I actually like the laredoute ones better.

cc · Marc Jacobs

The La Redoute ones are cute but if you want something that would be good for walking I'm sure the Hollywould ones would be infinitely better. If you are already ordering from La Redoute though you might as well get them and see what they're like in person.

I saw those Hollywould flats at my Nordstrom Rack once for $75. You may want to check there before you buy a cheaper version. I also agree with cc's advice.

honey · Gucci

i agree with cc. i think overall the quality would be better on the hollywould ones, especially if you plan on doing a lot of walking. i'm also not crazy about the embellishment on the front. if they were solid i'd like them a lot more.

Lilykind · Hermes

I'm with cc too. I personally wouldn't go cheap on something like the Hollywould ballet flats. They're classic (not trendy in the least) and will be perfect for walking around NYC...the LaRedoute ones not so much.

Vanessa · Kate Spade

I love the Hollywould ones because they are significantly more substantial and would definitely (like the others said) be more comfortable. Have you tried eBay? Perhaps you could find them there...
