    Store: Body Central

    Is It Worth It?: Ladies, if you wear heels every day then it's time to change up your sexy chick routine with a pair of comfy flats. The Body Central Knot Front ballet flats drop to just $7 when you use coupon code "SPRINGFREE", so you might want to pick up a pair in each of the 11 colors available. These Editors' Choice ballet flats have "good girl" written all over them, from their easygoing slip-on style to the dainty knot detail at the toe. They're available in sizes 6 to 11, but not in all size/color combinations.

    Body Central is determined to prove that "good girl" flats don't have to be boring, offering these comfy slip-ons in a wide variety of patterns and styles. Better yet, the coupon code above cuts 25% off each pair, bringing some styles as low as $7. Better yet, the same coupon bags free shipping on your order, making this the best deal we've seen on flats from Body Central. Note that sizes are super limited for some styles.
