What do you think about pointed leopard flats for fall?

Jem

I have these in a minty green color and love them, but I'm trying to start buying things for fall, now. What do you think of these? http://www.zappos.com/me-too-patty?zlfid=2 (the leopard print).

Yay yay yay! I love leopard print flats, I couldn't do pointy ones myself as I have fussy feet but if you have another pair and you find them comfy I say go for it x

Very pretty shoe and the animal print is quite versatile.

Jem, I tried on these exact shoes at Nordstrom. I am planning to go back to purchase them. They look adorable on and they are crazy comfortable Thanks for the online links for buying. I didn't remember the brand name. This shoe gets my thumbs up! Cute and not overly blinged out like some of the other flats I saw.

Jem! These shoes are GORGEOUS!! Go for them! You know what? After 'dipping my toes in the water' yesterday, and encouraged by Angie and Inge (who has a positive experience of buying online from Nordies and J.Crew, and shipping to the EU), I'm going to buy these!

I already have a pair of leopard-print Louboutins, but like all his shoes, they are sky-high (almost 6inches!). I'm longing for a pair of leopard flats, and these are by far the nicest I've seen!

I imagined, a couple of years back, that leopard print was a step too far for me, but I've discovered that in small doses (and for that shoes are ideal), it transforms a classic outfit, and adds the perfect 'on-trend' touch. So a HUGE 'Thank You' from this gal, who's now going to get out hubbie's Amex charge card and order!!

I love these! I am a fan of the pointed toe shoe anyway, and think it's also a classic. It may go out for a year or two, but it *always* comes back. (Now that I'm 50 I can tell you I've seen it come back in style MANY times, so just move them to the back of the closet when almond toes are in and wait...You won't be sorry you spent the money on these. MeToo are *sooooo* comfy!

I think ClearlyClaire has a pair, let me see if I can find a post to link you to for an "action shot" of the shoes...

I am the oddball in this forum, and apparently in the whole world right now. I don't like leopard-skin prints. Although my resistance could very well get worn down simply by seeing it everywhere and eventually getting used to it.

But that is absolutely no reason for you to not get them if you like them. If you know this particular shoe is comfortable on your foot on top of it all, go for it.

@Kim, good memory! Yes I have this exact pair!

Yay from me. I picked these up this summer from Last Chance. Usually I size up a half size in a pointy-toed flat, but you do not need to in this style. I'm probably going to have to find an insert for mine to take the extra room because I bought an 81/2 and I usually wear an 8. Too bad I can't return them. It wasn't until I got home that I realized they were quite a bit larger than my other pointy-toed flats.

They are super duper comfy, and I know they will go with just about anything. They are "pony" with a hair nap to the leopard. Anyway, go for it! This is a great shoe!

ETA: Note that the Leopard does not have elastic around the top of the shoe like the other colors do. I actually like this because I feel like the shoes with elastic cram my toes into the point.

Thumbs up from me! (I just purchased my first pair of low leopard pumps within the last couple weeks, so we can dip our toes into this trend - literally - together.)

Those look great! I love the pointed toe and you'll be amazed how many things leopard goes with.

These could be very versatile.

I used to hate the look of pointy toed shoes, but have found myself drawn to them recently. They do still look OTT by themselves, but as part of an outfit they really do draw the eye up and down and make you look taller and skinnier.

Wow everyone, that's a big thumbs up!!! Kari, we will be leopard shoe twins!

Thanks so much for weighing in Angie!

I'm happy there is such an overwhelming love for these, (It's ok if you don't love the JR) I bought them from Amazon. I saw someone on a blog who bought them and since I already love my green ones (and I also have a similar nude pair) I was tempted right away, but I'm trying to not go crazy buying shoes because that's my favorite thing to get and I really need some boots and maybe maroon oxfords. Anyway, you all convinced me. BTW, there was also a pair on Piperlime, but those are sold now and I also saw some on Ebay. Anyway, thanks everyone!!!

I got pulled away from the computer, but thanks for the sizing advice Claire!! My other two pairs are 9's, but they didn't have half sizes. I was thinking I needed the 8-1/2 on these, but your advice helped me decide to order that one.

Also, La Francaise--I think you are well past "dipping your toes"... with US shopping! I hope all of your items work out and fit. I can't wait to see some pictures.

Melissa--did you get yours?

Pointy toes and leopard are on-trend, so I vote yay as well!
