Walk This Way

Candace Ang Flats

You said you’d be bold! brave! daring! You said you’d learn Farsi!

And that was yesterday.

Still, if you agree that any change is better than none, Candace Ang’s new flats will point your feet in the right direction.

As it happens, the cameo-carving designer is turning over her own new leaf this year — by way of ballerina styles in everything from battered leather to prim French lace.

Each pair bears a set of interchangeable toe charms to swap out whenever the mood strikes (sold separately). Wax triumphant in the county fair-worthy Prizewinner. Or pad around in the Paddington, a nostalgic, button-quilted ribbon clip.

By the time you’re finally ready to make a change, the Revolutionary’s striped pattern and oversize clothespin detail will valiantly lead the way.

And with the plans you’re making, you’ll need the sure footing.
