Reader Z wrote in to us about these lovely flats: “I just got these in today, and they're beautiful! I have the black – it's subtle and work appropriate for people who can wear flats, and the quality is amazing. Can't beat the price.” Nice! The purple/brown (pictured) strikes us as an interesting shoe to wear with brown/khaki/beige/caramel outfits, and has plenty of sizes left. (The black, unfortunately, only has lucky sizes left.) Both shoes are around $83 right now at Endless — on sale from their original price of $150. Lacoste Women's Belvoir 150 Flat,Dark Purple/Brown

what a disappointment. these shoes are so cute but they only go up to a 9 and i need a 10 or sometimes 11 :(

They’re a little too blah/grandma for me — I find it hard to believe that equally plain/boring flats can’t be found – and comfortable for half the price.
Shayna
I like these — I did a search for flats and love these Kenneth Cole flats – anyone have a pair to report in on comfort/fit?

Don’t have these but I loathe Kenneth Cole shoes. The fit is just a little bit off for me (just slightly too tight) and they are cheaply made and uncomfortable. I have banned them from my wardrobe. That said, they have been banned for several years now so maybe they’ve turned things around since then.

Thanks — I did the same thing w/ Bandolino shoes years ago – anyone have a more up to date review?

I’ve had decent luck with Reaction shoes. The quality isn’t bad for the $50 price range and they are good for women who have a narrower heel. The only issue I’ve had with some shoes is that the insole adhesive is really week and they come unglued in hotter weather. I imagine this won’t be as much of a problem in a cooler climate or if you wear powder or put a liner in for hotter days.

YES! I just pulled out my summer shoes and wore my twice-worn Bandolino wedge sandals to mark the start of summer weather in NY and my feet are now marked with scabs and blisters from them! Ugh.
I hadn’t worn them last season because I was interning all summer, but now I can wear cute shoes because all I do is bar review =)

I disagree with MelD — maybe I’m super sensitive, but the Kenneth Coles I bought two years ago were on the aching side of comfort. For the price range, they were worth it, because I wore them a number of times for short-term-standing activities, but I ultimately decided they weren’t worth it any more.
Too stiff, IMHO. But if the style is cute enough, maybe it wouldn’t bother you, given the price range.

I love Bandolino shoes. It’s a go-to brand for me. I can actually buy them without even trying them on if they are standard heels, and I know they will fit and be comfy to walk in/stand in all day. I haven’t noticed any change in the fit of their pumps/slingbacks over the last few years.

I disagree about Bandolino. It is literally the only brand of pump I now buy. I am an in-between size (8 to 8 1/2) with somewhat wide feet. And Bandolino 8s are absolutely perfect on me. The heel tips tend to wear quickly, but I just get them replaced right away and continue on.

I had a pair of Kenneth Cole flats that I (probably) over-wore and they stretched terribly. These look better because they have a seam around the edge, but that was my experience with Kenneth Cole reaction

Anyone besides me getting an SAS vibe off these?
K
LOL. Maybe they are better in person? They could be cute with pants.

SAS?

Ah, thanks. I googled and kept getting British “Special Air Services” which didn’t seem likely.
Shayna
Thanks for asking – I was confused as well.

Fugg x 3. But I’m probably biased because I despise flats in general. I know buckles and bows might turn some folks off, but that’s the only way I can wear flats so they don’t look like diabetic shoes (my diabetic MIL’s term, not mine). My black Bruno Magli’s http://bit.ly/9InGDq and these purple Anne Kleins http://bit.ly/9KSIEl are the only flats that have entered my closet, aside from sandals and flip-flops!

Funny, I think the Bruno Maglis look dowdier than these. What a wide variety of tastes we have (thankfully)!

I am just not a fan of flat shoes with anything but a round toe. They make my feet look big

dowdy doo.

Looks comfortable. Ideal for everyday wear. I don’t think it looks like grandma shoes.
