I wish I could wear more flats, but it’s really cold and rainy on campus (except in the summer, but I don’t go to school during the summer term) so I’m usually in sneakers or rainboots, haha.

I’m really picky about the flats that I do have. I have a pair of plain black ballet flats, but I just don’t care for them very much for some reason. I also have this absolutely WONDERFUL pair of herringbone patterned flats, with black trim and a pointed toe. I wish I could wear them everyday…

I always wear my ballet flats barefooted year around even when it is cold out. I am over 50 and wear them barefooted for stlye and comfort.

For those who flats made blisters, you should wear nylons, knee highs or ankle highs. I always wear nylons with my flats, they are sheer and they feel smoother inside the shoe so they don’t hurt you when you have to walk a lot. Then it avoid blisters, it avoids the friction between your feet and the flat, so I recommend you to wear nylons, they are discret, then it looks better…

i love the way flats look but i can only wear the kind with the elastic heel. the normal kinds are either too big or too small so they either slip off or give me blisters.

I can’t stand flats. :( I worked at payless for 4 years, so I have tried on probably hundreds if not thousands of pairs, and they just feel like floppy pieces of ill-fitted paper on the bottoms of my feet. Maybe because I am an athlete and I have foot problems anyway, I like to have good structure. Fashion athletics, boots, and my cushioney Oakley flip flops are basically all I will ever wear.

I love the look of flats and I hate that I can’t wear them! I’ve tried on tons and no matter how well they seem to fit, my heels always seem to be too narrow and slip out…

Sigh. Flats are such a mixed blessing, IMO: they are generally comfy, but not as comfortably as good walking shoes, which I desperately need as I walk EVERYWHERE around my college campus that takes 20+ minutes to get across from one side to the other! They are cute, but less flattering on me than other shoes – I’m 5″1′, and flats often leave me looking short and stumpy. On the bright side, I think flats are GREAT for transitioning from class to a part-time office job or something. Presentable, cute, and generally good for standing in all day.
