Tieks Review 2026: Are These Foldable Ballet Flats Worth The Hype?
This pair of ballet flats was sent to me by Tieks to review. As always, all opinions are 100% my own!
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure you’ve seen Tieks foldable ballet flats around. You know the ballet flats with the turquoise sole that you can’t miss. I’ve always thought they were super chic but wasn’t sure if they were worth the hype. Anyway, I’ve been wearing this gold metallic pair for a few months now and I wanted to share my experience and if they’re worth the hype.
So first things first, these are the perfect city flats. This is a great commuting shoes that looks great while you’re zipping around the city, running up and down subway stairs that you can dress up or down whether you’re heading to work, girls night out or towing your kids around.
Tieks Foldable Flats Quality and Design
Let’s talk about what you’re really paying for, the quality of these flats. The older I get, the more important quality is to me because I’m focused on building a wardrobe with pieces that will last me a long time. Tieks ballet flats are 100% Italian leather.
Are Tieks Comfortable?
In terms of fit, I have to be honest I needed to break them in just a bit particularly at the top (I do have wide feet). I would recommend that you don’t wear them for an extended period for your first few wears, I wore them all day the first day, not my best idea. That said, they did immaculately mold to my feet after a short wears running errands and now they’re one of my most comfortable pairs of shoes and I can wear them for long periods of time without any issue.
So, are Tieks worth the money and the hype?
These ballet flats cost anywhere between $150 and $300 so they are an investment but based on the exquisite quality, design and convenience I’d say yes, they’re worth the price. This is the type of shoe you would get your return on investment on because you will be wearing them to PTA meetings, birthday parties, brunch etc. It’s the shoe you don’t have to think about that works with any outfit and with the right care will last a long time. I’m looking forward to adding more Tieks ballet flats to my wardrobe and will definitely share when I do. If you’ve been around here for a while, you know I love a pop of color and I have my eyes on some of their vibrant colors.

Whew! 2020 has been quite a year for all of us, and I think it’s safe to say we deserve the best gifts this holiday season. I don’t know about you, but I love gifts that I can use daily, especially clothes and shoes. I’m looking forward to upgrading my athleisure wardrobe this holiday season to look cute doing the things I do most regularly like go to the grocery store, take walks around the neighborhood, and lounge around our home. I’m happy to partner with Adidas for this post because I’ve been a fan of the brand for years, and they truly have some of the coolest athleisure wear for women. So, here is my 2020 Gift Guide for Stylish Moms, Athleisure She’ll Love:
Let’s start with the sneakers because sneakers always make fantastic gifts! My top pick from Adidas for this gift guide for stylish moms is the Adidas Ultraboost 20 Shoes. These running sneakers are sleek, gorgeous, lightweight, and look great beyond working out. You can style them with cute dresses, jeans, and athleisure outfits. The Adidas Ultraboost 20 Shoes is available in 19 different colorways, but I fell in love with the Cloud white/Core Black/Signal Pink because it’s a neutral color that would go with most of the things in my wardrobe.
The best thing about them, though, is how comfortable they are; they’re light, feel sock-like, and are perfect, especially if you’re going to be on your feet for hours.
It’s no secret that I’m not too fond of cold weather, I’ve shared that many times before so a warm jacket is the perfect gift. I’ve had it for a few weeks now, and I love wearing it because of how warm and comfortable it is. It also has a lined hoodie that you tuck into the zippered collar.
The Adidas COLD.RDY Training Jacket is warm, yet it’s lightweight and chic. I think most of us prefer jackets that aren’t bulky, especially for exercising or walking outdoors. This is an excellent gift for a mom who enjoys running or anyone who would appreciate a stylish jacket. I got it in black, but it also comes in a trendy green color (Legend Earth). I love how inclusive Adidas is, too, the COLD.RDY collection is also available in plus sizes. Buy the jacket here!
Also, part of the COLD.RDY collection is these long warm tights. I absolutely love how comfortable these are, and even though they’re insulated, they’re comfortable and don’t make me feel sweaty. The design is excellent; they’re very flattering even though I don’t have an athletic build. They’re also not too stretchy that you have to worry about them getting loose while you wear them. I thought the Power Berry color that I’m wearing is perfect for the holidays, but depending on who you’re shopping for, they prefer the Legacy Gold or the Black.
Raise your hand if you’re guilty of wearing just about any warm hoodie you can get your hands on. Whether it’s your kid’s, husband’s, BBF’s, we’ve all done it. Now that the holidays are here, we can gift ourselves our own warm hoodies. I’m in love with the Adidas Badge of Sport Pullover Fleece hoodies because it’s warm, cozy, and stylish. It’s a thick yet soft and sound quality that would last for a long time. My favorite is the white with the black logo, but I love it so much I plan to gift myself the black with white logo. It’s available in five colors in plus sizes.
This is the perfect pair of fleece sweatpants for cold days. I love the tapered leg and how cute these pants look with the Sneakers Ultraboost 20 Sneakers and The Adidas Badge of Sport Pullover Fleece Hoodie. I wear them to go shopping, run errands with the kids, lounging and homeschooling. They’re also great when you don’t feel like getting dressed but want to look pulled together. I have them in black, but they’re also available in Noble Purple / Power Berry.
I hope you found the perfect gift for the stylish mom in your life for the holidays! Let me know your favorite pieces from my picks in the comments below.
