Chloe Dune Ballerina Slipper

Megs · Apr 12th, 2006, 12:57 AM

For many people bags and shoes go hand in hand. For me shoes are a new found love. While I was growing up, both in age and height, I began to feel a bit uncomfortable about my height. I finally stopped growing when I reached 5'10 and around that time I also finally began to embrace and love my height. Just because I can't always wear huge heels (they would make me taller than most), doesn't mean I can't obsess over cute flats. I am on my quest for the cutest flats of the season, so give me your input. Today I ran into the Chloe Dune Ballerina Slipper. Yes, like I said before, I am obsessed with Chloe. These ballerina slippers are made of a dune colored satin and show off feminine front straps with ties. The big clincher for me is the flat heel. Now, I am falling for Chloe shoes. Anyone else think this could be a perfect shoe for spring/summer? Available via Bergdorf Goodman for $490.

i think they'd be absolutely gorgeous on somebody tall with long legs.....but i feel like on somebody short like me the ankle tie would make my legs look short and stumpy

I love, love, love those ballerinas!!!

I like them even more in the soft leather version, though (that satin would get dirty pretty quickly

).

With my ridiculously small feet for my height (almost comical looking!

), I'm hopeless in anything higher than a 2 3/4" heel (how the h*ll does SJP run in 4" heels?!

).

Also, I'm 5'8" and so I scare most men when I wear high heels!

Sadly, though, I can't order from Bergdorf Goodman or Neiman Marcus - as they don't ship to the UK

.

I adore those shoes!!! I didn't know they also came in leather? I MUST have them!!!

And I'm quite the Chloe flats fan myself...I have two pairs and love them :)

I think they come in a choice of black, or red leather; but there may be other colours available, too.

Weird Megs! I almost asked you in a thread yesterday how tall you were . . . I had a feeling you were! Lucky gal!

I agree with JC2239. I think they are cute, but would look ridiculous on someone really short. Sigh.

Love them! Not for me (5'1 1/2") but I really like them. The red ones on Mischa Barton are beautiful.
