Question : How do these Dewflex ballet flats compare to the Payless ones?
Answer : Dewflex ballet flats were essentially all I wore on my very wide feet (other than New Balance sneakers). These are not *quite* as stretchy, but they work. I think they’re a little bit better made, too. Get them!
Question : Are these Dewflex ballet flats machine washable?
Answer : I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it, however, one of mine somehow got tangled in with some laundry and went through a normal wash (warm wash/cool rinse). I let it air dry. It was absolutely fine. In fact, the pair later got really gritty and I threw them both in on purpose. I’m still wearing them a year later.
Question : Can the insoles of these Dewflex ballet flats be removed?
Answer : No. The insoles can’t be removed.
Question : Can these Dewflex ballet flats be stepped into or do you have to bend over and stretch the back of the shoe over your heel?
Answer : I just step right into mine. They are very comfortable and feel great. I have wide feet and they don’t fee too narrow. I would assume if you get the right size they should slide right on for you too.
Question : Are these Dewflex ballet flats foldable?
Answer : Yes, they are foldable and I will add very comfortable.
Question : Do the backs of these Dewflex ballet flats dig into the back of your Achilles tendon? Is the back very stiff or fairly pliable?
Answer : Does not dig into my Achilles. The back is soft to me and comfortable.
