Many women jump at the opportunity to wear cute ballet flats, like the ones within the Leibling Shoes Summer 2011 collection, as opposed to heels everyday. Heels are synonymous with blisters, bunions and sore feet as a whole for many women, and considering this, flats have become very popular as an alternative.
The Leibling Shoes Summer 2011 collection has a flirty mix of comfy flats and equally comfy heels, with heights that are far from sky-scraping stilettos. The 70s-inspired designs within this season's collection have retro flair and elegance.
Bright blues, yellows, reds and corals are paired with slingback and peep-toe shoe styles to form a flirty shoe collection with flair. If you're looking to invest in some charming shoes this season, these flats and heels would compliment any existing wardrobe.
