I thought it was over, but I guess it has just begun...Ballet flats, old-hag teacher flats, closed-toe heels, pumps, and mary janes!!! Is the media slowly trying to make women hide their toes/feet??? I was recently around a lady that I know FOR SURE has perfect feet, but had on those damn ballet flats, with no shoeplay!!! I opened my mind and tried to run with this idea, but its just not working for me...
Then today at the bookstore I sat near a hottie with flats on and waited, and waited, and waited, for nothing but the slightest arch!!! This DOES NOT interest me!!! A couple of years ago, these certainly would've been flip-flop/sandal scenarios...I believe nice feet should be free and open in nice weather, I'm sorry...Help me brothers & sisters!!!
Oh yeah another thing...If you google "2008 shoe trends", most sites have flats and closed-toe styles as the most popular...Am I just on a trip???

I try to take an optomistic view and think to myself "at least they're not shoes". Your chances of catching some shoeplay are much higher than something with laces.

i think the flats are kinda sexy i love the little toe cleavage you get to see
-------------------- Yeah! like the big toe is like the captain of the toes, but sometimes the toe next to the big toe gets so big that there's like a power struggle and the second toe assumes control of the foot. Posts: 336 | Registered: May 2006

I see...But these styles have always been available, I just wonder why it's a coincidence that they are the TOP styles for WARM weather...I'm sure it's not their mission to keep female feet moist is it???

I hate those ballet flats! Iīll have a party when that shoe fashion is over. Hopefully open toed shoes will come back in style next year....or preferably NO shoes.

I can't recall the thread to which I responded last Sept. or Oct. I made my dire predictions back then that the shoe trends were headed toward the unsexy and downright hideous; look forward to shoes that will not have a shape that would suggest that there might be a foot in it.
It is overly optimistic to believe that the popularity of open-toed shoes that we have recently enjoyed will return in 5-10 years. The last era of fashionable open-toed shoes closed at the end of the 70's! There was the occasional maverick "heeled sandal" that would crop up on a couple of celebrity feet through the 80's & 90's but was so rare and so brief as to be hardly worthy of note. The salad days for foot fanciers are, I fear, concluding. We are looking at a future of "practicle" feminine footwear for some time to come. It saddens me to think that the next time truly sexy shoes are in vogue, I'll be wrestling with a walker and a colostomy bag.
Take heart in this, however: though they aren't my favorite style, flip-flops have never gone out of fashion since they were introduced and I don't foresee that this will change. Then again, I won't be surprised if Al Gore makes an announcement that the manufacture and wearing of thong sandals has created an imminent threat of a harsher winter than the last.
There is no one who hopes more fervently that I am wrong than I do. Maybe I'm just "Gloomy Gus" tonight.

You believe no flat because you a a dude. If you had to walk in heels 19hrs a day - you would be singing a diff tune. I wear them 9-10hrs a day and yes I love a nice heel but on the weekends you will see me in ballet flat unless its sandal time. Our feet need a rest. If we wore the shoes you all wanted us to all the time, our feet would look HORRID!
Dont down the ballet flats. With the right outfit - they are great! lol

Dude, don't knock the mary jane's. I love the ones my wife has (one is with a 2" heel), they make her feet really ripe. Besides, they look great with the "schoolgirl" outfit she has. Posts: 48 | Registered: Mar 2008

Well, the thing is that for most girls itīs exactly the other way around...they wear ballet flats 9-10hrs a day and itīs really rare to still catch a glimpse of female feet in heels or open toed shoes. In my place of the world they even wear flats when they are going out to party or to a club.

I wish...even when the weather was boiling most girls on the street were wearing those ugly ballet shoes. I felt sorry for their feet (and for me).

Well Hal come to my place cause I am in heels almost 5 days a week for work. It's a power thing for me. I feel more powerful at work that way... Nuts I know...
Ballet flats to clubs? OK that's a little extreme dear! I was talking about to the market or to go get a burger...
