These Supportive, Pain-free $22 Flats Don't Cause Blisters and 'Need No Breaking In,' According to Shoppers

When you're traveling, comfortable footwear will take you far, whether you're spending the day on a walking tour or rushing through a busy airport. While sneakers are a no-brainer for comfort and walkability, sometimes you need something a little dressier. That's where ballet flats come in. A pair of slip-on flats will offer a polished look, while remaining easy on your feet when you're on the go. Luckily, shoppers have found a winner in a pair from Amazon Essentials, which start at just $22.

The Amazon Essentials Belice Ballet Flats are made from soft faux leather with an elastic lining that provides a secure fit and still helps them to remain easy to slip on and off. A faux suede interior feels soft on the feet and provides just enough arch support for comfortable everyday wear without making the flats feel bulky. In addition, a rubber sole adds cushioning and makes them durable. And since they are flexible and can be rolled up, it's easy to pack the flats in your luggage, or even your backpack or purse to ensure that you always have a pair of comfy shoes on you. The flats have a wide size range of 5 to 15, including half sizes up to 12.5 and wide options, so you're bound to find a perfect fit.

The shoes are available in 37 colors, including neutral options like black and camel faux leather, as well as dressier styles like black patent and metallic rose gold. You'll also find faux suede finishes, snake and leopard prints, and bright colors, such as bright pink and royal blue. Whether you're looking for simple flats you can wear everyday to work, on your next trip, or to an event, you'll be able to find a pair that fits your style.
