Retro & Vintage Shoes

Every once in a while I hit this ‘stiletto wall’ and skimmers and flats prove to be this great comfort, so to speak.

Elastic Topline Flats, $450, Jil Sander

Stripe Multi Flats, $170, Osborn

I know some of you would rather live through the hip pain in those gorgeous Louboutins but a break from the usual is always refreshing, not to mention healthy. Flats do not have to be this go-to shoe. They’re fun absolutely versatile. Plus they encourage walking. Lots of it.

Cameron Ballet Flats, $225, Calvin Klein Collection

Sling Back Mouse Flats, $195, Marc by Marc Jacobs

Shopbop‘s huge collection of flats is just awesome. Designer labels obviously have caught on to to the chicness of flats. It’s a great daytime shoe! And personally, I love how they come in different colors and designs. There are even quirky ones like the Sling Back Mouse Flats from Marc by Marc Jacobs. Very, very cute.

Botswana Haircalf Flats, $198, Diane von Furstenberg

Lara Embossed Snake Ballet Flats, $175, Vera Wang Lavender Label

Ballet Flats, $495, Missoni

Another gorgeous design is from Diane von Furstenberg. The flat features a mix of leopard-print haircalf and deep blue pebbled leather. Other than the colors, its the textures that make it beautiful. And if that’s your thing, other textured designs that I stumbled onto are Missoni’s knit flats and Vera Wang Lavender Label’s snake embossed flats.
