I enjoy a dash of leopard- well I actually allow myself to ONLY enjoy a dash of leopard. Otherwise I think I'd go full throttle and that would be too Peg Bundy on me. Given my restrictions, season after season I'm all for a leopard flat (and there was those few years in college where I annually purchased big fuzzy leopard slippers, always a hit during 3am fire drills.)
Right now I'm choosing between 2 pairs- both use contrast to mute the 'roarrrr' vibe, which ones should I get?
NU DAY, Aerosoles
A lot of brands are doing leopard flats as moccassins, loafers and smoking slippers, balancing out the racy vibe often associated with the print by setting a preppy tone. I like this particular shape because it's somewhere between a moc and loafer. That being said due to the fact that they are Aerosoles they have that whole orthopedic sole look going on. That being said- ORTHOPEDIC SOLE! I'll walk the city!
KORTSHPL, Steve Madden
These are more classic of a leopard flat but I enjoy that the bow sweetens things up. My hesitation here is that the sides cut pretty low and I've found that more comfortable flats really embrace your whole foot. I am, after all, a girl on the go.
So imagine, it's about three weeks from now and we're well out of this muggy-confusing-I'm sweating and it's raining-weather. I'm wearing a thin knit black sweater, skinny jeans and... one of these pairs of shoes. Which look better?
What do you think? Is that sole too horrible on the first pair? Is the 2nd pair worth the pain? Is it only a matter of time before I turn into Scary Spice?
Shush. Help me out!
Very Important Update: tried on the loafer style, much to Enrica, Cara, Jenna and DWJ's help- way too wide for my dainty feet. Darnsicles... the search continues!

Although I think the bow version is the cutest, I am an owner of Aerosoles and you can definitely walk the city in those. Get ones you can walk all day in!
definitely the aerosoles. if you are going to do leopard i think it is a MUST to keep it as sophisticated and chic as possible. how amazing would those loafers be with jeans a blazer and beautiful scarf this fall.
