Comfortable flats

[elleblue]

Help me shop!

I'm in the market for a pair of basic black leather flats. I need ones with a toe box on the short side (think ones that may show toe cleavage on long toed people) because I have short toes and some styles cut into the tops of my feet. 

I've considered tieks but dislike the teal sole and truthfully would prefer a less expensive shoe than those because I don't wear flats all that often.

I just bought a pair of Timberland flats that I'm loving. I believe they were $80ish on Amazon.

What shape do you prefer? Rounded, pointed?

[mrsukyankee]

Clarks. They are awesome.

Don't laugh - but I have these flats by Easy Spirit:





They look dressy enough for work and are actually way more comfortable than my trusty Cole Haan ballet flats.  I bought three colors.  You can find them cheaper sometimes if you look for sales, and are 25% at Macy's right now.

Rounded. I need some room for my short toes.  

I actually like the look of pointed but right now I want some good walking flats for my upcoming trip.

Sam Edelman Felicia flats. Obsessed.

I love my cole haan flats, all of them. Wearing the maria sharapova ones right now.

I love J. Crew flats. I always get them from ThredUp. A silver pair is on sale there right now for $38.

I love my Vince Camuto ones. The leather is very soft, but it is a ballet flat so the sides are somewhat low, if you are trying to avoid that.

I just bought a pair by Jessica Simpson that are really comfortable. Also, I have tried these on and like them:

they almost have a small built in wedge effect. I love the colors offered too. In the fall there were rich reds, purple and a really pretty blue.

These are great and hold up extremely well.

Bass Factory Outlet has some great flats. I have had 4 pairs from them and they last a good 3 years, with constant wear. I don't wear any heels to work, business casual environment, and I walk to work in them.

Another fan of Vince Camuto.

I like Cole haan and Sam Edelman. I'm not sure if they will help your short toe request though.

I recommended these in another thread this week also. They are truly the comfiest flats I've worn

I have a similar issue, but mine is bc I have arthritis (ugh) in the bone below below my big toe (like a bunion, I guess?)  so toe cleavage shoes are better...

anyway. I found this link, a while ago: www.shoesofprey.com/style-help/339809285/toe-cleavage

I haven't found a great pair yet, for myself -- so do share when you find something that works!

I love these too, but my black leather ones have not held up very well. I do wear them a lot, and I love them so much (and have such terrible luck with flats) that I bought a new pair to keep as my nice ones, lol. So I guess this is still an endorsement, but with reservations.

Thanks for recs everyone. I ordered a few pairs to try from zappos (free one day shipping and free returns). Crossing fingers one of the pairs suits my needs.

J.Crew Cece flats are pretty comfortable.
