Your comm...Hi Lucia - sorry for the delay replying. Your comment came through when I was away last week and I'm still catching up! To answer your question, I have had a thin rubber sole put on them - as I do with all my leather soled shoes. I wore them a few times to roughen up the sole for better adhesion and then brought them in to be soled. It protects the shoes and it makes me less liable to slip - which I've been known to do on occasion. :) Hope this helps!

I received the email with the flats came in and thought it was meant to be (naturally, if a shoe carries the same name as your daughter you ought to own pair right??!!) but haven't taken the plunge yet. So great to read a review on them, I really think they should be mine! xGlamRosiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05715232195418834831[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309613786929270593.post-51326486248205495232015-06-23T19:20:19.929+01:002015-06-23T19:20:19.929+01:00They're fab Avril.

I know you don't want to get them wrecked but as they're flat they're perfect for the school run and running in and out of the car, shopping etc. I do love a high heel but also love my fancy flats too, they can really dress up and otherwise boring outfit of jeans and a Breton. Wear them and enjoy!

You never know you might eventually go off them and then you will never have let them have their moment. I've done that with some shoes.
