Baila Ballet Flat

I like that the leather material is soft. Heel height is perfect for me. Love the color too. However, the insole is not comfortable, but to be fair, this type of shoe rarely has comfortable insoles, and I have high arches - can be remedied by cheap orthotics from Amazon! But what I hated about this is the clickity-clackity sounds that it makes when walking. I made a mistake in trying it on a soft surface and failed to check how hard the soles are.

After having seen a number of reviews complaining that these shoes run small, I decided to size up one. I typically wear a US 9 or EU 40. I purchased these in a 41. My feet are on the wider side of normal and the width feels comfortable. Despite both shoes being marked as size 41, I noticed that my left heel kept slipping out and that I had more space in the left toe box than the right. Unfortunately, I had already removed the tag before realizing that the left shoe is about 1/2" longer than the right. Get it together Mango.

I am a true 7.5 and I do not have wide feet. These are both small and narrow in the shoe as well as toe box. I would have liked to try a size 8 but only 8.5 is available and I’m afraid with how long and narrow that toe box already is it won’t really fix the issue and will just look like strangely long elf shoes. It’s a shame, I was really excited about these /: the leather is soft and the shape looked dainty in photos. But something about them felt a little cheap in person. Packaging was a little squished. At first I was worried the shoe was damaged but the leather stretches out once you put them on.

Cute color, true to picture. I usually wear 6.5 in Mango shoes. But for this shoe I ordered a 7.5 which did fit. For reference I usually wear US brands size 7 in most dress shoes. I’m not going to keep this pair of flats because the leather is on the thinner side and I can slightly see my big toe causing a slight indentation.
