Cap Toe Ballet Flats

I have a soft spot for ballet flats – they’re both easy on the feet and I’d swear I was a ballerina (minus a few feet) when wearing them.  The cap toe just adds a punch of fashion — all the better.

And – a bit of history for you – cap toes began on men’s oxfords or brogues.  The cap-toed ballet flat is actually just a feminine nod to the classic men’s style.

I love these, I saw metal toes on lots of catwalks and thought they were so pretty.

I’m not the keenest on them, but still they’re so very comfy. Nice choices, xo!

I’d LOVE a pair of the metal toed beauties, but these are more in my budget! :)

Love the cap toe look but I’m worried that they’ll draw attention to my long, narrow feet. What do you think? Maybe a tone on tone pair like #10 would be less attention grabbing?
