These were the emergency pair I bought yesterday after my feet just gave out on me (well, my dear brother bought them):

Sorry for the bad phone picture quality but you get the idea. So far I love them.

Very cute! They look like a pair of Jeffrey Campbell flats I've seen at Nordstrom.

They don't make shoes, they just have shoes Those were the only non-wellie shoes they had though. Unfortunately the brand logo is so bad and illegible that I can't say what it is. They run really tiny though. I usually need a 36 or 37 and these are a 38.

Marianna, I know just what shoes you're talking about and I LOVED them but did not have $110 for them. These are much more economical at $25! They were originally $49 but there was a sale going on.

It's got to be a sign that you found such fantastic shoes at such a price after an interview with what appears to be great ease.

Either that, or the interview was not for naught-- it allowed you to find the shoes.

It's SUCH a shame the FL pumps did not work out. I guess you really needed a 36. I'm sorry :0(. They were the pumps style that I have, right?

But so glad your lovely bro bought you these adorable flats and they work for your feet! But I’m intrigued. You swore off all ballet flats a little while ago because they fall off your feet. How do these stay on? Are these more than 4 hour shoes?

Angie, I wish I could give you an explanation but I'm as perplexed as you are. These do not fall off my feet at all. One thing about them is that they are extremely flexible and soft. I guess the fact that they are cheap made them work in my favor, since they lack a lot of the stiffness and structure of more expensive shoes. I still added a heel insert just to keep my heels cushioned but they stay on without them, even when my foot is relaxed. Usually when I cross my legs in ballet flats, the heel pops off and the shoe dangles on my toes...but not with these! Also, as I said, I sized up to a 38! The 37's fit but were tight, and I thought if I went up to a 38 they would fall off...and yet that didn't happen.

The FL shoes were the same ones you got. I think if they had a 36 in stock I would have exchanged them. Oh well, Laura will make great use of them and I'll use the payment she sends me to get a sweet pair of loafers, so it all worked out

Do they have a bit of elastic at the back, Maya? We have to get to the bottom of this!

They are super cute Maya. and I am so glad that they are comfy too. They remind of a Jeffrey Campbel pair that I have been wanting.

Angie, they don't have an elasticized back! I'm stumped. I think it might just be the way they are made. But I swear they stay on very well. It might just be because they are so soft and unstructured that my foot just gives it the structure it needs.

Well, I wore them around the mall today and no harm done. I'm going to wear them this week for my Anthropologie interview, which will require 8 hour shoes. We'll see how they hold up to the true test.

Gosh, I wish I could read the stupid logo so I can look up more of their shoes. I might have to take them back to the store and have them decipher it for me :\

No name on the box? you could always call the store that you purchased at.

Sounds like these are kind to your feet so far:)

Taylor, the idea of looking at the box amuses me I wasn't kidding when I said these were cheap. They did not come in a box. They were all piled on top of each other in a huge fish bowl, and not even attached in pairs. I had to dig out one 38 and then find another somewhere in the bowl. It was like fishing for shoes :p

Tanya, I'll let you know once I figure it out. Or I'll take a picture and post it here so maybe you ladies can help investigate!
