DU ladies, flat shoes are in

[senseandsensibility]

And I was glad at first, because I thought they were comfortable. But today I tried on ten pairs of "flats" in the shoe store, and they all hurt my feet. I'm sticking with my three inch wedges and heels, thank you very much.:shrug:

1. Why did they hurt?

:shrug:

[senseandsensibility]

2. They all seemed to cut very tightly across the top of my foot.

Is it just me?

3. no it's not just you, my daughter has a high instep or "the hoof" as we call it and i have flat feet

so find flats that fit is difficult, plus i need something with a little support and ballet flats don't have any.

4. Good to hear it's not just me.

I may be the only woman not wearing them this summer.

17. I must have a hoof

I never realized it befoe. Geez.

[AlCzervik]

19. thats what she called it, her instep is super high so finding cute and comfy shoes

is always a challenge and she's 13 so having something cute is always good.

5. But I just got some new flats!!

A classic tennis shoe that is the same as 40 years ago except the price. Very comfy.

12. she just says that coz it harder to kick someone ass while in heels!

yes INDEED!

[hippywife]

14. It would kind of lessen the effect

if one were to fall on one's own ass while trying to kick someone else's. ;)

10. Exactly.

My favorite shoe.




Whether the fashionistas like it or not.

9. Just find shoes that fit

Eliminating the heel is not the problem, high arches are.

I have high arches, and yet I haven't worn heels in years. Trust me, your back will thank you.

Heels are a western form of torture for women.

11. Oh I love flats! Can't abide anything over 1 inch heel...

but maybe that's coz I'm over 50, overweight,
and usually overwrought!

13. Welcome

to the club! :rofl:

:hi:

15. i love my flats

then again my flats consist of sneakers and ballet slippers. other than that i stick with my heels for work and such.

[senseandsensibility]

16. That's me

Sneakers and ballet slippers. But I've lately seen other women wearing more formal flat shoes to work, and I wanted in on the action. Oh well, I guess it's just not meant to be.

18. You give up rather easily
