Why would ballet shoes be in style at my friends high school?

She says that a lot of people have been wearing single sole, black ballet slippers. I know they're comfortable, but isn't that a lot of money for shoes that will wear out quickly if your wearing them to walk around school and outside? Why would this be in style? Do you think its a good idea?

I don't think it is actual ballet shoes we are talking about. I think we are talking about flats with thin rubber sole (or other durable material designed to wear outside). It is not the real ballet slipper you could wear to a ballet class. They only look somewhat close to ballet slippers, but in reality they are street shoes. You can buy those at any department store. Yeah, they look cute on some people.

If it was real actual ballet slippers - no, I wouldn't recommend them as a regular shoe to wear for everyone. This would be just silly - why don't we all start wearing socker boots, or skiing boots. These shoes are designed to help your body to perform a certain task. They are not designed to give your foot proper support when walking.

Because they're desperate for attention...no, I lied.
Because people obviously have no regard for money and are just in it to be cool.
i don't know where u live, but from where im from there extremely in style. you have to decide whats more important. how you look, or how much money you have.

i personally choose how you look. if you get them, just get non cheap ones so they don't wear out.

the new coach ones have laster me a a few months already.
I love my ballet slippers. You can actually buy them in many variations, some with a good sole that will last for quite a while, especially if the uppers are made of a good leather. They are soft, feminine shoes that are very versitile. I wear mine with poth pants and skirts.
the ballet slippers, aka flats, are designed to have long-lasting soles (to fit trends) and can be bought in almost any fashion store(including discount ones).

well, i personally think they are comfy and convenient (not to mention how cute they are), since you can dress them up or down and fit almost any occasion. it's a good idea if you like it, but if you don't, it's just a trend and you don't have to follow it.

No way are kids wearing actual ballet slippers to school! Those things really aren't that comfortable!
theyre probably just ballet flats, which are designed to look like ballet slippers but aren't actually and are built more durably for everyday wear. chanel has been making them since forever but by now everyone is. however, if this school is kind of out in the middle of nowhere, people may have seen the trend and copied it by wearing actual ballet slippers because they couldn't find the flats. they would wear out quickly, but theyre like, 25 dollars a pair, which is not really that much money for a pair of shoes. yeah, i dont know about actual slippers, but the ballet flat look is very much in style.
