Saturday Shoelust: Flats

Lately, one of my knees has inexplicably started acting up. This means, among other things (like say, avoiding stairs and steep inclines at all costs!) that wearing heels is, at least right now, a bad idea. I’ve been looking for some cute, comfortable flats for summer, and I thought I’d share my finds with y’all…

I have a serious aversion to open toed sandals. I’m kind of weird about my feet feeling dirty (namely, in that I really do not like it!). I’m also convinced that Austin itself is trying to break me of this aversion with incredibly hot days that make anything except for sandals seem stifling by comparison. Stifled feet or dirty feet, I don’t know which is worse…either way, these Born sandals are cute enough to make me consider wearing them.

These are more like it – open weave flats are a good alternative to sandals without the grime that comes with open toed shoes.

I’m a sucker for shiny shoes. These also come in red, green, copper/bronze, and black. It’s pretty much a toss up between silver and black for me.

I’m not 100% for sure I’d ever actually buy or wear these (not least because they’re the most expensive shoes on ths list by far)…but you can’t deny that they’re awesome!

    I am glad to see we are both haters on the dirty feet feeling! Though, I’ll admit that I love cool feet more. Cute picks!

    I am the same way about open toed shoes…

    I’m glad I’m not the only one!! If my feet feel too dirty I have to randomly wash them throughout the day, I kid you not.
