Moreover, shoppers say they are the most versatile flats in the world. Obviously, that’s a huge claim, and I had to see it for myself.

Unboxing Tieks Ballet Flats
Unboxing my Tieks Ballet Flats presented me with much fun and excitement. First, the box is stunning and embellished with decorative jeweled beauty box toppers. Tieks come tightly folded into this stunning blue box and nestle there with a shoe bag you can carry in your handbag if you need a shoe swap.
In case you don’t know, every pair of Tieks comes packaged in a stunning blue box and topped with a topper. Historically, it was a flower, but in recent years, things have changed, adding a lovely topper for us to enjoy. They also release special seasonal toppers, too, and it’s so much fun.
Packaging is important to me, and I love it when companies pay attention to details and the entire unboxing experience. So far, so good! I enjoyed opening them and thinking of fun ways to use the stunning box topper.
Additionally, you’ll receive a pouch where you can stow away your Tieks. Designed to compress your Tieks to the size of your hand, this pouch makes it easier to take your foldable flats with you during travel or when you need extra space.
Even more fun is you’ll receive a Tieks foldable nylon tote. Each pair of Tieks comes with a reusable nylon tote in their signature Tiek Blue color. The tote unfolds into a travel bag, perfectly sized to store your favorite heels when you’re ready to switch into your comfortable Tieks flats.
My Experience – First Week
So, after opening my Tieks Ballet Flats, I wore them around the house, which I typically do when I get new shoes.
I ordered Aquarella Tieks and instantly fell in love with them. Inspired by the style of acquerello (Italian for watercolor), Aquarella Tieks are a bright bouquet of color that captures the whimsical romance of wildflowers beneath the summer sun.
Tieks applies layers of vivid paints and a natural water-induced gradient on fine leather that is then coated with a gloss finish and finely cut to create a refracted glisten. A wearable work of art, no two pairs of Aquarella are exactly alike.
Note: Natural lifting of the finely cut pattern may occur with wear.
- 100% premium, full-grain leather ballet flats
- Non-elasticized, cushioned back
- Non-skid rubber soles and comfortable cushioned instep
- Made of the finest Italian leathers and wearable all day, every day.
🥿 Sizing: Attention half sizes – The leather used in Aquarella Tieks can fit a bit more snugly, so Tieks recommend going up to the next full size. Of course, you can try your Tieks at home, and if they aren’t the perfect fit, they have an amazing exchange policy for pairs in their original condition!
Typically, I wear an 8 ½, so I ordered the size 9, and they fit perfectly! After wearing them for a few hours at home, I navigated to the store to give them a trial run.
Much to my surprise, my feet didn’t hurt, and I felt supported and comfortable in my new shoes. Tieks design molds to the foot and flex with it as you walk. This design also allows the shoes to fold and fit easily into a purse or suitcase, so comfort and style are always within arm’s reach.
Also, Tieks have built-in flexibility and feature a unique split-sole and flexible midsole. They also have thick, non-skid rubber outsole patches that provide traction and shock absorption to keep you grounded with every step.
Furthermore, they treat the brown leather midsole as flexible and durable, allowing you to fold and unfold them repeatedly. With over 70 Prints, Patents, Classics, and more, there are Tieks for every wardrobe and occasion.
Crafted from luxurious Italian leather and textiles, Tieks’ classic silhouette transitions seamlessly from day to night and season to season—so you never have to sacrifice style for comfort or vice versa.
Comfort, Style, and A Perfect Fit
You’ll discover that Tieks mold to your feet so you can have the perfect fit. The back of the shoe has a cushion rather than elasticized to ensure they’re never too tight on your heel. I love that feature!
The insoles feature advanced foam cushioning for all-day comfort and long-term wear. And because the back has a comfortable cushion, it ensures support on your Achilles and that they are never too right on your heel.
Of course, Tieks uses hand stitching and only uses full-grain leather. The insoles feature advanced foam cushioning for all-day comfort and long-term wear. All this and more goes into making Tieks Ballet Flats, and now I can fully understand why women love them and own multiple pairs.
