Ballerina flats are very hot for fall; they make a nice alternative to all the sky-high chunky heels on those days when you just can't deal with heels. On the left are Manolo Blahnick's ivory satin ballet flats with black lace overlay. They feature a flat, stacked heel and retail for $515 at
Bergdorf Goodman.
If you love the look but lovely shoes from Italy just aren't in the budget this fall, you can always go to
Forever21.com
and pick up the cheap version for under $20. Cheap shoes are hard on your feet, so here's our favorite trick for making cheap, throwaway shoes wearable. Buy the shoes a half size too big, then place a good, orthotic footbed with a nice arch support inside. Dr. Scholl's makes great footbeds and they're available at Target and your local drugstore.
