I grew up wearing heels pretty much all the time. The very pointy-toed ones, in all different colors. I have very vivid memories of my uncles messing with me at family gatherings, snickering that my toes were going to take on the shape of the shoes and become pointed, too. Thank goodness that never happened! But, a lot has changed since I have become a Mama and moved to New York City – where much walking while holding oversized bags, backpacks, groceries, and trying to grab onto Branden’s wiggly hand as we cross the streets takes place. Yes, I’ve learned a lot from my former self, and I rarely do the above walking in the sky-high heels of my past.
I truly do love flats, and they now come in so many fun colors – and even pointed toes! But my favorites have got to be Easy Spirit flats, as they are absolutely stylish and beyond comfortable in every way imaginable! They are a New York City Mama’s dream!
// Gessica Ballet Flats //
I’m so excited to help Easy Spirit welcome their new spring arrivals by sharing my favorite Easy Spirit Flats with you all! The Gessica flats are super chic and comfortable while being two-toned, and they come in a variety of color combinations and width and length to fit every foot! These adorable flats are a really great item to add to your Spring 2015 wardrobe that will become you go-to shoe!
Fashionably Yours,
Allison

Flats are great for that reason alone! (Is there anyone faster than a two year old looking for fun/trouble??!!)

And sometimes the low heels are even more painful, right? But I have found a few pairs that do work for me, thank goodness!
Toni Marie Caravello says
I love a good pump or platform since I am short. Not a fan of “heels” but I do need some height….
Deborah Hetrick Catanese says
There seem to be some great “flat” platform sandals/thongs out for spring and sumer 2015. That should help with us girls who want to feel taller sometimes!
