gap flats

I tried them on and they were pretty comfortable -- a little thin, but not as thin as the Target ones. I was bummed that they didn't come in half sizes. I am normally an 8 (but range from 7.5-9 depending on the shoe). The 8 was too small, and the 9 was too big.

I'm in the same boat as Halleybird - I'm mostly and 8.5, so the 8 felt small and the 9 felt big. I do think they run a little large, though, because I can normally fit into a 9 and the Gap 9's were big enough that I didn't feel comfortable buying them. I LOVE my Target ones, though, so if these are a little thicker, I would say go for it - they'll probably be even better!

I'm a 7.5 - 8 and the 7 was too small while the 8 was too big. Grr...

This sounds crazy, but I would worry about the leather tearing. It was extremely thin, and GAP shoes are not very well made. I had a pair of the suede flower flats from a couple of seasons ago, and the suede actually tore in three different places.

This might be different, but they seemed extremely flimsy IRL.

i'm wearing my black ones today. they seem to be constructed almost just like real ballet shoes--they are fairly flimsy, but they stretch out a LOT--you should buy them sort of tight (but obvs. the sole needs to be long enough) and they stretch out around the tops after 1 or 2 wearings.
