Flats are back for Spring 2010

Submitted by Mimi on Friday, 20 November 200913 Comments

As sad as I am to admit this, as I’m definitely a heel’s girl. I practically live in them. Flats are going to be huge this upcoming spring and summer. It was quite shocking to see most designers base their whole Spring 2010 collection on flats. Well…I guess our feet need a break from the crazy, towering shoes we’ve been wearing the last couple of years. But in defense of heels, most flats are super unflattering and make even the tall and skinny models look short and stumpy. Also, most foot experts warn that you face as many risks wearing flats as you do teetering on heels. So, what to do? Always alternate your shoe style – from high to low, trainer to boot – and avoid wearing a particular pair day in, day out. So take note girls. And put those extreme heels in storage!

Are you happy or sad that flats are going to be more popular than heels for the next year or so?

I love flats and heels equally well, so I’m not too bummed about flats making a comeback:)

I also love flats, and I’m actually excited that it will actually be “in”. I love heels though, so not sure if I’d pack away all of them… a good balance I think is important. Plus depends on the outing and the occasion.

I’m not particularly tall, and I have short legs so I loveeee how my high heels do wonders, but I love flats for their comfort =)

I’ll only be sad if they neglect making sexy heels =(
