Thoughts on these ballet flats

[mjl6907]

I like but not sure about the bows.  Are they too childish or do you like?  I'm on the fence.  (I'm mid 30's by the way

I personally do not like any ballet flats that have bows.

Many of my ballet flats have bows, and I do not see that as a childish thing. It is just a feature of classic ballet flats.

I don't think they're too childish.
But I'm like PP and I just don't personally care for the bow.

I like bows but don't really care for the classic j crew ballet flats.

I debated on and love this Factory bow flats though:

I have those in black leather and love them. They are pretty classic imo and have the perfect amount of toe cleavage! The only thing is that I can't wear them if I walk around much because there is no arch support.

I like the J Crew ones. If you are looking for a cheaper option Old Navy has bow flats for less. They also have suede like flats without bows for cheaper. And I know they are running a discount code right now too. Depends on your preference. I use the ON flats as my work shoes. I don't feel bad beating the crap outta them since they don't cost much.

I like bows, I have these:







I don't like that kind of bow...the string-like bow. If that makes sense.

Ditto.

OP, I like the ones that you posted.

[bethaboo]

I am in the don't-like-the-string-bow camp so I am not a fan of those.

[fashionx]

They don't bother me, but I wouldn't personally choose those with a tiny bow. I like the more exaggerated style that HZ posted, or plain.

[phoenixrising]

I think they are a basic, plain flat. The string bow is a classic feature of flats, and I don't feel strongly either way about these.

I like them fine. And FYI--Talbots has really similar flats, great quality, for $40ish on sale now. I think today is the last day for free shipping. I tried on some like the first pair posted and they run true to size

[brooke77]

I don't love the ones you posted. I think due to a combination of the string bow and the suede. You can probably find better if you keep looking; there are so many options for ballet flats!

[jchokie79]

I love bows so I'm a little biased but I like these, they're cute.

[callie]

I like them.

I have a pair of Blochs with similar elastic bows. They don't seem juvenile to me. The only annoying part is they sometimes come untied.

Thanks! They're from zappos. I have seen them on 6pm also. They are Libby Edelmann.

I have a very similar pair from Target. I really like them. I hardly notice the bow on them, but I also like bows on ballet flats.

[pooh8402]

I love them. That's the classic style, so they'll last a while. I have a pair with the skinny bow and the bow doesn't bother me at all.

I like them.

I find it so odd that this post had over 1k views

I like them. I have several pairs of Bloch flats that have that skinny bow as well. I love it because if the shoe starts to get stretched out I can use the elastic to tighten them so they'll stay on better. Also, I prefer the smaller bows to the bigger ones.
