bad: For $11 these obviously offer less support than my houseshoes. They are super BASIC! I think they'd look better with jeans than a skirt or slacks, but theyd be ok for casually dressy. I ordered the plain black and the color is a bit dull. Im ordering a second pair in a color.The ugly: Like every flat made, youre gonna have to break them in. I wore them for 4 hours the first time and had no issues with them while wearing them, but there was a red line on my heel when i took them off which looked pre-blisterish.But im sure theyll be great when broken in.

For the price your getting a very decent pair of black flats. I don't need "everyday", but these could take it and I'd get my money's worth 3-fold before they'd wear out. I also bought Machi Belinnda pink quilted ballerina flats (with the goofy "B" bling) which were $1 more. The Alpine have a little more forgiveness in the toe area, expose about 1/3 more of the top of the foot, have no "heel" (as flats go) and don't have as much sole and instep construction as the Machi's. That being said, I've got 1 of each on my foot right now and the Alpine flats are more comfortable... but the Machi's ain't bad either. I will buy again when they get trashed or I need a different color. Oh, I'm size 9, ordered a 9, and they fit perfect.

I got these shoes THE NEXT DAY. I was thrilled with the shipping. I was however, a little sad that they were about half a size too big. I'm a true size 7 and can fit a finger at the heel if I slide my foot all the way forward. I figure I can wear those footsies socks with them eventhough I wish I didn't have to because the inside of the shoe IS genuine leather and very soft and comfortable. They look narrow but mold to your foot. (my foot is a little on the wide side) I ordered the brown and the color truly is a maple brown and not the orangey brown color as it shows in the picture. The outside isn't leather but they did a good job imitating it and looks/feels very realistic. The sole isn't the best of craftsmanship but it's non-slip, ribbed light rubber. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with these.

Ladies, don't let the photo fool you, these are BROWN shoes, even though they appear to be a burnt orange color.I wear a size 9-my foot is somewhat wide, these shoes are comfy, I'm wearing them right now. First day, since they arrived yesterday Aug 14th. I believe the size you wear is what you should order, these shoes give a little I don't know if they are real leather (I doubt it). However I have these on without any stockings or socks. The price said they were originally $38.50, so that's a good markdown for these-and flats are definately in style this season, you can wear these to work, shopping or even church- or with tunics and leggings, straight leg jeans, skirts and most dresses. This brown is a rich caramel brown, looks like expensive leather, so if you are into designer handbags-you should be able to wear these shoes with that designer bag,no one being the wiser, The shoes look that nice. Who wants to spend $ 75 or more on ballet/flats anyway? I don't,especially when you can buy a bunch of these for less than $10.00

These shoes do run small but I listened to what other reviews stated and bought a slightly larger size and they fit fine. Quality wise they are what you'd expect for the price. The insoles are a bit cheap and did become loose after awhile but I will just replace them with cushier ones. As for comfort I wore these all day and was fine. I didn't have a lot of the usual issues I have with breaking in flats: pinching, blisters, etc. I know these flats probably won't last long but they serve their purpose for the moment: a easy comfy shoe to wear to and from work for the remainder of the summer. And then I will probably stash them at my desk to wear at work when I want to change out of my work heels

I love these ballet flats. You don't need to pack any other shoes when you travel. Leggings, jeans, dress/casual/semi-formal, or formal cocktail dress, these flats look fantastic with EVERYTHING. They are VERY true to size, so if you know you need your shoes just a teeny bit bigger, but not a half size bigger, buy your true size, and wear them with heavy damp socks for a few hours and in 2 or 3 days they will be your favorite, comfy, wear absolutely anywhere shoes!

Shoes are nice enough but way too small - and I bought up a size!

They fit as expected. Deeper toe bed than the Iris flats sold by Alpine Swiss, stiff upper material makes them a bit uncomfortable for the first wear but that goes away. I'm happy with them :)

Nice shoes. I just hope they will stretch a little in time.

Awful. Looks super cheap, like something you'd get at the dollar store.Makes feet look worse than runners, etc. And worst of all, makes this nasty noise any time I take a step. I will never wear these because of the noise factor alone. Shipping to Cnda is too expensive. Not very impressed :(
