REVIEW HIGHLIGHT
"I love this style. I wear ballerina flats almost every day. The almond-shaped toes and bows still make them dressier than many other flats. I have very thin and bony feet, and I love Salvatore Ferragamo flats. They are made with very thick leather, so they stay in shape for many years."

Since the early '90s, Mary-Kate and Ashley have been showing us all what it means to be effortlessly cool. For that reason, it's no surprise to see The Row's Ballet Flats on our list.

REVIEW HIGHLIGHT
"It’s an enormous sum to blow on a ballerina flat, I know, but you’re either a sucker for The Row’s luxurious simplicity, or you’re not. This time around, they had me at the quirky round toe, the perfect pale pink color, and the tiny black elastic strap. I’m pleased that the shoe itself, while delicate, feels more substantial than I expected—the sole is not thick, but it’s supportive, and there is some padding. [...] In person, it's comfier than I expected and just as beautiful. Thrilled with this purchase."
