Foldable flats from Fit in Clouds, Aftersole, Yosi Samra, and Citislips
Trending now is the notion of stashing a folding ballerina flat in our bag, desk drawer, or even in the glove compartment of our car-- collapsible and cute flats to be at the ready when we need help to take a load off our too-fabulous-to-function feet.

Haven’t you raced from an event to dinner and just can’t keep up your regular speed in skyscraper heels? Did you underestimate the “first time wearing’ comfort of your brand new shoes? Face it, schlepping from airport terminal to airport terminal in heels is really a no-fun zone- not to mention putting your boots back on to use the airplane loo.
That’s why back-up ballerinas that collapse into next-to-nothing are the new big thing.
We’ve road tested folding flats from Cityslips and Fit In Clouds, plus a roll-up style from Aftersoles-- all have soles said to be sturdy enough for city streets and certainly would come to the rescue when compactly tucked inside our purse or carry-on bag. Yosi Samra Fold-up Ballet Flats are another option and come in both leather and suede for more of a ‘real’ shoe look.

I actually purchased 2 pairs of Cityslips - I love them!!!!! They are so fashionable that I sometimes choose to wear them all day! This style is especially nice because it looks just like a regular flat yet is so comfortable. The the expandable shoe bag is also a great idea....(a great way to get those painful necessities home) I never thought I would see the day that a shoe and bag can fit in the smallest of purses.....A great idea for the woman on the go! May it be parties, work or travel.....
