Elsa Ballet Flats with Memory Foam Insole
How adorable are these ballet flats for summer? The beige mesh with the little stone details all over is a very trendy style at the moment.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, it would be a crime if I didn’t include my all-time favorite pair of white sneakers in this post about comfortable shoes.
