text: Cute as the dickens!  Although these shoes are called a &quot;Satin&quot; Ballet flat, the satin is matte, not shiny, which is good for my purposes.<br />Very stylish, but fit is quite snug and tight.  For instance:  I regularly wear an 8-1/2 medium shoe.  I ordered these in a size 9 and they fit fine, but still a tad snug all around.  They did arrive with that petroleum smell which other reviewers have also commented on, so I would suggest airing them out for a few days before wearing.  They're cute and they look expensive, as they have good design.  They are an elegant midnight-navy color.  I would recommend their purchase.
