Target shoes IRL?

mmmich · Nine West

i saw these shoes maybe last week but didn't pay too much attention to them since they only had huge sizes in this style. i had been looking for flats though, and do remember thinking from my fleeting look that they looked kind of cheap (i actually ended up ordering some dolce vitas on sale, so i hope they turn out ok after reading your comment...). the upper part (i'm not sure if it's leather or not?) just looked stiff and not as sleek as it looks in the online photo. however, that being said, i never expect super high-quality shoes from target and if they're inexpensive enough i might say just go for it. the only danger might be that the materials they're made out of would be uncomfortable...with ill-fitting/ill-made flats i always get huge blisters on my feet.

anyway hopefully someone who examined these closer/tried them on can give you a better review...hth a little though!

I haven't seen the Target ones, but Urban has these on sale for $15 if you're interested:

They're definitely beautiful shoes. And they look really good on as well. But I would definitely have had to take them to the shoe repair place to get some extra sole and padding put in to make them long-term wearable. I just didn't think I should have to spend the extra money on them considering they were $100 for ballet flats to begin with. But it was really hard to send them back because they really were beautiful. On sale, they're a much better bargain, imo.
