I love the skirt you have on with the ballerina flats!

I am so glad flats and kitten heels are in style! Flats were all the rage in the 1960s and had a resurgance in the '80s. I got married in '78 and my sister in '81, and we and our attendentsi all wore kitten-heeled slingbacks. So cute. For me, it's a feminist issue too. Women deserve comfy low heeled shoes. Im an outdoorsy type and ive never been into high heels.

I’m so glad you are embracing flat shoes! I have been wearing zero-drop shoes for 5 years now, and they really have changed my life. My feet don’t hurt anymore and neither do my ankles, knees and back.

Love those flats Marie-Anne. A few years ago I would not look at flat shoes but now at 76 yrs they are a must and your choices are perfect. Many thanks as usual for your guidance.x

My favorite is ballet flats. I probably already own 11 pairs but i don't have any pastels. Sounds like i need to go shopping. 😊

I live in Vionics. They are wonderful for foot problems and their ballet flats are my go to shoe all year round. My shoe uniform.

I love my Mary Janes from Clarks. The ones I now use for gardening have 1 strap and the newer ones I wear out and about have elastic criss cross straps. A nice little touch of difference. They are so comfortable, yet stylish too. My doctor said I needed to have Brooks walking shoes, so I got them, but find my Mary Janes just as supportive and comfortable.

I love “almond-toes” in footwear, they can be as comfy as round toes for those of us with wider toes, but they are often difficult to find. I definitely prefer a squarish-toe shape over a really rounded one, but sometimes will compromise on that if the footwear is otherwise perfect, as in a pair of taupe suede boots I just got. I think a squared-off, or slightly tapered, shape would be a more stylish, but I will still enjoy them. I’m discovering that many of my ankle-boots have such low shafts that thet don’t look good with shorter, straight trousers. They were designed for the days when we wore skinnies that covered the ankles and even bunched up there.

Those Sole Bliss sneakers sound promising for foot problems and that's a lovely find, Marie-Anne. Love your modelling 💕

Here in the US we call those "derbies" "oxfords" -- not sure why. Possibly because of the British? I remember as a young dancer, we actually had a very minimalist version we referred to as jazz oxfords. But these oxfords are much more supportive and you can find them in many colors, even in two tone - what we called wing tips!

To be able to wear the ballet flats without pain, I buy them one size larger than my usual size. Then, I put a thin gel insole and a small gel wedge under the heel. If they come off the foot, I put some elastic bands on them (they look like they were Mary Jane) In case that were usefull for someone.

The lilac look is lovely on you, but I love the leather pants with the pale pink jacket and the “Les derbies”!❤

Such a lovely purple sweater and the scarf colors are so classy looking with it!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😊

Marie-Anne, so far I have not had a chance to shop for Mary Jane flat in a neutral color- I love Mary Janes, ( had comfortable, lovely soft Capazios my senior year high school) - so will look on line...now as we have warmer weather I'm wearing my ballet flats in red and also black as I did Friday ...thank you for the FUN UPDATES! In Wyoming our selection is very limited as so many stores closed and I am still paying for my expensive hearing aids ( I have 80% loss ,approximately, in both ears). So at this point I am collecting ideas and look forward to shopping in the future.

Beautiful selection for flat shoes, Marie-Anne. My all time favourites are ballet flats, Mary Janes and loafers. Those sneakers look so comfortable and chic! Comfort in style is always possible. Love all your outfits and shoes. You're looking so youthful. Merci 💜

I luv your lilac look.

I love a cute Mary Jane but was especially happy to see the Oxford style ('derbies') as I've always loved those. They're kinda nerdy, but in the best way. Maybe a new pair of sandals this year, too. I need to go shoe-shopping now! Thanks, Marie-Anne!

Anything with a strap or strap. I walk out of ballerina flats or mules. I have a narrow heel and high arch. Love that we have so many good flat choices.

Love my Mary Jane’s and ballerines, love the scarf and the purple sweater on you 🙂
