I do love a low heel since I am on my feet most of the day.</p> <p>Una, do the boots have hard insoles? That could be why your legs are being tested. The platform on those probably adjusts a bit for the heel height. I think the higher heel height might give your calves a workout, but I'm not so sure it's good for your feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-have-achieved-flat-shoe-apogee#post-1552062 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 12:22:48 +0000 Thistle 1552062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear ya!!&nbsp; Hoping that this lasts a long, long, long time.&nbsp; Like, I dunno, <b><i>forever</i></b>. </p> <p>Yeah, I know, but heels never came back in fashion for men&nbsp;(who originally started wearing heels, and the fashion was later adopted by women).&nbsp;I can dream.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-have-achieved-flat-shoe-apogee#post-1552061 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 12:15:19 +0000 Anonymous 1552061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely think it's good that near flats are stylish. The intensley flat ballet flats I don't think are that great for walking on cement (for me), despite the barefoot jogging craze that seems to suggest otherwise.<br /> I do hope they keep making a variety of casual heels, though, because they're nice under bootleg/flares.<br /> AK, I'm thinking a little bit of a stretching feeling is probably a good thing, as long as you don't overdo it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-have-achieved-flat-shoe-apogee#post-1552051 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 11:13:02 +0000 Windchime 1552051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray for a plethora of flat (or very low heeled) footwear options! When we were in NYC last month, flats or very low heels outnumbered high heels by about 5,000 to 1. Mind you, this was mainly on the streets or at tourist destinations, but still... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-have-achieved-flat-shoe-apogee#post-1552048 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 10:28:39 +0000 Summer 1552048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm happy to hear that, Laura. &nbsp;I think I'll join you in stocking up while the going's good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-have-achieved-flat-shoe-apogee#post-1551762 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 19:59:53 +0000 Amy 1551762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, I like your writing style :)</p> <p>I'm happy about the lower heels as well. I've got fussy feet and they are much happier with a lower heel, if not 100% flat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-have-achieved-flat-shoe-apogee#post-1551688 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 18:12:52 +0000 Maneera 1551688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so so glad wearing comfortable shoes is now trendy! I've noticed that most designers offer a great collection of flats here in India too. Yippee! Since I never could wear high heels. </p> <p>Una- I notice a change in my walking stance from winter to summer (and vice versa) too. I find it very difficult to wear true flats when summers start, because feet get so used to boots....and most boots have a thicker, higher sole. </p> <p>I think you should decide on your heel limit (for me it's 1" to 2.5" max) and keep rotating pairs. My calves feel better when I wear a bit of wedge heel after days in my crocs Well, they certainly look better too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-have-achieved-flat-shoe-apogee#post-1551625 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 17:03:07 +0000 unfrumped 1551625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Foot nirvana. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-have-achieved-flat-shoe-apogee#post-1551614 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 16:44:38 +0000 Anonymous 1551614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Without a doubt, I'll be stocking up for as long as this trend lasts. &nbsp;LOVE flat, comfortable shoes. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-have-achieved-flat-shoe-apogee#post-1551577 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 15:58:54 +0000 deb 1551577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in heaven!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-have-achieved-flat-shoe-apogee#post-1551550 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 15:31:37 +0000 always trying 1551550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First time I really noticed so many more flats, low booties, etc. was this spring.&nbsp; Also getting a little easier to find 2 1/2 to 3 inch nice heels also. For a while everything was over 4 or those really little kitten heels.</p> <p>As martha says"that is a good thing".</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-have-achieved-flat-shoe-apogee#post-1551549 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 15:30:19 +0000 viva 1551549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad to have choice within the low range. I am really not happy at all in truly flat, but to have choices between 1" and 2.5" makes me incredibly happy. And Una, I think moving back and forth within this range makes my feet and my legs the happiest ever, actually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-have-achieved-flat-shoe-apogee#post-1551547 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 15:27:14 +0000 Diana 1551547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray!&nbsp; I hope there isn't a pushback from the stiletto people though... </p> <p>Una, I like those booties.&nbsp; How padded is the sole?&nbsp; I have been feeling like my EF platforms are too hard soled so they are making my feet ache.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-have-achieved-flat-shoe-apogee#post-1551543 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 15:24:31 +0000 AviaMariah 1551543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to have to browse Asos to see what you're looking out. &nbsp;This is very exciting for me! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-have-achieved-flat-shoe-apogee#post-1551535 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 15:17:08 +0000 catgirl 1551535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A related question:&nbsp;do you all think it's better to have&nbsp;a variety of heel heights, like a variety of foods in your diet, to keep your feet healthy and adaptable?&nbsp; I don't wear very high heels, but I am wearing the booties I posted above today and although they are comfortable, my legs feel like they are being tested - not painful, more like stretching muscles that were too tight.&nbsp; I think that's good, right?&nbsp; All flats all summer may have changed my actual walking stance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-have-achieved-flat-shoe-apogee#post-1551531 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 15:12:25 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1551531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear all&nbsp;heel&nbsp;heights&nbsp;but my most recent purchases have been lower heels&nbsp;or flat styles.&nbsp; Yay for variety! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-have-achieved-flat-shoe-apogee#post-1551491 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 14:19:07 +0000 catgirl 1551491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-have-achieved-flat-shoe-apogee#post-1551490 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 14:15:32 +0000 Suz 1551490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, those count as a low heel to my eye. The platform adjusts it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-have-achieved-flat-shoe-apogee#post-1551489 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 14:10:54 +0000 catgirl 1551489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Makes me happy - although I did just buy these Topshop booties! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-have-achieved-flat-shoe-apogee#post-1551480 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 13:54:37 +0000 Angie 1551480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I KNOW, Laura.

I do, because I remember thinking, "yeah, that sounds lovely...and I don't think it'll ever happen."</p> <p>Well, I am here to officially beg Angie's pardon for doubting her, because I was just browsing Asos's shoe section and almost all the shoes were flat or with heels smaller than two inches. The traditional pumps and stilettos are in the definite minority. I've seen the same trends at DSW and at higher end stores.</p> <p>Now, let's just hope that the tides of fashion can wait to shift for a little bit while we stock up... </p>
