I would try them on at home and if they truly feel better than any other shoe, then they would be worth it. </p> <p>However, sometimes comfort isn't apparent until you've walked in them a lot :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-ledge-2#post-1027016 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 22:42:28 +0000 sarac 1027016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I were a teacher I'd pay any amount of money for truly comfortable shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-ledge-2#post-1026904 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 21:29:34 +0000 immabeetoo 1026904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: you're crazy, back off that ledge! that is way too much $ for shoes you can't even try on! i think Born flats are really comfy and some styles are modern and cute. googled the tieks - they look just like my gap city flats?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-ledge-2#post-1026876 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 21:16:45 +0000 mrs. wagon 1026876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found the Maria Sharapova Cole Haan flats at Nordstrom Rack for like $40!! They are THE most comfy flats I have ever had. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-ledge-2#post-1026868 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 21:13:51 +0000 honeybear 1026868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Look at Clarks. They mostly do old lady shoes, but once and a while their 'younger' brand, Indigo, has some winners. They are totally comfy, especially their sandals. They are usually around $85-100, but I've scored some for $45. </p> <p>Also, J. Crew's ballet flats are quite comfortable. I bought the suede ones on sale for like $60. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-ledge-2#post-1026782 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 20:19:15 +0000 Ra 1026782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They don't have the color I really want in my size. Boo! I'm gonna join the wait list :). If they come back in stock, I'll report back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-ledge-2#post-1026778 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 20:17:16 +0000 LovelyPlum 1026778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you get them, report back!! I want a pair, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-ledge-2#post-1026770 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 20:11:05 +0000 Meridian 1026770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really tempted by them too, but have held back... you should go for it and report back! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-ledge-2#post-1026769 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 20:09:42 +0000 ninja 1026769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I had a job on my feet all day, they hurt so badly at the end of the day. I say splurge on a comfortable pair of shoes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-ledge-2#post-1026756 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 19:56:07 +0000 emg86 1026756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want a pair of Tieks too! My favorite go to flats when I'm going to walk everywhere are my Tory Burch Caroline flats...but those cost a fortune too. My other pair are from Cole Haan. I've heard great things about the Gap flats but they make my feet look awful, so I passed them up. I say go for it...if you'll wear them often and be on your feet all day, they're worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-ledge-2#post-1026755 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 19:55:56 +0000 Ra 1026755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-ledge-2#post-1026754 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 19:53:56 +0000 kjpugs 1026754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do it but look for a coupon!

That's what i do with zappos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-ledge-2#post-1026744 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 19:43:44 +0000 Ra 1026744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: This worries me! I don't think they're sold in stores so I can't try them on. I have a pair of Tory Burch shoes and I HATE them. Hate, hate, hate! They are the most uncomfortable shoes I own. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-ledge-2#post-1026741 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 19:41:44 +0000 MrsKoala 1026741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get some Gap Ballet Flats... really comfortable, last forever, super cute and WAY cheaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-ledge-2#post-1026740 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 19:41:33 +0000 Boopers 1026740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard of Tieks but I just googled them and honestly cannot understand why they would cost that much. I am a teacher and personally wouldn't spend that amount of $$$ on a pair of flats and I cannot offer you any alternatives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-ledge-2#post-1026739 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 19:41:28 +0000 Foodnerd81 1026739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh- but only if they really are comfortable to you! I have a few pairs of super cute cole hasn shoes that I convinced myself were comfortable, but they just don't fit my feet. So sad but just bc they are comfy for others doesn't mean they are for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-ledge-2#post-1026736 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 19:40:04 +0000 Ra 1026736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Bad influence! They have such fun colors. I want purple, and tangerine, and navy, and mustard, and fuchsia, and...</p> <p>@Happygal: Nope. I haven't seen them in stores. They have amazing reviews though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-ledge-2#post-1026734 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 19:39:13 +0000 Foodnerd81 1026734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never tried on tieks, but if they really are that comfortable, I say get them. I end up wearing the same shoes like every day, so even if they are $$$ its still better than buying three ok pairs that aren't as comfortable. Shoes are the one thing I won't skimp on- I have had too many "great deal" shoes that I never wore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-ledge-2#post-1026732 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 19:37:47 +0000 Happygal 1026732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had to google those, but they look nice! Have you tried them on before? I'm very curious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-ledge-2#post-1026726 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 19:35:29 +0000 swedishfish 1026726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: oh, comfortable shoes are worth their weight in gold as a teacher! I say go for it. I have several pairs of Cole Haan Nike shoes and they're so comfortable that they're worth the money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-ledge-2#post-1026722 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 19:30:01 +0000 Ra 1026722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really, really want to buy a pair of Tieks. I have been teetering on the ledge all day. </p> <p>I just got my first teaching job, none of my old flats fit (my feet grew during pregnancy), and I want some super comfy flats for work. They are ridiculously cute, too!</p> <p>$165 is a lot of money though!</p> <p>Please recommend an equally adorable and comfortable flat for less money. </p> <p>Otherwise, I'm gonna jump! </p>
