Meadow Point Slipper - Farn

Comfortable and stylish.

These knit ballet flats are easy to slip on and look more dressed up than sneakers without having to commit to heels. The color goes with just about anything, so I don’t have to think too hard about pairing them with an outfit. They’re simple and clean on the foot.I did have rubbing on one heel, but that’s specific to me. I injured my Achilles tendon as a child and have a raised scar on that foot. That spot was getting irritated while the other heel was completely fine. Once I put a bandage over the scar, the rubbing stopped. If you don’t have a sensitive spot there, you may not deal with that at all.I’ve worn them without socks for a full workday, and by the end of the day my feet were done. They’re very minimal underfoot, so you do feel the ground more than you would in something with cushioning. Now I only wear them on days when I know I won’t be walking a lot, and I pair them with no show socks for a little extra buffer.One thing I do like is that they’re flexible enough to fold up and toss into a bag. If I change shoes while I’m out, they don’t take up much space. They’re lightweight and barely noticeable when you’re carrying them, which makes them practical as a backup shoe.

This pair of shoes is pretty great! The material is woven, which means it'll adapt a little bit if you have extra wide spots (like a bunion or corns). I'm a 7-7.5, but need a wider toe box to fit in a 7 usually. I got these in a 7.5.The shoes came with 2 sets of insoles. One was just a flat woven insole. The other was a shaped foam insert with some arch support. With only one pair of insoles, the 7.5 was too roomy around my ankles, like I'd be accidentally stepping out of them by the end of the day. But with both sets of insoles in the shoe, they were snug (almost too snug, but the woven fabric will adjust after I wear them a bit).I'm on my feet all day long as a teacher, so I prefer flats to heels and closed shoes vs open toe or mules/clog style. Easier to run after small children. While I have a giant stash of standard, round toe ballet flats, sometimes you just want something a little more fashionable, you know? These have that little extra something, with the pointed toe and asymmetrical detail.As for comfort, trying them on around my house, they seem on par with my Born ballet flats. Or Aerosoles. They also have a lovely extra detail around the inside of the heel, to provide protection against rubbing there (see photo). The sole construction combined with insoles seems much sturdier than cheap flats from 🎯 or 🧱mart.We have 2 feet of snow here, so I can't wear them yet (and since I got them as part of the Vine reviewer program I don't want to wait weeks to leave a review). But I'll update my review if they prove to have serious flaws once I'm able to properly try them out!

Really like these knit flats. The unique cut of the upper makes them stand out among the other similar styles.The memory foam insoles are lovely and feel comfortable. They are not fixed in the shoe so can be removed easily if desired.They come with a second pair of insoles. I am thinking these would help to fill out the shoe width for narrow feet (place them under the memory foam top insole) but I have a wider foot and didn't need them.The color is a great neutral for any season. The style can be dressed up for office or down with jeans/shorts.One item to note - knitting on the upper appears a bit jagged, but this is common with "fully fashioned" knits of all kinds, like armholes on sweaters. It might also be an intentional design choice, not sure. Check photos in case you prefer a different look.The soles don't have much traction so dry/ indoor wear is probably best.I'll update with a comment on longevity and comfort over time. I'm a very happy customer and will likely come back for more colors with this style.
