Terra Plana ‘Grass’: Hot or Not?
Spring is around the corner and my old flats are falling apart. (They’ve lasted a good three or four years… it was due!) I’d rather own a small and carefully-chosen selection of shoes than lots of pairs I don’t wear much, so I’m thinking way too much about this decision — and add to it that the socially-friendly world of non-athletic shoes is, to put it nicely, “lacking.”
I’ve had my eye on this flat, the Terra Plana Grass, since last season. (When Zappos carried it — now they’re only available through the TP site, where shipping to and from isn’t free!) I really wish I could try it on first, and see its true shade of “red,” but I’m about to order anyway… unless you have any better ideas for me!
My criteria: Flat or almost-flat; classy enough for work; neutral enough to go with most things yet not too boring; ethically made; quality that will last a while.
What do you say? Hot or not? And if not, any good alternatives?
UPDATE: Check out the verdict several weeks later!

I’m a little late on this comment, but I’m a big fan of flats, and I’m always on the lookout for cute ones. I’d have to see these on, though, because of that part in the back- it looks a little odd free-standing. Also the color seems more like pink. Let me know if it works out!

So, do these shoes create “Stinky Flats Syndrome” just like the cheap payless flats? Or are they somehow resistant to sweaty, smelly feet?
