Detailed Review
Comfort: One of the standout features of the Skechers Cleo Ballet Flat is its Air Cooled Memory Foam cushioned insole. This innovative technology ensures a plush feel underfoot, making long hours on your feet more bearable. However, keep in mind that while the overall padding is impressive, some users might find the arch support lacking.
Design: The elegant scalloped edges combined with the nearly seamless knit design make these flats a chic addition to any wardrobe. The Dark Taupe color adds versatility, allowing you to pair them easily with various outfits, from casual jeans to professional attire.
Durability: Although the material is lightweight and comfortable, it also raises concerns regarding durability over time. While the flexible rubber outsole provides decent traction, heavier daily use may affect its lifespan.
Maintenance: The fact that these flats are machine washable is a significant advantage. Simply throw them in the washing machine on a gentle cycle with cold water, and air dry them afterward. This feature helps maintain cleanliness and extends the life of your footwear.

I was headed to a conference where there would be a ton of walking and needed a shoe that was completely comfortable, versatile and stylish, and this fit the bill! I wore these for 7 straight days and, while I always carry Band-aids with me, I never needed a one! The only criticism I have is that on Day 6, I was walking on cobblestone streets all day, and they are thin-soled, so perhaps not the best option for that. But within the conference center and along regular streets and sidewalks, my feet could not have been more pleased! Oh, also worth mentioning- based on reviewed of them running big, I bought both 7.5 and 8… and they were the exact same size! So, yes, some inconsistencies with size, but since I took one pair back, all was well with the world! Very happy to have purchased!
I wear an 8 1/2 wide normally and it’s a bit loose. Might have needed an 8 wide. Shoe is very comfortable and stretchy. If you do not have a wide foot, I would not order these shoes.
Very cute and look to be comfortable as all my skechers are. However, I ordered a size 10 wide. I normally wear a size 10 and if I see a wide I like to try them. Unfortunately, these were not only extra wide they were extra long as well. I had to return them. I did reorder a size 10 and hoping they will fit.
The only thing I don’t like about the shoe is that the bottoms wore out very quickly. I bought them last April and here it is December and the black rubber is almost gone but I’m still wearing them because I like them.
Too big. I wear 10 wide and usually they still need to be stretched. I have a pain condition that makes my left foot swollen on and off. These are the first shoes that are too wide and I need a reg 10. But the shoes are nice and comfy
My office location recently changed from Long Island City to Midtown Manhattan, NYC. I was commuting by car back in Long Island City, so I wore black fancy sneakers that didn’t draw much attention (the sneaker part could be hidden by my work pants) and changed into my stilettos for business meetings. When I first realized that my new commute would entail 2 buses (with 1 being a busy tuna-can like NYC MTA bus), I realized that I needed a comfortable middle ground, and less bags to carry; shoes that look professional and don’t require my stilettos. I found Cleo Skechers online and absolutely fell in love with the lace look! I can affirm that they are comfy, practical, are the perfect fit, and the memory foam makes a busy stressful work day so much more relaxing, feeling like you’re walking on air. I chose black and they are absolutely perfect for the office! I will say that, like any new shoes, these shoes do take about a week to break in, so I suggest making sure you have bandaids for blisters; however, once broken in there is not a single bad thing I can say about these shoes. I absolutely love them! Professional without any discomfort and they eliminate the quick commute and office shoe swap. The fact that they can be machine washed is another bonus. These are truly a must-have, whether you’re in the office or planning on a nice day out with a lot of walking!
Loved these shoes! I'd buy them again.
I was very happy to receive these shoes today. They are absolutely true to size for me I'm a 7, bought a 7... great fit. They are made very well and are perfect to take with me on my upcoming airline trip. Not too flat and are made with memory foam and feel very comfortable. Very cute too and will go with anything. Glad I purchased them. May go back and order other colors.
