Tomorrow I’m flying back to California for almost a month – so I spent some time earlier this week enjoying Boston Common with a big mug of green tea. I like walking and will do miles by myself (my walking commute in London was 2 miles each way!) and thus I have to wear comfortable flats.
I can walk miles and miles in these shoes. I had never heard of the brand AGL before but a sales associate at Nordstrom told me that it was what all the sales girls wore when standing all day. I swear, these are the most comfortable flats ever. The price stings a bit at $300 but I’ve spent way more on shoes that I never wear because they are so uncomfortable.
I’m going to buy another pair before we do our summer travels but in the meanwhile I would recommend AGL highly. Check out reviews here.

April 28, 2011 at 12:15 pmI am loving comfortable flats lately, usually I am more of a heels girl.. but there are some totally cute flats out there and not to mention comfortable 🙂

April 28, 2011 at 12:58 pmI'll have to check out those flats! Your comment to Mr. Feather cracked me up, by the way!

April 28, 2011 at 1:06 pmAhh Kat, you've given me a new obsession. I was lusting after some fuchsia Lanvin flats, but the AGLs look great and more importantly are comfortable!
I walked everywhere when we lived in London too. Whoa 2 miles a day – where were you walking to/from?

April 28, 2011 at 1:07 pmWonder if AGL makes heels that are just as comfortable? I'm a walker as well – if I could, I'd totally ditch my car and walk everywhere under the sun – but I have flat feet, and flats just aggravate my tendons after a while. Plus, I is short, and this short girl needs every bit of height that heels can give her!

April 28, 2011 at 1:59 pmI adore these shoes-good to hear they are so comfortable nothing worse than sacrificing heels for flats for comfort only to realize your flats are even more uncomfortable!

April 28, 2011 at 3:45 pmWOAH!! you said 2 miles?! i walk about 1.5 miles to work and 1.5 miles back (half of the 1.5 is walking to the metro station and the other half, from the metro to work) then you can count all the running i do when i get to the metro – now that i think about it, i walk just about the same as you did in London. I just wished I was a walking kinda gal…i run, i never walk *bad girl*
anyways, NEVER heard of AGL and i can't find any animal print ones, wahh, i'm going to cry!!
i want them so bad, i wear ugly flats or sneakers to work…i wear these AK's in brown http://bit.ly/lr9q4j
my husband will be harassed with emails about AGL from now one, let's see if he gets the picture 😉
have a safe trip!!!

April 28, 2011 at 3:59 pmLovely flats and comfort usually do not go hand in hand but I am excited to hear that they exist!! They look so stylish with animal print on them.
Thank you Katherine for the info on Fiberwig from Sephora. Save me some $$ 🙂

April 28, 2011 at 4:21 pmI think Repetto are really comfy too! I want to try a pair of Tory Burch flats but when i touched them at the store they seemed so stiff and horrible to walk in :/

April 28, 2011 at 4:50 pmI love flats exactly because they are comfortable…and yours are so pretty!

April 28, 2011 at 6:48 pmCute outfit!!! Have you tried Lanvin flats? I think those are super comfy…but make sure to go up a whole size…they run small!
Katherine
April 28, 2011 at 7:07 pmThank you everybody! Janine thank you so much for posting the link as well…I really hope you enjoy them!
@Ellys I like TB suede flats, they are really comfy…for me the leather ones, not so much.
@Jenny I have tried on Lanvin but they are still way $$ for me! I know so many people who love them though…

April 28, 2011 at 11:19 pmNow you have me interested in these AGL flats! I look back and question why I bought TB flats..they take forever to break in!
Eleanor
April 28, 2011 at 11:27 pmI am going to have to look into these flats.
I wear heels 24/7 because I find flats actually hurt my feet more!
Safe travels!

May 5, 2011 at 9:55 pmHi featherfactor! – Thanks for the great recommendation! Can you post whether or not AGLs run TTS and if the bottom scuffs easily? Thanks!!
Katherine
May 5, 2011 at 10:07 pm@olivia – I found they run TTS and the bottoms do scuff easily especially on the leather soled ones but I find that to be the case for all ballet flats and you can easily resole 🙂 The ones I'm wearing above are actually a rubber sole like the Tory Burch flats, etc.

May 20, 2011 at 11:38 pmI had the EXACT experience at Nordstroms… told them I live in HK. It's super hilly here and I walk a ton. She sold me on AGL flats–simple black with a patent toe. I will NEVER go back to anything else ever again!
