To flatform or not to flatform?

Its getting hotter here in little old NZ. Summer doesn't feel too far off (except for the snow warnings I just heard for the South Island... they will soon be toasty too I'm sure).  This week I even took my pasty legs out of my jeans for a spin around the sunny block. 
  
Boy did that feel good! But whilst strutting my stuff I noticed a trend that I am undecided about. Flatforms. 
  
I have also noticed these cropping up in some of my fav blog reads, Lulu and your mum and WWW.
  
They are, as the inventive name suggests, a flat platform. Being smaller than a Kardashian, this should be a god sent to me; having all the hight with none of pain.


  
  
But every time I spy them all I see are orthopedic shoes!
   
Do you get my drift? I want so badly to love them. What do you think of this latest trend?

  2. I'm a flatform fan. The orthopaedic look is why I find them so attractive as prospective footwear :)

    I have Prada knock offs, sorry, inspired by Pradas from Romwe.com and I love the Won Hundred in the mustard. Mi Piaci have the patent black pair. I'd say go for it!
