Yuk, unless you are in the Royal Ballet! Especially gold or silver ones.

ocd · 30/08/2006 19:14

i want to look good int em but feel like a t rex in them

Tinker · 30/08/2006 19:14

Don't really like 'em either. Make legs and feet look doll like

southeastastra · 30/08/2006 19:14

NomDePlume · 30/08/2006 19:14

I think they look like granny slippers

twinsetandpearls · 30/08/2006 19:15

No I love my ballet flats, have been wearing gold glittery ones with a black bow from Monsoon today.

WideWebWitch · 30/08/2006 19:15

They only look good on a certain type of willowy woman imo. Otherwise they should only be worn by ballet dancers.

Tinker · 30/08/2006 19:15

They make the foot look too flat

ocd · 30/08/2006 19:16

twinsetandpearls · 30/08/2006 19:16

Although when we were out I looked at dd feet and she also had gold ballet slippers on and I suddenly felt old and is if I was trying to keep up with my 4 year old, bit of a baby jane moment!

Polgara2 · 30/08/2006 19:16

Nope, absolutely love them - dead comfy, no teetering about in heels - great! Lots of other flatties feel frumpy imo.

ocd · 30/08/2006 19:17

My cousin, who is also 6' tall with big feet, wears little ballet type flats, her feet look tiny and she looks elegant.

I wear hulking great trainers or sandals and look like Clementine.

So that's a no from me

Greensleeves · 30/08/2006 19:20

I have red satin ones and I LOVE them

Tinker · 30/08/2006 19:20
