No one offers that, not even 20 years ago! So cool! A friend of mine loves her Birdies mules. I can't keep those on except as late-night house shoes but I might see what else they have. These are so perfect for you and I love that color! I wonder how the velvet will wear? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-birdies-heron-flats#post-2297161 Mon, 19 Dec 2022 12:45:06 +0000 Anonymous 2297161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-birdies-heron-flats#post-2296781 Sat, 17 Dec 2022 08:29:09 +0000 rachylou 2296781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are perfect for your wardrobe.

I have been lusting over the Swan slides with the jeweled bracelet for quite some time now, so thank you Jenn, for this review.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-birdies-heron-flats#post-2296655 Fri, 16 Dec 2022 14:52:53 +0000 Janet 2296655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are great, and nice to see a good review of them. I’ve given up on all of these kinds of shoes as they seem to all fall off my heels, but perhaps I’d try a pointed-toe flat for spring if the details were right. The velvet is so pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-birdies-heron-flats#post-2296642 Fri, 16 Dec 2022 12:14:36 +0000 kkards 2296642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab!

I am glad they are comfortable and that you got the right size at the first try! The inner part seems to be very cushy and they must be a pleasure to wear.&nbsp;<br />If you ever go to Venice, have a look at the end of the Rialto bridge, there are quite a lot of shops that sell Furlane!. The velour is really special !!!!<br />&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-birdies-heron-flats#post-2296570 Thu, 15 Dec 2022 19:24:22 +0000 Angie 2296570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY!

They do a lot of work with female mentorship and donate shoes through Soles 4 Souls. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-birdies-heron-flats#post-2296565 Thu, 15 Dec 2022 19:12:39 +0000 Lesley 2296565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are fuuuunnnn.

I love the ease of slip-on flats, though, and have been searching for a good alternative. &nbsp;Enter the Heron from Birdies.</p> <p>They're based on the furlane slippers worn by gondoliers in Venice. Those are velvet, and so are most of the Herons, which come in a whole array of seasonal colors, some with gorgeous embroidery. They also come in a few limited shades of suede--stone, black, and navy.&nbsp;</p> <p>I appreciated that they offered a size 10.5, which many brands don't. That's what I ordered, and it was perfect. I can't express enough how comfortable these were straight out of the box. The sole is squishy and the entire inside of the shoe is lightly padded. They feel amazing on bare feet and also work well with thin socks. (YMMV, though. &nbsp;My husband slipped them on and hated the quilting.)</p> <p>I never do this, but I'm considering ordering a second color. I suspect black suede would get a lot of wear in my wardrobe. </p>
