    Leather ballet flats? (really good lovely comfy ones!)

    I own a pair I loooove, seriously I've worn them most days of the year for well over a year. But I don't think the brand I love (the brand is 'Joto' from General Pants Co) are made anymore - either that or their marketing people have a lot of splainin' to do. I'm so cross I didn't buy more once I realised how much I loved them!

    Anyway. I love these shoes but wearing the same pair most days for almost 3 years in a row might signal that the ballet flats thing is working for me and I can justify another pair. So does anyone have any realllllly comfy and cute leather ballet flats they love? They have to be leather. My feet can breathe in leather, leather stretches and moulds to my feet, and it lasts longer.

    Remember no commercial/shop links in the thread, but you can PM them to me if you want.

    (For reference, this is them, but mine are red. Oh how I wish I'd got the silver too. And the gold. And the black...*sob*)

    Most Country Road flats are leather, plus they have 25% off ending tomorrow.

    Comfiest ones I ever got in my life were at Payless! They didn't last long though.

    Target Camberwell (note: must be Camberwell, they seem to have a good buyer there) often have amazing shoes, better than other stores.

    AND I will have to check what my work shoes are. I bought them second hand in 2008 and they are still going. I think they might be Diana Ferrari supersoft? Will have to check though, I keep them at work. They are soooo comfy, and obviously very long lasting.

    Nelle I love ballet flats too. There is a funky little shop in Montville that has fabbo ballet flats & I just might () have a few...

    I got this season (only about 2 months ago) a pair of black patent flats made by Zensu. They have a bow in the same leather across the top. They were about $120 (but I got them during a buy another & get 30% off them both sale - so I got two!).
    They are square toed but not round like yours & black patent. I got them from Mathers.

    I also have a pair of purple patent by Diana Ferrari (Supersoft) that are round toed with a gold buckle across the top. They were a bit cheaper but super comfy too. I got them from Myer.

    They look exactly like the ones I bought from Blochs, you know, the dance wear shop? They do casual stuff, too, shoes and clothes. Very comfy...
