I always hated flats, until I finally broke down and bought a pair of Tory Burch's Eddie flats in black patent for a trip to London last year. I needed some sort of practical and comfortable walking shoe, but I didn't want to sacrifice style, and wanted a variation from my usual boots (London in October is no place for my other preferred footwear, the sandal). A friend recommended Repetto, but those did not sit well on my feet, and I tried several other brands that tended to either hug too much, or slip off my heel far too easily. I liked the construction of the Eddie because it's elastic all around, but not too tight, and it comes in real leathers that breathe and adjust to fit to the foot. I wound up wearing the shoes all of the time, both in London and in my day to day life, and added a tan patent pair to my shoe wardrobe last spring. Now that I have two practical, wear with everything colors, I am starting to look at some of the other colors and materials the Eddie comes in - I don't want to deviate from the style, which I know to be a perfect fit, comfortable enough for a few hours of walking, and of a simple design with minimal branding. This fall the Eddie came out in watersnake leather, and I am obsessed. The green shade of malachite is my personal must - a color like this is bright enough to pop, while still muted enough to go with everything.

Great post even though it's kinda old already. Sadly, Tory stopped making the Eddie but she does have some comfy alternatives. The TB Minnie's are quite comfy. Thankfully I still own 7 pairs of the TB Eddies and they're still in good shape so I'm set for a few more years. :)
