The ones in the middle remind me of quilted Delmans or Chanels. Well, I like those French Sole flats. The ones in the middle remind me of quilted Delmans or Chanels.

In addition, several pairs of Pappagallo flats would be wonderful also.

I've thought about sewing ribbons ties on to some. Other drawbacks is that you can feel every bump and piece of trash you encounter in the street and they do not seem to last well as walking shoes -- and I am a person who walks a lot every day.

I swear, I have very picky feet (marathoner, long-distance hiker, etc), and I still prefer a slight heel. Flat shoes make me walk awkwardly, and go ker-thunk, ker-thunk, ker-thunk. Plus, I feel as if my heel is striking the ground at an odd angle, which makes me worry about if I'm damaging my knees. Also, when you look at "comfort" brands (ecco, naot, stonefly, clarks, etc), they all have a slight (~1") heel. I think they're onto something... And... La Petite Acadienne... Isaac Mizrahi makes wonderful flats with soooffft leather. These are on (deep) sale at endless: I got the gold ones, very nice, but found that yes, comfirmed, I really cannot walk comfortably with flat flats. :) Does anyone else find very flat flats less comfy than low heels?

(She has very sensitive feets, evidently.) She will persevere, however, as those flats, particularly the stripey ones, are simply delightful.
