What is Ballet flat?
{{for|shoes used by ballet dancers|Ballet shoe|Pointe shoes}} [[File:Table full of ballerina shoes.jpg|thumb|right|230px|Multiple ballet flats]] '''Ballet flats''' are derived from soft [[ballet]] slippers, having very thin [[heel]]s or the appearances of no heel at all. The style often features a ribbon-style binding around these flats' low top areas. Some ballet flats are open [[toe]]d. The essence of the ballet flat has been on since at least the 15th or 16th century. They're worn primarily by [[women]], although [[men]] may wear them too. They went out of fashion during the 18th and 19th century, but took off again after [[Audrey Hepburn]] wore the shoes in 1957's ''Funny Face''. {{performing-arts-stub}} [[Category:Ballet]] [[Category:Footwear]]
