I’ve recently become a shoe fanatic – it’s really strange since I was never really into shoes, only purses – but that’s since changed and basically my closet is about to bust at the seams with all the shoes that are currently in there, we wont even talk about boots… The one pair I haven’t added to the collection are laced up flats – they almost look like point shoes a ballerina would wear – without the discomfort! I’ve rounded up my favorite inspiration photos and also found some I wouldn’t mind adding to my collection!
I was able to find the exact pair of faux snakeskin flats on Asos. I really like to keep price in mind when buying trendier pieces – so all of these have great price points!
These might not be ballet flats, but I did just add these gorgeous Ann Taylor mule/wedges to my closet and I can tell you they are like butter!!! Slip them on and it doesn’t feel like you are wearing shoes! You also can’t beat the price I paid last week of $24…they went up slightly to $34 but still an amazing deal!
To me, they are the perfect transition shoe – cool enough for the end of summer, but warm enough to keep you into Fall.
How do you feel about these laced up flats – would you wear them?

THe lace up adds such a fun detail to flats, I see why you like them :)! I need to get a black pair, just for fun!
I'm also a shoe fanatic which is bad b/c 90% of the time I'm wearing flip flops or tennies (staying comfy with the kids).
I love the wedges you just bought! I'm not sure about the lace up flats yet, but I think i'd definitely be tempted to snag a pair if they were a good deal. 🙂
I want a black pair now too! I have not tried them yet but I love lace up espadrilles so I know I'll love them. Your AT wedges are soooo cute! Nothing beats a good slip on wedge!!! Happy Wednesday gorgeous!!

Obsessing over those flats! I want that third pair but $600… yeah. Not happening. So many cute other options though! Definitely on the hunt!

Yes, girl. Yes!!! Those are the kind of flats that make you feel like you can still be trendy and comfy. I need some too!
Yep, I have caught myself browsing for a pair in that exact style. I just haven't found a pair that have spoken to me yet. Love these style roundups. Great inspiration.

i almost bought some the other day, and now i'm kicking myself for not picking up a pair. that's what online shopping is for! 😉
I have been on the hunt for a great pair of lace up flats! I love the M Gemi one but they’re still sold out 🙁
I have been obsessing over lace-up flats lately! The Jeffrey Campbell ones are stunning but I also love the ones from Asos and Nordstrom, so much more affordable too!

I looooooove that third pair! I haven't seen lace up flats before but they definitely dress up the regular flat.
You and Pamela must have been on the same shoe-wave length today! haha
I bought the pair that I talked about it a little while ago and ended up returning them just because those tie things always slip when I walk. I think this is a pretty trend and like that there are a lot more affordable options. Always give it time and someone will come out with a great dupe 🙂
I'm digging those snakeskin ones. My new job has me walking a lot across the campus and most of my traditional heels are out- not comfy enough. I'm in need of some dressy flats and stylish wedges.
The 3rd pair is cute! For some reason I don't like the way a pointed toe looks on me at all. I opt for a rounder toe usually. xo
I have been loving this trend and have seen them everywhere! I really want a pair in Leopard Print!

Do you follow Carrie Bradshaw Lied? She is the best and she post a Snap the other day where she DIYed some flats like this – they were so cute!! Keep your eye on her blog for them!
ah i love these! although i think my legs aren't skinny enough to pull them off (and they are short compared to torso) BUT i still want them. bc i think they look cute with pants or shorts. true story. good post! gosh i'm rocking flats today bc i had heels on from 8am-11pm yesterday. flats are a lifesaver!

Cute! I think that's a fun way to play up flats and I'm a flats girl when the weather gets cooler. Will definitely be on the lookout for Fall!
I totally love the lace up flats. My co-worker has them and she said they drive her crazy because they always untie. But they are so cute. I wouldn't mind a pair or two.
They're super cute! Although I still don't think they look particularly comfortable… Ever notice how you have to really break in flats?! Like, they rub off all your skin and then after a solid 2 months of pain they're the best things ever?! That said, I wear them all the time 😉
I have been dying over these lace up flats! They are so cute except pointed toe looks horrible on my foot for some reason when it comes to flats! I saw an open toe version and I might have to give those a try!

I was looking at these flats when I was at Nordstrom on Monday and they're so cute. I don't like to wear heels that much so this would be a nice alternative. I would definitely have to try them on though!! 🙂 Thanks for sharing lady and I hope that you have a great day!!! 🙂
I LOVE the look of lace up flats. Chic but classic in a way! I feel like I couldn't pull them off though 🙁
The ballerina in me wants these! All of them!
I like how they look but I also like the ease of on and off, so I probably wouldn't wear them. I'm content to admire them on others!
laced up flats?! I didn't even know this was a thing! I might be too lazy for these though so I'll just have to admire them on other people.

No. Just, no. NO BIANA! DON'T MAKE ME COME OVER THERE!!!!!! lol
I do like the mule wedges you got a LOT!
With my injury this summer (fractured heel), I think I'll be wearing flats for a whiiiiiile! Thanks for introducing me to the lace ups!
TheHortonFamily
well I never knew I wanted laced up flats until now but I totally do! love them and all the inspiration outfits you pulled together!
I first saw Heidi from Wishes and Reality wearing these and I seriously NEED a pair. I've been all about my nudes lately, so I'm not sure if I want to go nude or black. Maybe both. (;
Lace up flats are everywhere! They are not my thing, but I think they look good on others!

Oooooh, I'm loving the laced up flats! So fun! As long as we are in AZ, these are the kind of shoes I need to be buying. I hear it doesn't even cool down enough to wear boots, CRAZY!
I LOVE this look though Im not sure how it will actually look on my size 5 feet.
I looove this look! I really want a black pair and think I'm going to get the Topshop ones – you can never beat their prices for shoes!
I want a pair so badly! I love them all!

You know I'm loving this trend! I actually popped in H&M last night to see if they had a version yet (trying to save $$$). No dice, but I bet they'll have them soon.

I've been thinking of buying a pair, but I'm trying to dream up ways to style them in a classy way.

Loving those laced flats! Sooo gorgeous.
I pre-ordered the Michael Kors kallie flat in May and got them in July. They are everything. I haven't worn them yet, but with the cooler temps we're having the next couple of days it may be time!
I keep seeing these everywhere! I need to go to a store and check them out in person.. I think they are so cute on other people!

Welcome to the shoe lovers club! Loving these picks, especially the 2nd pair <3
i have been on the fence about lace up flats but i love the photos of the ones you have posted! xo jillian – cornflake dreams
I've been loving this trend, too for the same reason that they look like ballerina shoes – I would love to find a great neutral color pair!
I"m also OBSESSED with this trend! Love them and they will transition well into fall. Great post!

I'm loving this trend right now! Lace up flats are everywhere and they look great on! I just wonder how comfortable they actually are. I have to get my hands on a pair to try and you posted so many fun options!
I love those wedges! And what a steal!
I've been seeing them alot too–I think I need some 🙂
Lace ups are actual perfection! I was a little bit sad that I wouldn't be able to wear my lace up sandals in fall, but these flats are a great alternative! Especially the snake print!

These are pretty picks! And I haven't seen anyone wearing this style at least not in this area so it would be an original outfit!
I am a total shoe fanatic also and I have been loving the lace-up flats! I feel like such a ballerina wearing them and I love it! Love your picks! XO -Kim

I love the laced up flats on other people but I haven't given them a shot myself yet. I feel like they would make my feet look weird/big. Let me know if you try them out!

I was definitely more into bags than shoes up until last year. The ASOS pair look like a version of my gladiator sandals. I haven't tried lace up flats yet though but if they're more comfortable than ballet flats, I'm game.
girl meets world
I like the nude ones but mostly likely wouldn't wear them, I like ease of use. Just don't go the gladiator route or i might have to mock you! Just kidding.
I'm loving this trend as well! I think I'll have to look into a pair for fall!

Super cute! I'm a bit shoe snob so most of the shoes I buy are not "trendy" but shoes that are classic and will last me a long time. These remind me of the gladiators a bit.
I guess we have something in common I'm shoe obsessed, shoes make me happy, haha :-D, love these great for the days you want to look fabulous but don't wanna deal with the high heels.

I would totally wear those. I actually had a pair similar when I was a teenager. Its funny to see styles come back again.
Oooo love the ballerina look these have! I used to dance and I'm still a little obsessed with all things ballet! LOVE those Ann Taylor wedges too, so pretty!
Love those black lace up shoes! So gorgeous. I have major tan lines from my sandals though, so I wonder if these would do that to me! Haha.
These are so cute!! I would definitely love a pair of these for the fall.
Whoa I love these! I have had pointy-toe flats on my list for a while, but the ballerina straps are a very cool touch!
I love how the lace up flats look on other people but haven't found a pair that works for me yet! It's still early though!
I am loving this trend lately too! I def want to pick up a pair for the early fall.
This is my favorite shoe trend ever!
Wishes & Reality
With high heels I would love them much more!

I have number two!!! Love, love the lace up trend!
I feel I would look so foolish wearing laced up flats. I think they're for people with longer legs, and I'm so short, I think I'd run out of landscape, but they are really nice looking shoes.

I love the look of these, but I doubt that I would buy laced up flats. I think that they look the best on girls with really long legs 😉

I went through a shoe lover phase two years ago and now I'm back to loving bags again haha. I love the lace up flats but I don't think I could pull them off at all.
I've been loving the lace up flats too! A couple of months ago I got a pair of black Jessica Simpson flats at DSW for super cheap in the clearance section! I think I'll forever be lusting over a pair of the aquazzura flats.
