Born/BOC, Kenzie Girl, Steve Madden, Clarks, Naturalizer, are all lines I've had good success with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-stylish-comfortable-flats-are-you-wearing-these-days#post-339470 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 02:14:27 +0000 bella 339470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April - my feet are not too fussy and I don't mind sacrificing a bit of comfort for the cute factor. I don't really know how comfy any of these shoes are but I like pointy toed flats more than round ones (I am team pointy toe!) They look more dressy to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-stylish-comfortable-flats-are-you-wearing-these-days#post-339453 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 01:35:21 +0000 Sparky 339453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No one's mentioned AGL flats? Outrageously expensive even when on sale, but oh my, how dreamy on the feet. Can't find a picture of the pair I have, but AGLs usually have some little detail to make them (to my eye) interesting and not so plain Jane. Look at the current examples at Nordies: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/attilio-giusti-leombruni?origin=brandindex" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/at.....brandindex</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-stylish-comfortable-flats-are-you-wearing-these-days#post-339280 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 20:23:43 +0000 Kristen 339280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most of mine are from previous seasons, but the newest pair of flats (1/2" wedges, technically) that are shockingly comfortable are my Target Merona cutout flats in red. I have never had good luck with Target shoes, especially the flats, so these are a small miracle for me. I sized up a half-size to 9.5, and haven't regretted it. The red is great, but I contemplated getting them in one of the metallics or yellow too. </p> <p><a href="http://www.target.com/Merona-Makana-Cutout-Sliver-Wedges/dp/B004SPIV0Y/ref=in_de_detail-item-display" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/Merona-M.....em-display</a></p> <p>George really, really likes them.

I also have a couple of pairs of distressed gold/burgundy patent/pewter/studded black leather flats, but they don't get as much wear (mostly because they're less comfortable, but this is probably because I haven't broken them in...vicious cycle).</p> <p>I also tried on the Indigo Bishop:<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/indigo-by-clarks-bishop-grey-metallic" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/indigo-b.....y-metallic</a><br /> in pewter earlier this year. They were very comfy but I needed the larger of the two sizes I varied between, and I really was looking for a low wedge, and this was more of a flat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-stylish-comfortable-flats-are-you-wearing-these-days#post-339260 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 20:03:22 +0000 thimblelina 339260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just got a brand new pair of Born Crown ballet flats as a hand-me-down from a friend's mom. They are really nice. And I am loving my new Kork-Ease sneakers with a nude vachetta leather captoe. I wear a lot of flats because I walk a lot.

The thing is to pick a dressier style with a more "feminine" rather than chunky look to them. Comfortable versions are there for the finding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-stylish-comfortable-flats-are-you-wearing-these-days#post-339221 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 19:07:09 +0000 biscuitsmom 339221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have tried these in the dark brown (not currently available at Zappos) but are for sale elsewhere, and while I really liked them, they stretched out SO far (within a day or two) I definitely shouldve sized down!

I was hoping those purple Cole Haans might show up at our swap... :)</p> <p>Dashrashi -- I worry that the Blochs might not work with my somewhat classic style -- seems like they need some edginess to counteract their plainness? If I could wear jeans to work, no problem, but I can't.</p> <p>Vani -- yes, my Me Too flats have been total workhorses. I'll check out the ones you mentioned.</p> <p>JG -- you're right about the Skechers. :)</p> <p>Anne -- AHA! These might work very well.

I like them but that's probably not what you had in mind! Ha!<br /> I did wear these yesterday that I got at Target nearly 2 years ago and haven't really worn. I liked how they looked though so I will keep my eye out for others. These do not offer much protection b/w me and the ground. Maybe that's how flats are expected to be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-stylish-comfortable-flats-are-you-wearing-these-days#post-339113 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 16:44:39 +0000 Vani 339113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourites through all the past seasons are still the Me Too Garnet and Marco flats. I can't find a link to the Marco flats but they are the very same pair Michelle has sans the wedge heel - black with two layers of ruffles on the toes with tiny studs on the ruffles. The Me Toos are tough, durable and the most comfortable pair of shoes I own! Oh also the Clarks Lyons glads in pewter are still very close contenders. My more recent flats purchase have been two-tone brogue and plain black oxfords but they aren't the most comfortable of the lot though they are definitely more stylish !</p> <p>Louise, blue suede shoes, yummy!

Buttery soft leather, insane heel cushioning, and a lining that feels like velvet.
