Detailed Review
When it comes to functional footwear, the Shoes8teen Women's Foldable Portable Travel Ballet Flat Shoes stand out. The comfort level is impressive, thanks to the memory foam insoles that cushion your feet effectively during prolonged use. You’ll appreciate the slight arch support that assists in reducing foot fatigue during extended wear.
The design is not just about functionality; it encapsulates a trendy appeal with its classic round toe shape and fashionable leopard print. This makes it suitable for both casual outings and more formal events like proms or office wear.
Its practicality shines through as well. The shoes come with a matching carrying case, making them perfect for travel. You can easily fold them and pack them away without taking up much space. Plus, their slip-on style means you can get ready quickly, which every busy woman can appreciate.
However, it's important to note that these flats may not provide sufficient support for those who plan on doing extensive walking or standing. Additionally, they may not perform well in wet conditions due to their synthetic material.

User Reviews
I love them but they were too small and they are true to the fit. The gold satin slipper
I usually wear a 7.5 to 8 and I bought the 7/8 size and it fits perfect. 5 stars for size. They are very comfortable, 5 stars for comfort. There is no support at all and a very thin sole, I'm a little disappointed about that, but they will make great slippers. There are 2 different types of foldable ballet flats by Shoes 18 one type (the kind i bought 1st in nude, pictured below and comes in a smaller pouch with a carrying loop) and a second kind (which i bought in yellow, see pic) that has a different bow on the shoe that's been stitched around the edges and has little golden "baubles" if you will at the end. The sole is much much thicker than the nude colored one and it actually has a thicker part at the heel having about an 1/8 inch heal. The zipper pouch is different as well (see pic) so a review of the yellow pair:. I bought size 7/8 and they fit perfectly. 5 stars for size. They are comfortable, 5 stars for comfort. And best of all, they have a very nice thick heal that you can actually wear outdoors without feeling every pebble underfoot. I actually wore them around on my gravel driveway and they are great. So, depending on what you want them for will determine the style you buy. I want to wear them outside and i want them for traveling, hence the reason for the foldable flats.My previous review was only 2 stars because what i got wasn't like the picture, but then i realized my mistake (the two different styles. I quickly ordered every color in the thick soled version. I wish they had more colors because they are awesome. I'd love the snake skin ones in the thick soled version. Absolutely love these shoes since i got the right ones.Update: 6/22/17I wore these shoes all day with shorts so I didn't wear socks with them. They were comfortable for several hours, but by the afternoon, I was ready for a break. The elastic around the edges rubbed my feet a little sore and raw so I changed into my flat sandals for a break. If I can get them worn in (and get my feet used to the elastic) they would be ok for all day. I might even put in a thin insert to give a little cushion on the soles if I wear them all day.
I got these to take with my to Vegas since we had a night on our feet and I'm not use to wearing heels these days. I didn't end up taking them and will be returning them. While they are a nice looking shoe, and they were well constructed, I found them folded and in their case to be a bit bulkier than I was hoping for, especially since the bottoms are thin bits of fabric. Mostly because of that I was worried about walking around on the concrete in these. I felt like they would shred pretty fast and possibly be only a one time wear, and at this price I expected a bit more. The upper part of the shoe itself was well done, though. The travel case was very nice, too. I did try taking the shoes out of the case to see if I could get them to fit in many different smaller purses I had, but they were still too bulky. I would say they took up about as much room as my regular ballet flats with normal soles. This might be due to the fact that it was covered in sequins. Perhaps if I had gone for something more plain they would have been easier to fit in a purse/clutch. Shoe sizing feels as though it has changed so much in the last two years, traditionally I was always around an 8.5 to a 9, but now days i'm anywhere from a 7-8.5 and I ordered a 7-8 and they fit my foot perfectly. I wear a normal size, but have a little more narrow of a foot. Had the soles been a little more substantial, and the shoe a little less bulky, i'd have been glad to have these on the trip (because my feet were killing me after standing for 3 hours straight).
I love the concept, the fit on any medium size purse, great for an afterparty comfort. I wore them in South Beach, walk around with them and they remain the same. 100% recommended.
Fit well, looked pretty but nothing more than a thin slipper sole that would have been of no comfort for walking, standing. Or dancing at my daughter's wedding reception.
My daughter wore these for 3 days on a cruise all over the ship, including walk around the deck every night and they held up great!
Cute carrying bag and shoes. The color almost goes with any wear.
I bought these to be used as Dorothy's ruby slippers for a Halloween costume. They are very comfortable however they do run small.
