I got mine last spring and while they are comfortable at first, they do start to hurt as the day goes on. I sized up by half a size and my big toe aches by the end of the day. The soles of my feet hurt too; it's as if the shoe needs more cushioning in the footbed. That said, they're so pretty that I'm willing to suffer a little for fashion.

The Revas were a torture device for my tootsies, so ixnay on those.
 
I purchased my first pair of Caroline flats 2 weeks ago. I absolutely LOVE them! Plus i got them in blue/black which i've never seen before. I always see the nude ones, which would never suit me. I haven't worn them properly yet as it's winter but when I tried them on they were super comfy! :)
 
i got a pair of black suede ones from the saks 70% sale. they only had a size 7.5 in stock and i am a regular size 6 in other brands. however the carolines fit me perfectly in the 7.5, i was surprised. The revas in a 7 were the most uncomfortable and painful shoes i have ever tried on!
 
Hi ladies,

I already own a pair of Tory Burch metallic Revas.
A year later, I am still trying to break them in.

And then I spotted the TB Caroline flat.

Does anyone own this shoe? I tried doing a search but no dice.
Is it the same as the Revas? Is it comfy?
If so, I might have to consider getting the black version or forsake TB flats forever. Thanks for your help. =)
I have the carolina flats and the Reva flats and I went up a 1/2 size on all and they feel great.
 
Dropping in from the LV forum. :smile1: I absolutely LOVE Revas, but in my experience they are not comfortable. The Caroline, on the other hand, feels amazing. I can't believe the difference between the two. I have heard many, many people complain about the Revas. I simply love them so much, that I continue buying them. But if the Carolines came in more colors (I have only seen nude and black) I would buy those more often. I was concerned the stretchy fabric around the opening of the Caroline would get dirty, but these shoes have been great. Highly recommend. And if you do like the Revas, they become slightly more comfortable over time in my experience. One note: the patent leather Revas are the *worst* when it comes to comfort. Too stiff!
 
Just a quick question! I was at Nordstrom today for hours trying to decide between the Reva and the Caroline styles. The Revas in an 11 were good length wise, but pinched all across the width. I have totally flat feet and know that TB flats run narrow/normal. I loved the look of Reva and tried so hard to love the way they felt, but got nervous after reading so many reviews that they just never get comfortable. I *love* the caroline. The 11 is a bit big, but the 10.5 is a bit too short. I wanted them in the Camelia pink, but they were all sold out and the black patent is so pretty - but I think the nude shade will be better for me for spring/summer. I'm going to order them online, but was just curious if any of you know if the elastic tends to stretch out on the Caroline style. I would hate for them to be falling off my feet, but I don't want my toes to be cramped either :(.
 
Mine haven't stretched out at all. I have the black and the nude color, and the fit the same as the day I bought them. I'm an 8 in both Caroline's and Reva's, and a 7.5 in every other shoe on the planet. The Caroline's are great, except for the piece of patent leather in the elastic on the back. That kills me, so I put in some of the heel cushions. Best of luck!

Thank you so much TabiB! :)
 
I got a pair of black caroline over the weekend at nordstroms and they are super comfy I prepared for this though and already put the band aids on the back of my heals I also got the shoe liners and they make a huge huge difference I have very small feet a 5.5 is good I tried a 5 on but that just felt like I was going to be smooshed to death I wore then around the hotel room and walk around a lot in them also did a lot if sit and wiggle the toe box I wore them for a short trip to target and they did well :) I think with any flat cheap or other wise you just have to read the reviews you tube and be prepared I think all flats require something and there is a lot of stuff that Is painful in the name of fashion .. I am plenty happy with my carolines :)
 
I have a real problem with Tory Burch flats.

This is my problem; One pair is good, Two pairs is too many, and Three pairs is not enough. Next thing I know I have a collection. :D First it happened with the Revas then the Eddies but the same thing has happened with the Carolines. My first pair were the Camellia pink and now I'm at 5 pairs. :smile1:

Rather then explain I'll just attach the picture.

I have the black patent Caroline. Had to go up half a size, put heel pads in to prevent blisters and walk slowly because they are so slippery? Not worth all that trouble!
