now they need to do a study about dresses
Liz:
Going down a flight of stairs is tough in anything taller than one inch, so in that case they are pretty impractical.

I'm sorry if you're one of those girls who like them, but there are much better looking flat shoes if you want comfort and much better looking heels if you want pretty.

I think flats are fine for pants, but definitely iffy with skirts or dresses. Then it depends on the style of the the shoes, skirt, and how good the girl's legs are. No two ways about it, heels make your legs look nicer. So good legs can pull off flats easier. And I think they're okay with casual, summery dresses/skirts. Sometimes in the summer I just wear a t-shirt, skirt and flip-flops. But flats with formal wear make me think of old ladies whose knees are too bad for heels, who own custom made shoe inserts, prescription sneakers, and moccasins.

Going down any stairs should not be that bad if you have decent shoes.
Flats are icky looking, and I have to agree with Manda. If you want flat-soled things, there are sneakers, trainers, athletic shoes, Burks, Docs, Chacos, and even Tevas.
Also, jesus, did no one else see Kinky Boots? Heels do change how you look: they elongate the leg, accentuate the calf (and make the leg look more curvy), and cause the pelvis to tilt. I believe the line is "Look to the heel. The sex is in the heel ... Stilettos require constant balance from the upper leg causing the muscles of the backside to tense and appear pert and ready for mating".
McTaggart:
Honestly, all those flat soled things you listed generally just look ugly. Flats are the best option for flat soled shoes.
BobJoeJim:
Wait, so "flats" are a specific type of shoe? Not just any shoe with a flat sole? I'm so confused. Remind me never to enter a fashion related thread again, I just don't belong here.
