I've been on the hunt for a pair of red flats for what seems like ages now. I had a pair that I loved and wore to death a couple years ago. I love how red flats instantly brighten up an otherwise basic outfit and make subtle prints pop. They can make an outfit feel more polished and put together or even fancier without sacrificing comfort.

I'd been watching a pair on Amazon for the past few months but didn't want to spend $30 on a brand I'd never heard of, so when I happened on this pair at my local Target, I had to try them on. I usually wear a 7 in shoes and these run at least a half size too big. I ended up ordering a 6.5 online.

My feet are pretty narrow and bony so I tend to stay away from this style of flat because they usually rub my big toe knuckle bones, but the toe on these comes up high enough that it's not a problem. It also eliminates any chance of toe cleavage. They also have a slightly cushioned footbed which makes them a little more comfortable than other flats I've owned.

I wore these for a full day of delivering magazines, which means a lot of walking. There was slight rubbing on my left heel (no blister or broken skin), but pretty much every pair of flat shoes I own rub on that side due to an old cheerleading injury. My feet hurt by the end of the day but that's to be expected when wearing shoes that have no support.
