24 Classy Couture Flats

From Velour Studded Loafers to Luxury Leopard Shoes

— January 8, 2013 — Fashion
Couture flats are a great alternative to wearing stilettos or platforms. They offer comfort and functionality without sacrificing style and intrigue.

There is a wide range of designer shoes that come in flat versions. Luxury labels like Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, Louis Vuitton and Givenchy have branched out of their stiletto comfort zones and moved on to produce and release stylish alternatives such as loafers, brogues and even flip-flops. These shoes are made with the best materials, feature serious craftsmanship and ornate details. Must-haves include studded pairs, metallic options and any pair that comes in a graphic or outlandish pattern.

Footwear can be fashionable and still not cause discomfort while easily carrying you from day to night. Couture flats aren't always affordable, but they pack in the fun and are a sigh of relief for your feet.
