    Default Looking for sparkly ballet flats for DD: what are Geox shoes like?

    DD has been asking for sparkly ballet shoes and I figured I'd get her some good ones to wear everyday (not just for dress up). Does anyone have these Geox shoes (they're on sale on amazon.com), and do they run as narrow as they look?

    DD has average width shoes, but once wore Stride Rite narrow shoes I has grabbed at a yard sale and had the worst blisters. I don't want to get anything too narrow.

    Feedback on Geox or any other suggestions for sparkly ballet flats with good soles/support would be welcome!

    I don't know anything about Geox other than they are highly recommended on this board. My DD has a pair of "glitter ballerina shoes" (that's how she refers to them) that I bought her at Target. She loves them. She's had them for almost a year now and they've held up well.

    Those are adorable - and less than $8! How come I haven't seen them at our Target? We need to make a trip there before Halloween so I'll look! Thanks!

    My DD had those as well, but in silver. She loved them and wore them to death, but I don't think they have them at the B&M store anymore. We bought them at least a year ago, and they were on clearance at the time. I just bought her a pair of black sparkly shoes at Nordstrom Rack, they were Rachel brand I think. Cute, cheap, but not real comfy I was told .

    Geox is a GREAT brand! It's basically all DC wear. Width wise, the tennis shoes we get have run on the wide side. Both DC have wide feet, and Geox seems to fit them well. They'll probably be OK for your DD, but we've never even tried the ballet flat style.
