Flat shoes are ugly??

Yes, absolutely some are.  Some are ungainly and unpleasant and full of holes after a few weeks wear but they assuage our 1st world guilt and some hipster 12 year old said they were cool, so everyone wears them (if that isn't enough description for you to know the shoes I'm referring to, then you are better off not knowing and I will not be responsible for them entering another persons consciousness).  They have no support, they aren't comfortable and here is a good fashion rule if something is promoted as Unisex you will get no sex whilst wearing it.  Just Saying, you've bought them now and socially you have done the acceptable thing, now do the friendly thing shove them to the back of your wardrobe and put some decent shoes on.

I know in the summer the last thing you want to put on is a mile high heel, I don't know why this is true but inevitably when I wear heels in summer for one reason or another I end up bare foot and that can be a truly terrifying prospect.  So I thought I'd introduce you to some comfortable summer flat options that are just that little bit nicer and more useful than your 'fabric friends'.


Flat shoes can be just as elegant if not more so than their taller friends, the right pair will work well for all occasions, choosing a pair with an unexpected twist - be it literally a twist or a bright colour will add interest to many of your less complex summer outfits.  However my one piece of advice would be to think about your walk, stop schlepping around and put a bit of bounce in your step the birds are singing and it's summer.  So let's pretend we're happy about it!
