What's up with all the flats?

[Anonymous]

Sorry ladies - but have we all forgotten the wedge? I skimmed this thread, so sorry if I missed a mention of this type of shoe. On-trend and as flattering as heels, but also if you find the right ones, they are so comfortable and completely walkable.

Also putting in a plug for Rockport heels. There are several styles many that are not matronly at all but very comfy).

Kitten heels look not only matronly but as if the woman wearing them is bloated and is on the first painful day of her period.

Where are all the cute wedges then? Post some here. I can't find any. And I don't want to go teetering around on platform heels.

It sucks that the only options out there are flats or 3+ inch heels. I can't wear either. I have extremely high arches and my feet are actually technically malformed - basically I have to wear a 1-2 inch heel to accommodate my weird feet. I have a horrible time finding stylish shoes that don't kill my feet. If only people weren't so judgmental about fashion...

Kitten heals are a very classic style if worn correctly.

Honestly, I think most (all?) of those outfits would look better with either a higher heel or a ballet flat. They don't look BAD, but they would also be much improved with a more up-to-date style. I'm 31, btw.

Yeah, but most people don't look look as good and well-put together as the women in those photos. And all those ladies have nice thin calves.

Everyone else ends up looking like Memaw on Easter Sunday.

I'm 29, and I love vintage style. I just think its an option for women for might choose a kitten heal instead of flats or high heals. The pictures below Jackie O are up to date ways to wear vintage stuff.

LMAO, I'm the poster about kitten heals. I have not heard the word Memaw since I've been up here. That aside I'm sure even if someone has Memaw legs with the right dress or skirt they can make their legs "appear" longer.

I'm all for vintage style, but it usually looks best when you update it with more modern accessories. Straight copying a vintage style just makes you look dated, instead of put-together and fun.

Completely agree. Kitten heels do something really weird to the shape of a leg.

Depends on your style. I am not a huge espadrille fan, nor do I love this color, but this style/wedge height could be comfortable and easy to get on... and not look schlumpy.

I have a pair of these in black and they are insanely comfy. I pretty wear them all summer long - cute with shorts, long skirts, dresses, etc. I am short so I like to have some height. I don't think flats flatter my legs at all.
