I've heard about French Sole before, the arbiter of supposedly comfy ballerina flats. Here is what www.nymag.com has to say about the brand:
"A sanctuary for fed-up cosmopolitan women who’ve walked their last stiletto steps, French Sole is an oasis of ballet flats. The walls are jam-packed from floor to ceiling with identical pink shoeboxes. (Indeed, the surreal tiny space can trigger something akin to a psychic bunion.) Inside those boxes are more than two dozen variations of one kind of footwear. Some flats are a bit tacky (leopard prints in questionable colors, gaudy floral patterns); others are more stylish (timeless solids, trendy metallics). But with prices inching up as high as $350, your extravagant new pair of ballet flats just might usurp your old slingbacks in the end. — Melissa Noble"
I would always pass by their shop every time I walk up or down Lexington Avenue, until one day, lured by a "Sample Sale" sign, I went in and instantly spotted these gorgeous metallic flats.

Can you guess what it says? |
When I tried them on, it was heaven! Yes, they felt soooo good on my feet, and after wearing them nearly everyday on my recent vacation (so much that you can already see the imprint of my big toes on the inner sole), I have confirmed that they are indeed the comfiest pair that I own.
According to the salesgirl who sold me this pair, certain samples don't even make it to the actual production run. So this could possibly be the only pair in the world!
And what made me ultimately fall head over heels for this pair? The clever design, that I wouldn't even have noticed, if not for Jason, Beam's boyfriend, who spotted it and told me how cute it was.
One word: "LOVE"
