Jabble Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Anyone else really like ballet flats? For some reason I think they look really cute on a girl. I eventually broke down and ordered me a pair; they feel really cool to wear for some reason. Please share stories.
Shafted Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 I do. I think I would like a pair as house slippers. Shafted, the boots that is!

You took a "huge risk" with this poll in a high heels forum But I dare to admit I like them too ! I have two pairs, in white and black. love to watch them on cute girls, love to wear them myself
Shafted Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 I don't! BTW, you're banned for even bringing the subject up and as for you Shafted, you should know better! I didn't say I'd wear them out.

Cl0setheels Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 I own a pair aswell and they are so comfy! Probably soon i will buy another pair or two. I've seen some really cute ones at a local store (last 3 pics attached).

Cl0setheels Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 The flat gates? We're allowed to have some guilty pleasures i guess
StormClaw Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Glad Im not the only one on a high heel forum that like them.I must say I like them,very comfy as well.And yes I agree, they do look cute on girls. Dr. Shoe looks like youll have to ban more than one of us
ilikekicks Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Flats looking different and ' not all the same ' with goofy platforms on everything. I bought 2 pairs last night and have a bunch more or various types. As Shafted said, "I would like a pair as house slippers." and thats exactly what I do. Wear them around the house.. once in a while I'll go out in them. REPEATEDLY ARGUMENTATIVE, INSULTING AND RUDE. BANNED FOR LIFE.
Jabble Posted March 14, 2012 Author Posted March 14, 2012 Yes, I knew it was risky posting anything about the Flats WITHOUT COMPARING THEM TO HIGH HEELS. There is a thread about flat shoes compared to high heels in the "girls forum"; that seems reasonable. The Flats I just bought have a very very small type of heel. Thank you.
rxrenesis Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 At risk of being banished I must admit I too own flats. And I'm sure quite a few of you heelers have a pair rx If the shoe fits BUY IT http://s10.photobucket.com/albums/a145/rxrenesis/Shoe%20Shots/
Heel-Lover Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Hi, I too have many pairs of flats (I must have at least 20 pairs) They too have lovely styles. I particularly like peep-toed flats. Cheers Heel-Lover
Jarl Ayari Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I own one pair as morning slippers, just to slip on when I first get out of bed... However I really should get back to heels first thing... Smile and the whole world smiles with you, Fart and your on your own!!!
newheeler Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I might be left alone -at least in this topic- but they look boring to me, i'd rather wear normal or sport shoes for flats. Don't worry, be happy - in heels!
Rockpup Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I do not have a plain pair of flats, but have been looking. I do have and wear a couple pairs of the Merrel Pure Glive mary jane style, one red, one black. I also have the fivefingers classic and sprint models. All are very comfortable when out and about.

Gudulitooo Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 As I am tall I considered it. I found this guy wears unbelievable outfits, while this man is simply inserting ballet flats in is daily outfits. And this one has a collection of runway male models in ballet flats. Cool but even more niche than high heels for men !!
Cl0setheels Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I now own two pair, just bought the black ones with ankle straps i posted one page earlier. They look so cute

hh4evr1 Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 I have a few pairs. The first pair I got have a pointed toe.
Steve63130 Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 My wife bought me a pair of Valley Lane black leather flats back in the late 1970s, which I used to use as slippers whenever we'd travel, as they packed in a lot less space than men's slippers, and I loved them. She was ok with me wearing them, even in front of her mother when we'd stay over at her place. I still have them and wear them occasionally. Many years ago I also bought a pair of Payless Ribbed Flats (kind of a wavy sole for traction), which are all man-made and a bit lighter in weight. I wear those too, when traveling. Other than wearing them in the hotel to go get ice down the hall, or get something from the front desk, I don't wear them in public. I keep them strictly for indoors. So they have a place in my wardrobe, but I much prefer heels, and I've often substituted heels for flats lately when traveling. Steve
SleekHeels Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 I like them but not as much as heels of course. Strangely I've not worn them in public: when I change out of my heels I tend to wear regular "guy" flats, but I'll have to give my plain/ballet flats a try now that spring's approaching, they'd probably coordinate better with my outfits though I'd have to turn up my jeans which might not look so good (I'm not really a fan of the scuffed jeans look). I used to be addicted to trying to wear my heels everywhere I could, but now I don't see the point of trashing my feet and my heels walking long distances in them. If you like it, wear it.
fumikaheels Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 I'll admit it; I own a few pairs myself. One pair I purchased at DSW (my first in-store purchase; more on that later). Steve Madden P-Heaven. I love them as well and own several pairs including three from the Steve Madden P-Heaven line. Flats can be cute and sexy while giving a flirty flair to an outfit. The pair I'm wearing in the photos was a very inexpensive shoe from Soda in a black satin with a pretty offset bow on the vamp.

chris100575 Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 I never used to, but recently I've seen a lot of girls wearing them with black opaque tights and I've developed a liking for the look. I don't own a pair yet but if I find a nice pair...
