Detailed Review
The Bella Vita Women's Mireya Pointed Toe Flat Ballet beautifully blends style and comfort. The innovative use of knit fabric not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also allows for a personalized fit, thanks to the stretchable topline. As you slip your feet into these flats, you'll immediately notice the soft cushion that cradles your foot, perfect for long days where standing is required.
When comparing this shoe to others in the market, such as the Sam Edelman Felicia and Naturalizer Whitney, it's clear that the Mireya holds its own with a contemporary look and a variety of fun patterns. However, be wary if you have wider feet, as some might find the fit a bit narrow. Additionally, the lack of water resistance is a consideration if you live in an area prone to rain.
In terms of versatility, the Mireya can transition seamlessly from office attire to weekend outings. Pair them with tailored trousers for work or a casual dress for brunch with friends, and you’ll undoubtedly make a fashionable statement.

User Reviews
I have a narrow foot and was nervous about ordering shoes online. However, not many box stores carry narrows. Bella Vita fits the bill for me. This shoe is just a bit short for my size 9N, but I kept it because it’s so cute and I figure the toe box will widen a bit with wear.Even at that the shoe is comfortable and lightweight, which I also love.
Fit great! Extremely comfortable and very stylish!
I really hoped these shoes would work for me. They are cute and look comfortable. Unfortunately they run about 1/2 a size short and are very tight on my very narrow foot. I tried them on briefly, but could see how the fabric might also runs your foot and cause blisters (the weave would act like a grater on your skin).
Too loose- walked right out of them.
The shoe is very attractive, but unfortunately, it is extremely snug across the toes, so I'm unable to wear it. I have long, narrow feet (12N) and hoped the shoes would be comfortable, but I will return them. I've had good luck with Trotters Estee flats, although they stretch out quickly and become too wide. If only there were consistent sizes!
I initially bought these at Nordstroms in a 7.5 ww and they turned out to be too big and my foot fell out of it. I have wide feet and USUALLY wear 7.5-8 in normal shoes but when it comes to ww I have to be a 7. Not too many brands carry a ww so I wasn't sure what to expect from this one and so I ended up ordering a 7ww and it fit perfectly! For the 7.5ww that I purchased else ware I just wear one of those shoe cushions you put in the back of the shoe to protect you from blisters (adds padding also).I have walked around in these shoes for about a month now and they are one of my favorite pairs. I highly recommend if you are very wide footed. There is still like, a teeeeeny bit of space, but not enough that your foot falls out.
I can work all day standing in these! I have a very wide foot and they are perfect!
This shoe is huge and flops off. Pass
