i have the same steve madden red ballet flats and am similarly obsessed!!! it turns out red is the only good accent color, any other "fun" colored shoe has always made me feel like a funky art teacher or season 1 hannah horvath

Agree! Also red shoes have to be kind of delicate or else youre at risk of looking like a clown

Age of Innocence is such elite summer reading but that cover is wild 😭

This was such a joy to read!!! Are the red shoes comfortable enough to walk long distances?

they are comfy within 1-2 miles of leisurely walking! but i began blistering recently so there may be a breaking in period?
