As an extra added benefit you can hum Elvis tunes with legitimacy. Presley, not Costello, although I prefer Costello. Those shoes are great.
awful – awful. The heel is too clipped, the back is too high, the contrast between the colors is not marked, and the stripes are oddly placed. I bet they’ll be at the DSW 80% sale soon.
Wow. I would normally never consider wearing flats, but those are seriously cute.
Note that the customer comments say these run a half size smaller than marked.
Beautiful – and the first flats I have seen in a while that have just a tiny bit of lift (which is a good thing).
Great find!
I’d love them if it weren’t for the rounded heel. If it had a kitten heel instead it would look a lot more updated and less dowdy.
Yuck! Hideous square heel!
I have been lusting after these for quite a while….
The heel is throwing me on these, too – it reminds me of the heels on my dress shoes when I was about 6. If it were either shorter or less blocky, I’d vote for cute!
Hate hate hate the heel. I much prefer ballet flats. also, agree with PP that the shoe goes up too high, likely to cut into your heel.
The heel looks geriatric.
I think these are cute. They look like the type of shoes that might look better on the foot — not much “rack” appeal, but good in real life. They are from Sigerson Morrison, which is a good brand, and in my experience good brands wear much better than similar shoes from cheaper designers. Just my two cents — I think these are definitely worth trying on.
Yuck – very matronly.
Re: suede in general. I have a pair of green suede flats, but I’ve designated them as fall/winter shoes because I though the material was not spring/summer enough. Is this not the case? (They’re so comfy I’d wear them all year long if I thought I could!)
