Since I will not be wearing ballet flats down cobblestone streets during Christmastime or on a hiking trail on some remote island, Tieks cost too darn much (as do the foldable flats from Tory Burch and Coach). However, I am looking for a pair of shoes to wear during specific travel situations (e.g. If you are the kind of person who wears ballet flats all day, every day, well then Tieks are probably worth the investment. With their pretty turquoise soles, presence on Pinterest and a seemingly endless supply of positive views, it is not too long before you start questioning why you do not already own a pair (or 12). It does not take too long when researching foldable flats to come across the brand, Tieks. With that in mind, I purchased three different pairs of foldable flats: I had no desire to replace my sturdier boots and sandals, but I figured it would not hurt to look into a foldable flat for certain travel situations. I really liked the idea of an easily packable shoe to wear on airplanes or slip on at night to go to dinner. However, when I read a review about the benefits of foldable flats in regards to travel, well now, that made me pause. Foldable flats + travelīallet flats are not my usual style so I have never been a connoisseur. Also, be sure to check out our post on choosing the right shoes for your trip. I highlight the pros and cons of each shoe and give my honest review and recommendations.

This product review compares three pairs of foldable flats that I used on my travels.
