Reformation Bethany Ballet Flats Prove Comfortable for 20,000 Steps in Paris

Preparing for a recent French vacation, the author selected Reformation’s Bethany ballet flats, a model she already trusted from work and weekend wear in New York City. Over a marathon day in Paris she covered 20,000 steps, visiting the Eiffel Tower, Musée d’Orsay and Fondation Louis Vuitton, and found the shoes remained comfortable and supportive. Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale now offers the flats at a discount of almost $100, with three color options—black suede, tan suede and ivory leather, though the white version has sold out in many sizes.

The design includes an adjustable buckle for added shine and security, and the shoes run true to size, according to customer reviews. Celebrities such as Aubrey Plaza and Alix Earle have been seen wearing the Bethanys, and shoppers highlight their lightness, lack of blisters, and versatile look.
