worth $200??

OK, i went to lillettes a few weeks ago and one of the saleswomen showed me these awesome ballet flats (they have a teeny-tiny wedge heel).. she never told me the price but i've been searching the web for them since..


so i found them.. they're $199! for flats! Do you think it's worth it? I mean they're the only shoes i'll be wearing the whole day..








edit: trying to add a pic that shows the wedge..

Re: worth $200??

Are they any particular brand? If not, I'd say no. I bought my shoes from Shoe Elegance in Lynbrook. They were about $70. They also have a great selection.

Re: worth $200??

If you absolutely love them and haven't found anything else that you like, I would get them. You only buy your wedding shoes once!!!

Re: worth $200??

I think David's Bridal has something similar much much cheaper I would continue looking before spending $200 on them.

I just looked it up. It looks like the stones are actually Swarovski crystals. If so, then yes $200 is a good price. BUT, if you're not a Swarovski snob like I am ( ), and you don't absolutely LOVE them, I'd keep looking. I'm sure you could find something similar for cheaper too (if you want to).

Re: worth $200??

i dont think flats are worth it for $200 unless they're a specific brand. i think you should try to find something similar for less.

Re: worth $200??

u cant put a price on comfort and on something u LOVE.


me personally, if i feel those shoes were being sold at payless for 15$ no1 would buy them, same with most of the bridal shoes.. its just when these stores mark these shoes to a ridiculous amount , then ppl are 'dying ' to get them. its human nature.

i would not pay 200$ for them but if YOU like them get them.


also, just because they are flat, doesnt mean they are comfortable. so just keep that in mind.

i would buy a pair of less expensive heels and a cheap pair of flats to have for the day of.

Re: worth $200??

I think that is a bit much for flats. Also, the back heel looks hard and uncomfortable like it would dig in to you. I think you should keep searching, but if you LOVE those then go for it!!

If you LOVE them, get them.

I think there is nothing more important than wearing shoes that are comfortable and that you love.

Re: worth $200??

No way would I spend that much...I'm probably going to wear flats as well, but for less than half that price hopefully.

Re: worth $200??

You can probably find very similar ones for less. If you have been looking to no avail, then I would just get them. If you have the money to spare then whatever.

Re: worth $200??

Being that you're wearing them once and that's it, no def not. I wouldn't pay over 100 for flats. Plus, I'm assuming you're wearing them under your gown so noone's even going to see them.

Re: worth $200??

If you'd wear them again I'd say go for it if not don't spend $200 on shoes no one will probably see and splurge on something else.

I found this site that has cute ones for $30:

Hope that helps
