Run Star Trainer Ballet Flat

These ballet flats were comfortable right out of the box with zero break-in period. They're versatile enough to pair with casual outfits or athletic wear, and the tread on the sole handles light sports activities well. I typically wear them running around the park with my kids or on busy errand days when I still want a cute, sporty look. The arch support is better than other flats I've worn, but since I have high arches, it's not quite enough for all-day wear or really long stretches. That's really the only thing I'd change. I've had them about three months, wearing them once or twice a week, and they're holding up great with minimal wear and tear. Now that summer is here I'm reaching for them more often.

These are my daughter's go-to shoes. She wears them pretty much daily, and they're the first pair she grabs when she needs to get out of the house in a hurry. The slip-on design makes them so easy to put on, and they look like a normal shoe. They're very durable and easy to match with different outfits. She was initially worried about the look in the front with no laces and whether she'd need higher socks, but that quickly became a non-issue. Now she wears any sock with them or even slides them on without socks at all. The only downside is that the suede on the outside scuffs up a little more than expected and gets dirty really fast, but that's pretty normal for a shoe. Overall, she loves them.

These flats give me the support and structure of a tennis shoe with an elevated, dressier look. I can walk around the city and handle outdoor activities without my feet hurting, which isn't something I can say about regular flats. They feel light but not like I'm walking barefoot. I reach for them one or two days every couple of weeks when I want to dress up an outfit or style them with something specific. I love that they look like regular tennis shoes but with a more polished feel.

These are comfortable but still cute, and so versatile. I usually wear them running errands or doing groceries with my kids, and the low profile makes them easy to pair with skirts and capris. The strap on top is a nice touch because I don't feel like I'm falling out of them all day. I've had them for a few months and wear them about once a week. I do make sure to air them out between uses because they can get sweaty, but since I'm only wearing them once a week for shorter periods, I haven't had any issues with stink. There are a lot of ways you can style these shoes, and I love that balance of comfort and cute.

Great shoe overall, just a touch too narrow for my pinky toe. It scrapes up against the side during normal walking, so if you have wider feet, you may want to size up in width. The shoe itself is well made, comfy, and I love the style. The little strap adds nice support and keeps it securely on your foot, and the heel feels great. My one regret is the burnt orange color. It just doesn't go with much of my wardrobe. I actually tried to dye them, and the dye didn't take well. When I washed them during that process, the insoles came out, which was probably my fault for not checking first. They held up really well in the wash otherwise, and I just popped the insoles back in. I've had them a few months now and wear them about once a week. Overall I really like them, just a few minor tweaks would make them perfect.

These ballet flats are very comfortable and stylish once you break them in. The padding is great for walking long distances, and the durability has held up well over about six months of regular wear with minimal scuffing and the color still looking nice. The color adds a fun splash to my outfits since it's not one I have a lot of in my wardrobe. They did require a break-in period. I got a blister on the back of my heels at first, even wearing socks, so I had to loosen them up before they became truly comfortable. The top strap is also a little tight. It's loosened up some with wear but is still snug. If they could make that strap just a bit more relaxed, these would be perfect. I wear them at least once every week or two and love pairing them with different outfits to bring that pop of color whenever I can.

These ballet flats are super comfortable and versatile. They have a good amount of cushioning that feels almost like a memory foam insert. I have another pair of ballet flats that make my feet feel like I'm standing on concrete after an hour, but these don't do that at all. I wear them with flowy skirts, sundresses, and flared-bottom pants to dress things up, and they work with everything. The rubber sole is fantastic. So many shoes nowadays have that plastic material on the bottom where it feels like you're sliding across wood floors or linoleum, feeling like you're about to break your neck in a grocery store. These actually grip. They did feel a little tight around the toes the first few times I wore them- like they were squishing my feet, but after breaking them in they feel great. I have very high arches and the shoe doesn't fully support that, but it doesn't take away from the comfort or cause any pain. I've owned them for several months now and wear them at least once or twice a week. My only potential concern is the strap across the middle. There's nothing wrong with it currently, no fraying or wear, but I have to lift it up each time I put the shoe on to get it positioned right on my foot. Over time that repeated movement could cause it to snap or the threads to wear thin. It's fabric, so I could always sew it back, and I might be pleasantly surprised by how long it lasts. That's honestly the only thing I could think of because otherwise the shoe is built really well. I love them and wouldn't change a thing.

Not recommended for anyone with wide feet. The narrow toe box made my feet ache, usually within about 45 minutes of just walking around, and it actually hurt enough that I stopped wearing them altogether. No running or active movement, just regular walking was enough to cause discomfort. I will say the durability impressed me. After a few months of regular wear, the condition looked just as good as when I first got them. If you have narrow feet, these could work well for you, but wide-footed buyers should look elsewhere.

These ballet flats are more comfortable and more padded than similar ones I've owned, especially in the heel. They've held up well after several months of regular wear, maintaining their shape with no issues. I typically wear them once or twice a week running errands and doing anything that keeps me on my feet for a while. They did take some breaking in, but now they feel great.

This shoe can't decide if it's a tennis shoe or a ballet flat, and it doesn't really succeed at either. The sole coming up on the front toe and the Converse logo give it sneaker vibes, but it's not sleek enough to pass as a ballet flat. I didn't find it particularly comfortable or attractive to wear. The strap across the top of the shoe is a little tight and uncomfortable. I've owned it for a few months and have only tried to wear it about five times because I just don't enjoy it when I do. It's not comfortable enough for daily wear and not fashionable enough to pair with much. To be fair, the shoe holds up well, the sole is fine, and I haven't had any durability issues. It might work for someone with different tastes, but for me it was a swing and a miss.

These ballet flats are very comfortable and very cute. I've worn them all day on my feet and on walks with no foot fatigue, good support, and solid grip. They fit well, but really pay attention to the size chart. My only durability concern is the interior lining. I accidentally left them outside in the rain, and after they dried, the lining near my toes bubbled up and wrinkled. I haven't been able to smooth it back out, which made them less comfortable. If you're normal and don't leave your shoes outside in the rain, you should be okay. I've owned them a couple months and was wearing them once or twice a week before they got wet. Overall I really liked them.

These are incredibly comfortable and versatile. I've worn them all day several times with no achiness or tightness whatsoever. They have the support of a tennis shoe but are more stylish, and I feel like I could chase after one of my kids in them without any issues. The Mary Jane strap sets them apart from my other ballet flats and gives them a sporty, on-trend appeal. The neutral color pairs easily with blacks, browns, and whites, so they go with almost everything. I love wearing them to dress down a dressier outfit or just for running errands. Today I'm at the end of my pregnancy and wore them with a cute romper and jean jacket, and they looked great. Everything is holding up really well after a few months. The strap stays in place, though it does leave a slight mark on the top of my foot sometimes (that might just be an end-of-pregnancy thing). It's nothing severe, just a small impression. I love the Converse brand in general, and this pair has been a go-to.

These ballet flats are comfortable, easy to move in, and look more put together than regular sneakers. As a toddler mom, I'm constantly chasing my little one, climbing on the playground, and getting down on the ground, so I need shoes that move with me. These absolutely do, and I've continued to enjoy them the more I wear them. They're completely durable and still look great. A couple of minor issues: the elastic across the top of my foot can get tiring, and the back heel slips a little. These run a bit large, so I'd recommend going down a half size, which might help with both of those things. I haven't fully mitigated either issue, and I tend not to wear them multiple days in a row because of it. That said, I still reach for them frequently and really enjoy them overall.

These are the most comfortable ballet flats I've ever owned, and I wouldn't change a thing about them. The arch support is noticeably better than other ballet flats I've tried, and my feet don't hurt after taking them off. Even as a pronator, I get great support. I wear them almost daily for shopping, dinner, hanging out with friends, and after a few months they still look new. The sole quality is excellent, the material feels durable, and they've held up really well. There's honestly nothing disappointing about these shoes.
