Do these puppies look familiar to you? You may have seen them on the feet of sales staff @ oh, I dunno Holt Renfrew, or maybe Saks Fifth Ave. Or, you might have a pair sitting in your closet right now as we speak.

Well, I bought a pair, suckered in by their cuteness and "obvious" comfort... they're flats, remember? Well, for those of you pondering the purchase, let me save you some grief, don't buy them! They're terrible.! Not only do they slip off your heels (due to the elastic that is not so elastic), but they're a real bitch to break in. Your feet initially slide to the front of the shoe when you walk, and it's super crushing on your poor toes :(

I guess they're cuteness could be pardoned if you decided to buy them only for special events, ones where you don't really have to walk anywhere and gasp, don't have to dance! Only one word comes to mind when I think of my Tory Burch flats: ouch.
