Oh My God, I'm literally cringing at the image.


There is one exception though, if they're actually a ballet dancer and they're dancing ballet then that'd perfectly fine. All those muscles make sort of transform the shoes, and they're not a fashion accessory they're a working tool.

i know wat shoes ur talking about, but i wouldnt call them ballet flats, they're more canvas flats/slip ons. U see guys wearing navy or white ones in clubs all the time. The closest looking image to them i can find is this, http://shoeking.com/51809bl.JPEG (but they are a bit different from this image)
In my opinion they look quite good if worn right (as in wat is worn with them, like the jeans and shirt).

Um... aren't they like those Chinese slippers that Jackie Chan used to wear in kung fu movies? If not then no.

that's definately not a ballet flat, and that's what men over the age of 50 wore in like... the 70s?

Not cool. These 'male ballet flats' had better be spectacular, or I'm dismissing them as a joke.

If they do end up making girly ballet flats for guys, I'm buying myself a pair! Omg, shoes in my size!

If you're talking about those canvas shoes that the electroey types wear clubbing without socks, they look fine.

Hardly the place to ask for fashion advice :S

I've seen them low-flat sneakers around lots. They're pretty cool. It's like the new sneaker for some crowds of people.

They're fine.

^What?
This IS the place to ask for fashion advice. There are a lot of people very clued up on fashion on this site.

For me, I say no. Maybe in Harajuku, but probably not in the Aussie club scene.

What exactly is a ballet flat?

I categorise shoes into boots and not boots.
