Some of the other girls have gotten similar shoes recently (CC and Dot maybe?), and I think they can be really cute. But I'd say try them on first if you can - shoes like that have the potential to be very frumpy looking when you're actually wearing them, especially if they have too much coverage on the foot. So I say get them if you still like them on your actual foot.

Who makes them? I think they are super-cute (love the orange!) but I have ballet shoes with those types of elastics on top and they can kinda hurt if I'm walking with them on all day.

Me too, I have flats with elastic lacing and they itch soooooooooooooooo badly! (even with socks on)

I would get them from Nordies, wear them once and if the elastics don't rub against your foot, I would keep them. If they do rub, I'd return them with the receipt and explain to them that they're uncomfortable and all that. I've done this with a couple of pairs and they've been awesome about it. In my experience KC Reaction shoes are amazing and supremely comfy, so I hope for the best!!!

Sorry, I have to agree with this too. But that's just my style, which doesn't necessarily mean anything for how they'd look on you.
I think the shoes are adorable, Claudia. I almost want them for myself. I think they would dress down trousers nicely and would also look good with jeans and a track jacket for weekend wear. Funky, yet still feminine. Get 'em!
