Target Xhilaration ballet flats!
Permalink Closed

I have to give major props to these shoes. I've got the silver ones and when I first tried them on I thought they were soft and comfortable then, but I actually wore them out for the first time last night, and I'm am super impressed with how comfortable they really are when in use. They did not rub my feet in any way by the time I had gotten home (after several hours), and I felt like they were molded to my feet, as if they had become one with them (okay, that was cheesy, I know). This is a big thing for me since most slip-on flats always give me blisters.

So I guess for anyone who might have considered getting them, I say run to your nearest Target and buy them Plus, they're only $12.99, so the price is also wonderful.

I might just have buy a tan pair also....

These are really cute. I almost bought them, but my feet must be shaped oddly...in every size I tried on (even the ones too big for me), my big toe created some kind of lump in the top. They are cute and comfortable, though.

My toes create bumps at the toes too, so I don't think you're alone in that! I decided not to worry about it though...

Can you do me a huge favor and if you still have your box can you put the sku number on here for the silver, that way I can find out what stores near me have the silver, we only have pink, black and tan...:( Thank you so much! Any Q's pm me.

Yup, still got the box! The barcode number is: 9096002982. There's a tiny 4 on the left side of the barcode and a tiny 9 on the right side also, so if those are needed then the full number is: 490960029829.

The style is also called "Annie".

Hope that helps!

I also picked up a pair of the gold ones! Do they stretch at all? My feet feel a *little* cramped in them but i'm wondering if they'll stretch a little bit once I wear them...

SheilsBabe,


I think they do stretch out a tiny bit.  Not enough to make you need a smaller size, but just to give a little more room for your toes.  When I first got mine, I was debating whether or not I needed to go up to the next half size because I wasn't sure if they were too snug, but after wearing them out one night, they felt a little bit looser than when I had first put them on.

I'm dying to wear mine again because I love them, but it's still in the 30's here, so it would be too cold (we had a rare 60 degree day the day I actually wore mine...).


They're as comfortable as slippers

I have worn my tan ones every day since Friday a week ago & am about to wear my silver ones to dinner & shopping tonight! I am in a desperate search for the black as well - my DH is laughing at me for buying the same shoes in so many colors - that is so not like me. But i figure i will buy ballet flats anyway, may as well be $12.99 ones, not $90 ones!!!!!!

LOVE THEM!

I my silver pair, they're so comfy even after running around town all day it's crazy. The only thing I don't love is the synthetic materials...I have to powder my feet before I wear them so I don't sweat (maybe that's TMI). They became one with my feet too by the end of the day. I wish all shoes were this comfy. My favorite new shoe purchase of late and so cheap...yet so gratifying!


I bought and returned the black because they were a half size too big and I'm trying to be picky about the fit of my shoes.


I want the gold pair! I want the gold pair!

I feel so lucky to have found my gold pair. I had to go to 3 different Targets in one weekend to find them in my size. Yes, you can say I was very determined to find them.

I am so glad to know that there are other people out there like me that will drive all over the place for something from target... my store near me just got a new shipment and I got silver too!

I got the gold pair last week, and I am so glad that other people have toe bumps. I wasn't sure if i was buying a size too small. (although, i did buy a 10 and i could probably use an 11.) I bought a pair in gold and a pair of sandals with sequins. it was a good target day.

ha ha ha. I'm getting a little too obsessed with these shoes. Every time I go to Target, I walk straight to the shoe section to look at them. So far, I've bought three pairs in the last three weeks. Just got the pink ones today after seeing someone wearing them.
