I had to size up 2 sizes from my normal European size. Once I did that though I really like the Wolky Ballet. I have a host of foot problems including flat foot, bunions, and hallux limitus. I am able to wear these shoes without orthotics. Win!

No, you rock and so do these shoes. Bought them, walked all over NYC the first time I wore them and they were fabulous!

I bought these shoes last winter and wore them to Washington, DC for a week- long trip. They kept my feet dry, warm and comfortable in the snow and ice. They were dressy enough for dinners out and comfy enough for sightseeing. These are ideal travel shoes.

This shoe felt comfortable on the bottom but the top pf the shoe is a definite V pattern so the edges are it cut into the top of my feet. It needs to be more curved in the opening of the shoe. Shame because otherwise it would have been great. I wear a 6.5 and prdered the 38 and it was true to size.

I was not sure if the design would work for my high instep but that was fine. It is low enough and the suede stretches. The problem is that my toes hit the top of the shoe (not the front). That did not seem like that would resolve itself with wear. Too bad because the sole is exceptionally comfortable and supportive. They are really cute on. Sadly, I had to return them.

Woo Hoo! A shoe that's stylish and fits my foot in spite of my bunions. Very comfy too.

I wore these right out of the box while singing in a concert. They were comfy and supportive. I love these and may need to buy them in silver/grey as well.

Love the style, a bit more width would help the comfort level. The leather is very nice and easy to care for.

I love Wolky shoes but have had to return two pairs now because they run small and do not have a large enough size for me. They must have changed their last because an older pair I have continue to fit well.

This is my favorite shoe I have ever had. I got a pair of the ballet flats, black suede, at a consignment shop, perfectly new, and at first they felt a bit stiff and I was not sure. but as they broke in, they became my all-time favorite shoe. not only profoundly comfortable, but the v-shaped upper is so flattering and elegant... Honestly, I wore these shoes for several years, pretty much every single day, and I always felt they were not only appropriate but gave me a kind of understated elegance and style. I love these shoes. I have worn them simply into the ground and now am preparing to buy a new pair at full price. Best shoes I have ever had.

I bought these shoes this fall and I love them. I bought the anthracite gray and they are a great neutral. They are very comfortable, wide enough to accommodate my bunions. They have enough cushioning under the ball of the foot as well. I like the V they come to at the throat. It makes them look stylish and like the ballet flats that are so fashionable today, but they have much more support than most ballet flats have. I think they will also be an ideal shoe for traveling.

Bought these shoes for a trip to Europe in the winter. Very comfortable immediately. As others have noted, you can walk all day in these, then wear them out to dinner. Stylish, supportive, a great shoe. The anthracite color is a nice change from plain black and works well for spring and summer. I've just received my second pair, for more travel!

I love them, want a pair in every colour. Read a review that said they were comfortable right out of the box, for whole day of walking followed by dining out. That has been my experience too: a serious test in NYC incl art museums, miles of walking, then still felt classy when at dinner in restaurant.

Nice looking shoes--just what I was looking for. But really uncomfortable! They are stiff, and the toe box was to small, and the heel to big.

I wanted to love these shoes. I thought that for the price, they would fit fabulously and I would be feeling like walking on clouds...not quite.. Both my small toes hurt on the side of the shoe. The right foot was unbearable to the point where I had to wrap it with a Band-Aid. I had taken the insoles that come with the shoe and put in my own insoles which are made of a hard material to support my arch. I thought that maybe my insoles were too thick, pushing my feet upwards or sideways causing the rubbing against my toes so I decided to take them out and put the Wolky ones in. This did not cure the problem. So I decided to go to Aerosoles and bought a similar shoe. I am in heaven ever since. They are perfect, they require no adaptation on my part. I have to admit, they don't look as hip and beautiful as the Wolky but they are better for my feet.

The footbed was..strange. Perhaps because I ordered the size up and it didn't work.

I got these shoes for a song, completely unworn, at a consignment store. When I first wore them, I thought I had made a mistake, as the first few hours they felt a little stiff and painful. but soon after, they merged with my feet and I have been wearing my pair pretty much every single day for the last four years or so. I'm here just now to find another identical pair. I have never in my life had a pair of shoes I loved as much as these. I have walked twenty plus miles a day in them and never given a moment's thought to my feet. they are ridiculously comfortable. but just as important, the way they are cut, with the v shaped top, is so flattering and honestly just universally chic. It makes your feet look beautiful, your ankles look thin, and I cannot imagine a more gorgeous ballet. I've tried them all, repetto, roger vivier, you name it. But I just love the cut of these and also the way they feel and I have given my a run for the money, and they have been perfect for sporty and fancy alike. I just feel so great when I wear them. My favorite shoe I've ever owned, and I will now buy my second pair now at full price and still feel I got a great deal.

These are the most comfortable and stylish shoes I've had ever. You see, I have to use custom orthotics...ever since I developed plantar fasciitis. I can wear them with anything. I had given up hope of anything that would work with my wardrobe. Thank you Zappos!

These shoes are the cutest comfort shoe I've ever seen! I went back online to buy out Zappos supply and they are all gone in my size! These shoes are classic (never go out of style), expensive looking, comfortable like clouds (however, they may stretch out as they're suede, but we love suede right?), and not grossly expensive. Get 'em while you can! Hey Zappos, get more and in grain leather as well as suede, colors (especially in suede) would be good too, scarlet please.

Wow! This shoe makes my feet so happy! And I dig the style. Only thing was it ran big on me so I need to size down. Other than that, I'm in love.

I love these shoes! I must be weird, though, as they ran large for me. I am usually a 6 or 6.5. I ordered the 38 and they were too large for me. Zappos note says to order up. I should have ordered down. Oh, well. I have a wide foot and these felt just fine.

The company was so accommodating. I made a mistake on size, and they so cheerfully exchanged...within a couple of days. The human being on the line was personable and sincere. A comforting experience.

Extremely comfortable shoe with high toe box. Beautiful V-shaped vamp visually extends the length of the leg. I have this shoe in four colors and it looks "right" with pants, shorts or skirts. Great shoe for traveling because it works with everything. Runs slightly large so I use a heel pad under the removable insole to compensate.
