Yes.
What we think of as Ballet flats today were once a fashion item worn only by men from about the middle ages to the mid-1800s and were called "pompes". After that they fell out of fashion and were picked up by women in the early 20th century.
Ballet flats are a fashion item that has caught every body's attention as very practical and comfortable shoe not just by woman but by men as well for they go well with most casual clothing like jeans and shorts and even dresses and evening clothes.
Ballet flats are a very well received shoe by both genders to a point where ballet flats are already being designed for men but some can't just wait and who blames them ballet flats are comfortable and match almost anything in you closet. They are easy to slip on and off and can be very comfortable if designed well since there is nothing across the instep of the foot.
This shoe has nothing to do with actual ballet for their are not designed for dancing. Ballet flats are just design after the style of shoes they wear in Ballet so do not confuse them for you might actually hurt yourself if you use them for ballet dancing. Ballet Flats are not for dancing ballet but are great for dancing at clubs.
Today you can find "Opera pompes" or "tuxedo pompes" at very fine stores for men. Unfortunately, a more casual style has not caught on just yet, but if a man can find a pair of plain women's flats, they very often can work.

Why can ballet flats be unisex?
Ballet flats (or pompes) started out as a male item but has been appropriated by women and is now percieved as a wholly female Item. Consequently, it is taking a while to catch on as unisex but soon just like ear piercing, pink, make up, leggings, etc., will become unisex the more men wear them. Now more men are starting to wear ballet flats that the fashion industry is catching on and have there own version of male ballet flats so I'm pretty sure that in due time Ballet flats will be part of every men closet, for those who don't already own some that is.
