The perfect shade of pink. That's how I'd describe Cotton Candy Tieks. Get a closer look at these sweet pink ballet flats and see if they're the right hue for you.
As I mentioned in my post about Razzleberry Tieks, I could not wait for Tieks to release their Little Miss Tieks collection in adult sizes. I wasn't sure it was going to happen, but I'm so glad it did. I bought them right away and knew that Cotton Candy would be the perfect pair of pink ballet flats for me.
Cotton Candy Tieks
I had ordered Blush Patent when they were released but ended up exchanging them later since the color wasn't quite pink enough for me. Blush matched my skin tone almost exactly so it felt like I didn't even have shoes on. I ended up buying Ballerina Pink when the Little Miss Tieks collection came out so I could match my little lady. Ballerina Pink Tieks are a pale and subtle shade of pink, and although they were nice, they weren't quite what I was hoping for. Cotton Candy Tieks are exactly what I wanted in a pink flat.
These patent flats fit comfortably right out of the box. I purchased them in my regular size 9 and they fit like a glove. As I said in my Razzleberry Tieks review, be sure to store patent leather flats away from other shoes and bags to avoid color transfer. Patent leather has a tendency to absorb color from other materials it comes into contact with. That transfer can be permanent and discolor your beautiful shoes.
Tieks are by far the most comfortable ballet flats I've ever worn. I said it in my Tieks review and I'll say it again, they're worth every single penny. That's why I have so many pairs of Tieks shoes.
I love the way the signature Tieks Blue soles and stripe coordinate with this sweet shade of pink. It's a match made in heaven. Of course, I also love the fact that I can twin with my daughter in true "mommy and me" fashion.
I put together a video of Razzleberry and Cotton Candy Tieks so you could see them up close and next to similar shades of pink and red Tieks. Be sure to also check out my longer video about Tieks where I compared dozens of other colors and prints (you can see still photos of those comparisons here in my post about my collection of Tieks shoes).

These are gorgeous! I love this color and feel like it would match so much.

Another great Tieks post Ruth. I was like you. From the second Tieks released cotton candy and Razzleberry for Misses I hoped someday they would make them for us bigger girls and boys. I ordered my Cotton Candy the day they were released and 4 days later bought Razzleberry. Razzleberry are somewhat similar in color to my pop pinks but different enough for me to justify having both. And Cotton Candy are the perfect shade of pink. So soft and feminine and perfect for any girlie girl (or guy).

So cute that you and your little one can both wear these pretty cotton candy pink Tieks. Such a pretty color especially with those blue soles.

I could never afford any Tieks, but they are really cute!

I love these flats. Due to medical reasons I will never be able to wear them.

Hi! Is there anything that can be done for color transfer on Cotton Candy Tieks? I've read you can use nail polish but do you know any paint/polish that would also help?
Ruth V. says
Hi Pam! Sorry to hear about your patent leather Tieks. The only thing I've heard to do is dye them a darker color that will mask the color transfer. It's obviously not ideal if you love the color. Please update me if you find something else that works!
