"This is my 5th pair of these shoes I've bought in the past 5 years. They simply cannot be beat for two reasons. 1. they go with EVERYTHING. 2. They are the most comfortable flats I own. Yes, they do not give you arch support, but they feel like you are wearing nothing. I can pair them with black pants, dress jeans, or washed jeans and they look great. I've walked miles in these around NYC, etc. and have never once gotten a blister (and every other pair of shoes DOES give me a blister). I take them with me on vacation everywhere because they take up no room in my suitcase, go with everything, and are so comfortable. These can't be beat. The only bad thing is because they are so flexible, the leather does not hold up super (hence me buying 5 pairs- some duplicates). They tend to wear quicker than other shoes not because they get dirty but because the leather literally just flattens out. To me, they are well worth it even if i only get a year out because the price can't be beat and I wear them so much. Hope these are never discontinued! :)"
