Our review
This is not just an emergency backup to stuff in a bag for blister relief — DREAM PAIRS' foldable ballet flats are reviewed almost entirely as genuine, comfortable daily and work shoes, with a tri-layer cushioned insole that multiple reviewers specifically compare to walking on pillows. At 4.6 stars from nearly 4,900 ratings, 79% five-star, this is one of the better-reviewed shoes in this catalogue.
Real reviewers wear these to work every day, on their feet for full shifts, and on genuine walking days, not just as a spare pair tucked away for emergencies — though the included foldable storage bag does make them a smart travel or going-out backup too if that is what you want. The sole gets specific, repeated praise for grip and traction; several reviewers call out the non-slip bottom directly, including one who deliberately chose them for being "clumsy." They run true to size for most people, with wide-width options available.
The one genuine fit issue worth knowing, raised in detail by more than one reviewer, is the elastic around the foot opening. It grips firmly — by design, to stop the shoe slipping at the heel — but on some feet, especially in hot weather or with any tendency to swell, that grip can leave visible indentation marks and feel progressively tighter the longer the shoes are worn. If you have wider feet, swell during the day, or live somewhere warm, sizing up half a size is the fix several reviewers landed on after experiencing this firsthand.
For a genuinely comfortable, good-looking flat that holds up to regular wear at this price, these are hard to beat — just size accordingly if the snug elastic fit is likely to bother you.

FAQ

Is the sole slippery?
No — multiple reviewers specifically praise the grip and non-slip traction on the bottom.
Do they run true to size?
Mostly yes, but size up half a size if you have wider feet, swell during the day, or live somewhere warm, due to the snug elastic.

The elastic around the foot opening grips firmly to prevent heel slip, but on some feet this can leave visible marks and feel tighter over a long day.
