COMFORT IS KEY - MY FAVORITE FLATS1

 

Not long ago, someone mentioned to me that they love my blog and love looking at the high heels, but they would rather wear flats.  I decided to do a post on my favorite flats and as I was looking at websites, I became very interested in finding out more about the designers.  I hope you enjoy reading a little about the designers who designed some of the beautiful shoes featured in this post.  Unfortunately, I also realized just how many pairs of shoes I am needing right now!  It seems that I am low on flats and there are so many really great pairs!  The first pair of Steve Madden silver beauties will be in my closet for Spring!
