I have quite a few returns in process so I will have to wait a bit, but these are so cute! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-found-the-best-walking-flat-any-other-great-options#post-904482 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 22:09:41 +0000 Lauren 904482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow i'm going to have to try the Geox! Thanks for the tips everyone!<br /><br />I have a few pairs of J.Crew flats and I find that they always pinch the front of my toes or are too tight for all day wear. <br /><br />I have a pair of the ferragamo Vara bow pump which is perfectly comfortable but again, I found not sustainable for all-day wear. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-found-the-best-walking-flat-any-other-great-options#post-904453 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 21:46:24 +0000 Mia 904453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow! &nbsp;Those look great. &nbsp;My recent trip to Rome taught me about proper support and cushioned soles.<br /><br />Ferragamo "my Joy" flat is great for travel but not a lot of support for all day walking. &nbsp;Nicely cushioned and soft and they fold! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-found-the-best-walking-flat-any-other-great-options#post-904417 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 20:59:39 +0000 K. Period. 904417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hmm. &nbsp;I have wide feet, but not a narrow heel. They are cut low enough that they accommodate my wide foot, but I think they would also work for someone who doesn't have wide feet. If your heel is narrow enough that you need a higher vamp or a strap typically, these might not be the ones for you. They're on Zappos, though, so free shipping and returns. &nbsp;Why not try them? (I'm always in the "why not try it?"&nbsp;camp. Things often surprise me.)&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-found-the-best-walking-flat-any-other-great-options#post-904364 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 19:47:55 +0000 Anonymous 904364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ K can shop....how do the Geox run width wise? I have a narrow heel so I usually have a hard time without a Mary Jane type strap.&nbsp;<br /><br />Thanks for chiming in! I love those shoes.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-found-the-best-walking-flat-any-other-great-options#post-904327 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 19:18:26 +0000 K. Period. 904327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lauren, when I saw mtgirl's post, I knew she was talking about my new Geox flats. &nbsp;They are very very comfortable and I think a very different look than the Tieks (which are adorable by the way!). &nbsp;The pointier toe may give you a little variety. &nbsp;The Tieks look like more of a classic ballet flat with a rounded toe. i like to wear pointy toes with just about everything but especially&nbsp;bootcuts and trouser jeans because those never seemed to work with ballet flats to my eye. &nbsp;I was going to say that the Geox don't have a ton of arch support, but they should have at least as much as the Tieks. &nbsp;Same idea: they are very soft and mold to your foot to give you support and cushioning. &nbsp;Might as well try them with free shipping/returns via Zappos, right? Maybe if enough of us buy them, we'll be able to convince them to make 'em in a metallic too! &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-found-the-best-walking-flat-any-other-great-options#post-904309 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 19:02:48 +0000 Kristin SF 904309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have a pair too, and like Raisin, I also feel like I could have sized down.They are definitely comfy. I reserve them for special occasions when I want to swap out my heels for flats, but maybe I should take a cue from you and wear them for every day.<br /><br />I also recommend - at half the price - the CeCe ballet flat from J.Crew. They are also comfy and have a hidden small wedge, which tends to look more flattering than a true flat on my short legs. On these J.Crew flats, I sized up.<br /><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/shoes/ballets/PRDOVR~64408/64408.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/womens_ca...../64408.jsp</a><br /><br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-found-the-best-walking-flat-any-other-great-options#post-904300 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 18:50:51 +0000 rachylou 904300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That looks a good find, Lauren!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-found-the-best-walking-flat-any-other-great-options#post-904264 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 18:10:08 +0000 Anonymous 904264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I found the thread I was talking about:<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2wiws-why-did-i-wait-so-long-and-love-at-first-sight">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....irst-sight</a><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-found-the-best-walking-flat-any-other-great-options#post-903991 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 13:26:07 +0000 Janet 903991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Those are cute, Lauren, and I'd never heard of them before. Good to know for when I inevitably need to replace my comfy but non-supportive Repetto ballet flats. I always wear them for travel and city walking, and they are getting worn to bits. I was thinking of purging them and then saw a picture of Angelina Jolie wearing the exact same shoes in a similarly battered state. I figured if they're good enough for her... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-found-the-best-walking-flat-any-other-great-options#post-903988 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 13:23:23 +0000 Raisin 903988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I second the Caspians as well! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-found-the-best-walking-flat-any-other-great-options#post-903983 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 13:17:06 +0000 Anonymous 903983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Someone recently mentioned Geox on the forum and then Angie ordered a pair as well (I can't find the thread):<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zappos.com/geox-d-leslie-3-black#prdInfo">http://www.zappos.com/geox-d-l.....ck#prdInfo</a><br /><br />Not sure how they would be, but they look comfortable https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-found-the-best-walking-flat-any-other-great-options#post-903977 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 13:06:24 +0000 sarah 903977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Are you interested in sassy sneakers?

The company is called Tieks and after I moved to San Francisco, I realized that all of my other flats with no support and little padding just wouldn't cut it. These really are the most comfortable flats I own and required no break in time. (see pics of the color I got here: <a href="http://bit.ly/ZEJ6KE" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/ZEJ6KE</a>)<br /><br />But I was wondering if anyone else had any other great options? I always like to have shoe choices and as it stands these are the only things on my feet when I know i'm going to be walking at all in the city.<br />
