These are unfortunately out of my price range at the moment, but I've run my MIA "Hepburn" flats into the ground and the don't make them anymore.

The...These are fantastic and should serve you well. The pointed toe makes them especially sophisticated and dressy while the flat heel makes them understated and casual. I don't see these ever going out of style. I snagged a similar pair from the Nordstrom Rack last year and while I don't wear them much I'm so glad they are in my wardrobe because when I need a dressy but highly functional (ie - comfy) shoe they are my go-to. I enjoy wearing mine with slim or wide leg capris in the warmer months. Makes me feel slightly Hepburn-chic with a modern twist because of the pointy toe.. ;)Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05164757779850762474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-78327060930936423662011-06-16T13:15:51.262-04:002011-06-16T13:15:51.262-04:00these are a great find! i love a shoe that reveals...these are a great find! i love a shoe that reveals toe cleavage and has no embellishments (which i find hides a shoe's poor construction/quality). these shoes look really well made.jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10455079295448117881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-54824842690229012712011-06-16T12:05:41.705-04:002011-06-16T12:05:41.705-04:00They are really beautiful! I love the simplicity ....They are really beautiful! I love the simplicity ... absolutely agree with you that it's so difficult to find non embellished flats. I'm with lin though in that I don't think those would work on my wide feet. I have a pair of Dries van Noten black ballet flats with a patent leather abstract flower on the toe that I usually wear ... even to weddings. I don't know that they are perfect, but since I don't often need dressy flats, I'm not looking to replace themShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02498676439284533678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-16417658782042670392011-06-16T11:36:42.298-04:002011-06-16T11:36:42.298-04:00they are beautiful! if i got them, i would probabl...they are beautiful! if i got them, i would probably end up wearing them in a jiffy, even with a vibram sole.i.renehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15924024460903149396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-25193499943478212642011-06-16T10:33:24.788-04:002011-06-16T10:33:24.788-04:00Oh dear, the words "dress shoe" make me ...Oh dear, the words "dress shoe" make me want to run away (in my ankle boots and tennis sneakers) and hide!

I'm not into heels of any kind because they just feel weird on me so I think my ideal 'dress' shoe is a pair of Lanvin ballet flats in plain black or patent black leather which are so comfy cause of the internal heel and good for day as well.

It's a good thing dressy occasions don't come up too often for me.<br /><br />Pointy flats are an interesting preposition - I've never been fond of how they look on my wide feet. I saw a pretty display at a shop the other day with navy, red, and cream pairs. Would love to see how you style these!yanqinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466658131536796827noreply@blogger.com
