It’s official! J. Crew’s Ballet flats are our favorite shoe of the spring season!

Beautifully styled in Italian leather [of course!], J. Crew ballet flats are manufactured in a family-run factory in Tuscany that has been making shoes for 30 years. The J. Crew footwear team “deliberated over every detail to ensure these ballet flats are the most comfortable you’ll ever wear.”

Design details include: adding more padding, an elastic top line, removing the shank and finishing them with an interior wedge so you’re not completely one with the ground.  The ballets also have a rubber sole so they can withstand an April shower.

J. Crew offers every style option of the ballet including: leather, suede, raffia, printed, glittered and studded! The Cece ballet flat is dubbed as their official “commuting shoe,” comfortably chic for a walk to work or an all-day sightseeing excursion of the East End.

Head to the J. Crew boutiques in Southampton and East Hampton to find these fab flats which start at an affordable $125, or shop the full Ballet Boutique on-line at:  http://www.jcrew.com/womens_feature/balletboutique.jsp
