So many great choices! I found these really cute flats from Chinese Laundry – “discrete”. They have a cute buckle on them and soo comfortable! Great with casual and dressy looks!

Wow thats alot of shoes Danielle!

Great post. You gave me two new brands to try and review: Venettini and Daniel Engel. I just did a post on my blog about Aerosoles today. I just ordered a pair of Ecco Ballerina flats and will let you know what I think.

Nicole, thanks so much for the advice. I’ve only tossed my black ones in once and they were fine, but I’m definitely going to be more careful in the future! I would be devastated if anything happened to those shoes, I seriously live in them!!

I just ordered these from Zappos…

I’m not keeping all of them but they are the ones that I found the most comfy! The Teva Makaylas are great but they make my feet really sweaty w/o socks even though they’re leather.

I was on the look for the best black flats after seeing them everywhere. I finally found them: Ecco Ballerina

Expensive but I will have these for a long time. The quality is excellent.

Kim just a note, I put my daughters crocs in the washing machine instead of the dishwasher b/c I had a friend who ended up with one croc correct size, the other all deformed and messed up. Just a note, I wouldn’t want you to ruin your shoes! Steve Madden also had a cute line of ballet flats that I got at Nordstrom for under$40, I love them and wear them all the time!

I live in my Tory Burch Reva flats. I was a “heel girl” for years… but keeping up with a 2 year old makes flats a necessity! I love that my Tory Burch’s are super comfortable and very stylish!

I too love my crocs, except I wear the Alice style. They are little Mary Jane (without the clog style and all the holes) and are the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever worn. I am also a teacher and I wear these every day. They come in a lot of colors (I have brown and black) and also come in a shiny finish or a faux suade finish. Best thing about them is that I can toss them in the dishwasher if they get dirty! LOL
