STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

I tore my ACL last week (I wouldn't recommend doing this. It sucks. ). So it looks like I'll be wearing flats for the next 6 months (surgery, rehab, bah). I'd like to get ~5 pair of flats and I'd like to keep them under $50 each. Colors, neutrals, whatever. Any suggestions?

And has anyone had ACL surgery? What kind of hell awaits me??

Thanks!!
