We're liking these comfortable flats from Dr. Scholl — heralded by a number of readers in this post as being super comfortable. We like the slight point to the toe, the circular buckle, and the number of different colors available — our favorites are these bronze ones (on sale for $56.70), but Zappos also has them in gunmetal, grey plaid, gold foil, and beige (Dr. Scholl's – Graduate (Bronze Pulled PU) – Footwear
).
Endless also has them in a number of pastels, a red, and a few animal prints; in limited sizes they also have two black pairs (prices range from $38.47 to $69.95), and Shoebuy has much more sizes of the plain black ones available for $68.

I have some similar to this in black. After a brief break-in period, they are fabulous. Cute, comfortable, great to travel in and be on your feet all day. Hooray flats!
Hmm….perhaps it’s the shine of the shoe, but I don’t like these. ymmv
I don’t have kids, but the name of this style is making me think of “Gerber’s Graduates,” the finger foods for toddlers. Is Dr. Scholl trying to tell us these are big-girl shoes?
Anyway, I love flats but am not a fan of the materials here.
I am on my second pair of these shoes (although mine are a different material), and I LOVE them. Most comfortable flats I have ever owned. I particularly like that they have a fabric insole (the part under your foot?) that is like a suede-like material.
I have one pair of Dr. Scholl’s that I love, but every other pair I’ve tried on since seems to dig into my foot in all the wrong places. I feel like I may have tried on this style with no luck.
I have been wearing the black ones every day this summer, either all day or as commuters. Wish they had a normal brown instead of bronze. They show a bit too much toe cleavage, but otherwise are great. I do lunchtime walks with coworkers and feel like I’m almost in sneakers. Go Dr. S. Please make more.
I have a pair of these in pink/grey plaid that I love. I found them for $35 at the outlet mall at Factory Brand Shoes. They are really comfortable for me, and I like the metal decoration.
It seems like this style of shoe is available at different times of year in different colors and materials, so if you like these but want a different color, keep an eye out for new ones.
