As much as I am a believer in the wardrobe ideologies of "less is more" and "quality over quantity" there are exceptions. One of these exceptions is in regard to flat shoes. When you live in a walking city like San Francisco, your shoes tend to get worn down very quickly, regardless of quality. Grimy streets, unpredictable weather, and long walks can shorten the lifespan of shoes, especially flats. This is why after so many have been ruined by city spills or worn down after mere months, I have sworn off pricey flats in favor of cheaper pairs that can be easily replaced.
A perfect example of a cheap but chic flat are these BDG Snake Skin Skimmers for just $28 with 2.5% Cash Back at Urban Outfitters. For under $30, the are perfect for wearing everyday, can be worn in and replaced ($28 is not much to lose and has a low-cost-per-wear) but don't skimp on style either. The faux snakeskin adds a little edge to the lady-like t-strap style and can be worn with Fall's trousers, paired with denim, or made cozy with tights. I picked up the black pair myself and cannot wait to break them in.

I'm one of those women who will not spend a lot of money on flats. They get beat up so quickly!
Agreed, when you live in a walking city flats go so quickly. Everyone could stand to stock up on good, affordable, and fashionable flats!
Flats should be outlawed. Period. Seriously, I think they should do away with flats. I've never seen them flatter anyone wearing them. Girls, go through your closet and throw them all away.
