Honestly, I am not that big on wearing flats.
I like to be tall.
Like, really tall.
I’m 5’9″ with bare feet and my preferred heel height adds another 3 or 4 inches. On a good day, Spouse and I are seeing eye to eye, and he’s 6’3″.
So, yeah, I don’t wear flats all that much.
Except… this morning I ran 19 miles and pre-run I already had one toenail that was threatening to fall off.
Post-run inspection of my purple nail confirms that it’s definitely on its way out. Pitching my foot forward into a pointy toe box suddenly doesn’t seem all that appealing.
I’m trying to decide if I want to bite the bullet and buy a pair of Tieks, the pricey ballet flats that are seemingly cropping up everywhere I turn.
Their distinctive Tiffany blue sole is pretty darn cute:
Tieks come in about 50 different colors or patterns and range in price from $175 to $295.
I like the snake print ones, which unfortunately are at the upper price point. Sigh.
What color would you get?

Love those and always wanted a pair but the price is a bit steep. Have u checked out the lucky brand emmies yet? I have three pairs and love em.
Will definitely check those out! Thanks for the tip. Love your blog!
I’ve heard about these! Agree, super cute. But at 5’4″, I need heels. I’ve learned that shoes are a worthy investment. I’ve got a closet full of Cole Haans and they are worth every penny.
Great shoes! I have some hot pink Cole Haan driving mocs that I love!
BUY them!!! I’m 5’11” with hard-to-fit feet, and my 7 *cough* yes, 7 pairs of Tieks are worth every cent. CUSHIONY underneath, and they mold to your feet. For the matte ones, I buy my normal size (12), and for the patents and snakes, I size up to size 13. Every time I slip my onto my feet, I literally go, “Mmmmmmmmm….”
You are my new best friend! Will do!
