News from China Daily website: the long spurned flatties returned to the fashion this spring in the US. Brand designers discarded high-heels; many women are seeking after the fashionable flatties. New styles of flatties are greatly favoured on the market, resulting in the soaring of sales of women's shoes.

Wallstreet Daily reported a few days ago that the new flatties are quite different from the shoes that aim at comfort and fitness. They look even sexy. The vamp is short to expose a little bit of the toes. They are often decorated by bowknots, fancy buckles and silk laces. They have slim and streamlined appearance. The new flatties abandon most of the complicated design for comfort and fitness, therefore look very pretty. However, they may be as uncomfortable as high heels after a long time of wearing.

At present, lots of women in the United States scramble for the new flatties.
