Thoughts on these shoes?
Permalink Closed

I need some casual, flat(ish) shoes for fall and I'm planning to buy some ballet flats. What do you think of these?


the pic isn't very good, but I want the brown ones (in the middle).  For some reason, I got a Talbot's catalog in the mail and I usually hate their clothes, but I though these shoes were cute.


And also, these:


I normally despise Payless, but these might be cute.


Thoughts?

Pretty cute, the ones from Payless, and I 'think' I have seen them in person, I think you'll like them. Let us know.

I agree the Payless shoes are really cute.

I am tired of seeing ballet flats and will tell you why.  This girl at work tries to be all fashion-y and only ever wears ballet flats!  Her outfits she puts together end up looking silly and cheap.  I wonder if she would still wear ballet flats with 6 inches of snow outside?  Maybe sheepskin flats?

the first ones are okay (i think you can find better), but i don't like the payless ones.  (i think i'm the only one who doesn't like them!)  i don't know, they're a little too cutesy for me....

i like the spiegel ones I think, hard to tell from pic.  Not feeling the Payless ones, they look very young to me.  Maybe with jeans and a nice top or blazer they will look more polished?

Um, yeah, okay. That's fabulous. Thanks for your input.  I just want them b/c I don't want to wear sneakers. I don't plan to wear them with everything or in the snow.  I'm not trying to be all 'fashiony.'  I just need something comfy for weekends.  So, next time, if you don't have anything constructive to input....

The more I look the at the second pair, the less I like them.  I just need something for fall/winter that works like my flip flops do in the summer. Just something that I can throw on for the weekend.  I have the Target ballet flats, but those soles are soooooo thin! I feel like I might as well be walking around in bare feet! I guess I'll have to keep looking.

I don't care what other people say, I think flats are adorable! If you're still looking, I've found some more cute pairs.


Bakers $19.99



Go Jane



Nordstrom $44.95

That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.


Flats rock.

FYI, I lived in my ballet flats all winter long and got tons of complements on them


Anyway, I know these are more expensive, but they are so cute:


in black or brown.

I quite agree it's pretty ridiculous.  Like why does wearing ballet flats make an outfit look "silly and cheap"?  And what does this have to do w/ Nylabelle's shoe decision?


Anyway, enough of my tangent...I'm not sure what price range you're looking at, but both BR and JCrew have some really cute ballet flats and pointy flats right now.  I'll post some pics when I get off work.

I agree w/NCShopper, BR has some really cute flats:


 


Also, here's some cute ones from Nine West:


  


I also agree that flats rock - I love wearing them to/from work so I don't look like a dork in gym shoes

i tried these on in grey a few weeks ago- they're very cute!



i didn't end up buying them though- i decided on these jeffrey campbells instead. 


Jeffrey Campbell ŽElleŽ Pump


they're basically a flat and they are sooooo comfortable!  the nordstrom website has them in gold, silver, and white, but i've seen them in a variety of colors.  i got them in a sort of burgundy/plum suede.  i'm not sure if you were looking for a more plain style, but i would definitely recommend these!


 


by the way, flats will never go out of style!  they're not trying to be "fashion-y"- they're classic.

Exactly, hello Audrey Hepburn!

I might be the only one, but I like the first ones you posted, Nylabelle.


I also like these:

according to an earlier cortney82 post, stiletto heels are also cheap-looking.  i wonder what type of shoes we are supposed to wear?
