  • My Favorite Theme Park Shoes

    If you know me, you know I love visiting my favorite theme parks and I’ve been searching for a pair of shoes that keeps me comfy all day while also looking cute. Sneakers just aren’t my vibe! I got a Tieks coupon code from one of their promotions and bought a pair of their bright Mustard Yellow flats. Now, you’re probably wondering why anyone would wear a pair of ballet flats ALL DAY LONG. But I had read a handful of Tieks reviews to make sure they were worth it and saw others had also worn them to theme parks so I thought I would give them a try.

    I am happy to report that they weren’t wrong. No blisters, no stink, no discomfort, just happy feet at the end of the day. For me, Tieks were more comfortable than any pair of Nike, Adidas or All Birds that I own. Plus, I loved that I was able to take super cute pics while I was there since my outfit actually looked nice. Highly recommend these comfy shoes for all-day wear.

  • From Casual to Formal

    One of my favorite things about Tieks is how effortlessly they transition from everyday wear to dressier occasions. Whether I’m running errands in my Chestnut brown ballet flats or dressing up for a holiday party in my favorite pink flats, Tieks always add the perfect touch of style and comfort.

    I recently wore my Ballerina Pink ballet flats from morning to night, styling them with jeans and a sweater for brunch and errands then changing into a satin midi dress for a holiday party. They were the perfect styling choice for the whole day and kept me comfortable too! When most people think of changing an outfit from day to night, they probably swap the shoes from something flat to a heel, but I switch the outfit and keep the shoes! Tieks’ soft leather and sleek design give them an elegant touch, and I loved how they add a subtle pop of color to everyday and dressier outfits.

  • Breaking In Your Tieks: My Experience

    When I first bought my Tieks, I was excited to wear them but I was also a little nervous about the break-in period. I’d heard that some people have trouble with discomfort during that phase, but luckily, I found a few tricks to make the process faster and more comfortable. Assuming I’m not the only one who could use these tips, I thought I would share them. 

    1. I didn’t wear my Tieks all day on the first try. I started by wearing them around the house for short periods. Just a couple of hours at a time gave my feet the chance to adjust to the leather without causing any discomfort. By gradually increasing wear time, I avoided any blisters or sore spots. The Tieks FAQs suggested wearing them for a few days for the leather to fully mold to my feet. That’s exactly what happened! After a few wears, the leather stretched to my feet and my Tieks became incredibly soft and comfortable.
    2. To speed up the process of softening the leather, I applied a gentle leather conditioner once I confirmed that I had the correct size. This helped loosen up the material and made my Tieks feel more flexible, especially around the toe area. Just a small amount rubbed in gently worked like a charm! I have a classic leather style, but just be sure you read the label of whatever you’re using to make sure it suits the style you own. 
    3. If you’re having trouble with your fit, I highly recommend reaching out to Tieks customer service for tips. I contacted Tieks Help through their online chat, and they were super helpful. They recommended that I wear thick socks with my flats around the house to help stretch the leather without causing damage, and that did the trick to get my Tieks to the level of comfort I’ve heard so many people rave about.

  • A Tiek Blue Bride

    When I started searching for my wedding shoes, I knew I wanted something comfortable, elegant, and timeless. I love the look of heels, but I also wanted to actually enjoy my wedding day without worrying about sore feet. After reading about how so many people regretted the torture of heels on their wedding day, that’s when I decided I wanted to wear flats. I found Tieks wedding ballet flats, and they were truly the best decision I made for my bridal look!

    From walking down the aisle to dancing at the reception, my wedding ballerina flats kept me comfortable the entire day. Unlike heels that I would’ve kicked off after an hour, my Tieks felt light, supportive, and cushioned—no pain, no blisters, just pure comfort! I was one happy bride. 🙂

    I chose a pair of white ballet flats, and they looked absolutely stunning with my gown. They were simple yet elegant, allowing my wedding dress and flats to complement each other perfectly. The bottoms even have blue on them so it’s the perfect “something blue.” Whether your dress is lace, satin, or tulle, Tieks add a classic touch without overpowering your overall look. As a bonus, unlike traditional bridal heels that I’d probably never wear again, I’ve continued wearing my wedding ballet flats long after the big day. Every time I slip them on, I’m reminded of every magical moment from the most special day of our lives. 

    If you’re a bride looking for wedding ballerina flats that combine style, comfort, and quality, I can’t recommend Tieks enough. They let me enjoy every second of my wedding day without any discomfort, and that’s priceless!

  • Pricey But Worth It 

    I’ll admit, I hesitated before buying my first pair of Tieks designer flats. Spending over $100 on a pair of foldable flats seemed like a big investment. But after wearing them almost daily for the past few years for work, travel, and errands, I can confidently say—Tieks are worth it!

    The moment I slipped on my black flats, I could tell these were different from any other flats I’d owned. The cushioned insoles and flexible leather molded to my feet, making them comfortable from day one. Unlike cheaper flats that leave my feet aching after a few hours, I can wear my Tieks all day without discomfort. The craftsmanship of these designer flats is top-notch. The soft Italian leather looks sleek and professional, and even after years of wear, they still look polished and stylish. I wear them with every work outfit, from dress pants to skirts, and they elevate my look effortlessly.

    I also love how foldable flats like Tieks fit easily into my bag or suitcase. Whether I’m traveling for work or heading to an event, I always keep a pair with me. They take up almost no space and are a lifesaver when I need a quick, comfortable shoe change. If you’re on the fence and wondering, “Are Tieks worth it?”—the answer is YES. They’re stylish, durable, and the most comfortable black flats I’ve ever owned. I’ve had mine for years, and they still feel and look amazing. If you want designer flats that truly deliver, Tieks are worth every penny!

  • Sweaty Feet, But Not Stinky Tieks

    This may be TMI, but I have really sweaty feet. Like it doesn’t even need to be hot and they sweat (a very unfortunate problem to have, I know). Finding ballet flat shoes, especially leather ones, that don’t start to smell after a few wears has always been a struggle—until I found Tieks. I’ve worn my pair of their women’s white flat shoes for years and shockingly, they have never smelled bad, even after long days on my feet!

    One of the biggest reasons my Tieks ballet flat shoes stay fresh is their high-quality leather construction. Unlike synthetic flats that trap moisture, the soft Italian leather allows my feet to breathe, preventing that dreaded sweaty shoe smell. Whenever I feel like my Tieks need a refresh, a quick wipe-down does the trick. I found that a simple leather shoe cleaning routine with a damp cloth and mild soap keeps them looking and feeling fresh. 

    With other flats, I used to rely on odor sprays, insoles, or even baby powder to combat sweat, which honestly was so embarrassing if I ever had to take my shoes off anywhere. With Tieks, I haven’t needed any of that! They remain odor-free on their own, even after all-day wear. If you ever need tips on keeping your white flat shoes clean or have any other concerns, the Tieks Help team is super responsive or you can check out Tieks FAQs.

    I know I am not alone in the sweaty feet department, so for anyone with the same issue who struggles to find ballet flat shoes that don’t smell, Tieks are a total game-changer! Comfortable, stylish, and odor-resistant—they’re the best investment I’ve made in footwear!

  • 5 Years And Still Going Strong 

    I’m a very busy mom and I need shoes that can keep up with my nonstop days—from school drop-offs and grocery runs to work meetings and family outings. I’ve owned my Tieks designer flats for over five years, and they’ve truly stood the test of time! When I say these are the most comfortable flats I’ve ever worn, I mean it.

    Most of the black flats I’ve tried in the past have fallen apart within a year of regular use. I’ve owned cheapy flats from Walmart and Target, and even tried other luxury brands like Tory Burch and Chanel to truly test the difference (I’ll wear whatever is comfortable regardless of price tag). After five years of near-daily wear, my Tieks are the only ones that still look amazing. The high-quality leather, sturdy soles, and exceptional craftsmanship make these designer flats worth every penny.

    Whether chasing after my kids or standing for hours at events, my Tieks never leave my feet aching. I even wear them for 10+ hour days without ever needing to switch to sneakers! The cushioned insoles and flexible outsoles make them the most comfortable flats I’ve ever owned. I started with a classic pair of women’s black flats, but I recently treated myself to the gold ballet flats for a fun color addition. Whether I’m wearing jeans and a tee or an evening dress, my Tieks always look chic and put-together.

  • Tieks For Wide Feet – My Honest Review

    As someone with wide feet, finding women’s flats that fit comfortably without feeling too tight can be a challenge. Many brands run small or narrow, making it hard for me to find that perfect fit. After reading multiple Tieks reviews, I decided to take the plunge and shop ballet flats from Tieks—and I’m so glad I did! These flats run true to size and are surprisingly comfortable, even for wider feet.

    One of my biggest concerns when I bought my Cardinal Red ballet flats was whether they would be too snug. Many flats tend to pinch around my toes, but Tieks flats are made with soft, supple Italian leather that doesn’t dig or pinch. While they started out a bit snug in the width, they stretched to accommodate my wide feet, giving me a perfect fit within just a few wears.

    Some brands require sizing up for wide feet, but I stuck with my normal size and found that Tieks accommodated my feet perfectly. If you’re in between sizes, Tieks reviews often recommend going with the larger size, but for me, my usual size worked well. As a bonus, Tieks are incredibly stylish in addition to being the most comfortable flats I’ve ever worn. I can’t wait to add more colors to my collection!

  • Breaking in my Tieks

    If you’ve ever bought a new pair of ballet flats, you know that there’s always a dreaded break-in period—blisters, pinching, and discomfort—before they finally feel wearable. That was not the case at all with my Tieks foldable flats. I was fully prepared to break them in, but to my surprise, there was no painful adjustment period. These comfortable ballet flats felt great right out of the box, and they only got better with each wear!

    From the moment I slipped on my Tieks, I could tell they were different from other ballet flats. They felt so soft. The buttery leather hugged my feet immediately and the cushioned insoles provided all-day support. As I continued wearing them, the leather started to mold to my feet and I found myself forgetting to take off the flats at the end of the day. 

    I’m now on my third pair. There are so many colors to choose from, but don’t worry, if you ever have questions about sizing or colors, you can always contact Tieks customer service. They’re incredibly responsive and helpful! Plus they offer free shipping and returns so there’s no risk if you want to experience the buttery softness yourself.

  • Teaching in Tieks

    As a teacher, I spend countless hours on my feet, moving from classroom to classroom, standing during lessons, and walking throughout the school day. Finding the right women’s casual shoes that provide both comfort and style was a challenge—until I discovered Tieks flats. I found them through a teacher’s promo they ran a few years back, and these women’s flats have changed my life, allowing me to stay comfortable all day without sacrificing an ounce of style. 

    Teaching requires a shoe that can handle hours of standing and walking, and my Tieks flats never fails to deliver. The cushioned insoles provide excellent support, while the flexible soles move with my feet, reducing fatigue. Unlike other women’s casual shoes, Tieks don’t pinch, rub, or cause discomfort, even after a full day of teaching. As a teacher to A LOT of littles, I want to look polished without wearing uncomfortable heels. Can you imagine chasing a bunch of kids around in your heels? Yea, me either. Tieks offer a sleek and stylish design that pairs well with everything from dress pants to skirts and even jeans on casual Fridays. With a variety of colors to choose from, I can easily match my flats to all of my outfits while maintaining a professional look.

    I am constantly on the move, and I need shoes that can keep up. Tieks flats are made from high-quality materials that hold up well, even with daily wear. I’ve had my first pair of Tieks for a few years now, and they still look as nice as some of my newer pairs. Unlike cheaper flats that wear out quickly, my Tieks have lasted through multiple school years without losing their shape. While Tieks flats are an investment, they are worth every penny. All of my colleagues are probably sick of me by now, but I just can’t stop raving about the comfort, durability, and stylish design!
