Picara patent leather ballet flat by Steve Madden, $99.95, available at www.stevemadden.com.
Last year, a certain pair of colorful patent-leather ballet flats emerged from Paris and sent celebrities and civilians alike scurrying to stores—at last, a chic reprieve from fashion's ever-higher heels. The trend shows no signs of slowing for spring, but if you're not ready to spend half a month's rent on the designer skimmers Kate and Sienna favor, we recommend these Picara flats from—wait for it—Steve Madden. With their cheery hues, bright patent finish, and deliciously comfy, flexible shape, the covetable chaussures are no pale imitation.
