The outsole of these shoes is made out of a lightweight synthetic material so you will not have to worry about your shoes slowing you down or holding you back. The rubber compound that makes up the sole is designed to be able to take quite the beating, giving you long-lasting durability so you will not have to worry about them wearing out on you too quickly.

The FitFlop Superballerina Glitzy shoes have a platform of about an inch with a heel that measures on average of an inch and a half, giving you just a little extra height while you are wearing them which many women appreciate.

Midsole

The midsole of the FitFlop Superballerina Glitzy shoes is made with SupercomFF footbed technology to make sure that you get phenomenal comfort, great shock absorption, and an amazing amount of arch support. The feature soft and flat cushioning at the front of your foot to allow your foot to spread out. It ensures that your feet stay in as much contact with the midsole as possible to help reduce the amount of pressure you are putting on your feet. You will also get to take advantage of firm cushioning under your heel for some extra comfort and support. These slippers offer an arched footbed with a seamless built-in arch contour, which is found in many of FitFlops shoes, to give you some extra support under your arches which many customers love.

Uppers

The uppers of the FitFlop Superballerina Glitzy flats are made out of leather and have a microfiber lining inside of them to give you a soft and comfortable in-shoe feel while you are out and about. The soft liner and the mesh footbed work together to ensure that you have a decent amount of ventilation in your foot chamber to help ensure that your feet are going to stay both cool and dry. Since the air is able to get into the shoes it can help cool your feet down, especially on warmer days. At the same time, the ventilation will help allow any sweat from your feet to evaporate quickly and efficiently and leave the foot chamber, keeping you dry and promoting a healthier environment for your feet.

Weight

When it comes to your footwear of choice you are going to want to try to find something that is going to be relatively lightweight. There is no need to walk around all day with extra weight attached to your ankles if it can be avoided, that will only hold you back and slow you down. There are some exceptions where lighter is not always better, but in the case of casual flats like these, the goal is to not have a lot of added weight. The good thing is, they are designed to be super lightweight which is very much appreciated by many customers, especially those who have to spend a lot of time on their feet. Unfortunately, there is not any information on the exact weight of these shoes but there do not appear to be any complaints in that department and customers are satisfied with how they feel on their feet.

Style

Customers are extremely happy with the look and style of these great shoes. They have a slip-on design with elastic goring panels to help make sure that the shoes go on easily and stay on without a problem. Even though they are considered to be ballet flats, they have a platform of about an inch and a heel of an inch and a half, giving you a little height in them. They are available in a couple of different color options so you are sure to find something that will best suit your style and personality. Customers can choose between black, gold, midnight navy, nude, spice, chocolate brown, denim, or black foil snake print. Some of the designs are solid colors while others have a textured look to them. You are sure to find something that you love.

As long as you get the correct fit, you will not have to worry about uncomfortable and irritating chafing that can cause you get get nasty blisters on your feet while you are wearing them.

Support

When it comes to what you put on your feet you are going to want to try to find something that is going to give you an adequate amount of support for the task at hand. It is to be expected that you would need more support for running shoes than you might for a pair of ballet flats. That being said, even though you will not have the security you need to do running and such, you will have plenty for your everyday normal wear.

The shoes have a slip-on design but there is elastic goring on the panels to help you slip them on easily, while at the same time ensuring they will not fall off very easily. Rest assured, you will still get a locked in and secure fit with these slippers. No need to feel like your feet are wobbling around inside your shoe while you are wearing these.

When it comes to arch support, you will get a decent amount while your feet are residing in these flats. The footbed is anatomically arched to give you the perfect amount of padding under your arches to give you the support you need where you need it.

Fit

When it comes to your shoes you are going to want to ensure that you find something that is going to give you the perfect fit. You want to find a pair of shoes that are going to fit you snugly and securely. You want them to be tight enough that they are not going to slip and slide around inside of your shoes, or worse, fall out of them altogether. At the same time, you do not want them to be too tight that they are going to dig into your feet or squish your toes causing you unnecessary discomfort or pain. You are going to want to find that happy medium for the perfect fit.

According to many customers, the FitFlop Superballerina Glitzy shoes are running a little on the big size so they recommend that you purchase a smaller size. Additionally, they are pretty wide, especially in the heel so if you have narrow feet they might not be the best fit for you. Unfortunately, one of the biggest problems customers have with these shoes is the odd sizing conventions. They only have a limited amount of half sizes so that can become a problem for a lot of customers.

If you are unsure or you want to double check, you can always take a quick peek at a sizing chart. It is better to make sure and get the correct size the first time than to assume you know and be wrong, having to deal with the hassle of returning an ill-fitting pair of shoes.

Flexibility

Flexibility is important in your shoes. You want to make sure that you have the freedom to move your feet around as much as possible while still getting the support and stability you need in them. As for this product, you will get that flexibility, no need to feel like your movements are being restricted, they bend with your feet with each step that you take. Both the leather uppers and the sole of the shoes are designed to move and bend with the natural movements of your feet.

Durability

When you are shopping around for a pair of shoes you are going to want to make sure that you find something that is going to last. You do not want to spend your hard earned money on what you think is a great pair of shoes only to have them fall apart after only a couple months, forcing you to spend even more money to replace them. The FitFlop Superballerina Glitzy flats have a relatively high price tag, but they are also highly durable. Customers have had no problems with these shoes suffering from premature wear and tear and had no need to replace them for quite a while.
