I did not think Ii would ever warm up to the ballet flats trend, because I don’t really favor soft and pretty fashion. But now that so many designers have edged up their ballet flats designs to include studs, spikes, safety pins, stones, big buckles and more, I’m totally on board with the trend. These tough-looking, edgy ballet flats will work well with everything from denim jeans to evening gowns. Besides you will be comfortable wearing these low-to-the ground shoes.
