YOSI SAMRA
{please visit yosi samra here}
Designer Yosi Samra knows a thing or two about shoes, after all his family has been in the business for over 30 years and he himself joined the business at the tender age of 20. While most of us at that age were deciding what to wear to school, Yosi was making plans to ensure that one day it would be a pair of his shoes. When the opportunity finally came to expand the family business he offered up his eponymous collection and well the rest is history. The fold up flats are the headliners, at $50 you can afford to get a pair in most every color and color is very important to Samra. Let’s talk comfort shall we? These flats were made with that in mind, they are made to slip in your bag undetected and when the opportunity arises to stealthily slip out of those $600 stiletto’s that are KILLING you, you will have the Yosi Samra ballet flat to slip into and still be stylish as all get out–stiletto’s meet your new frenemy.
Yosi Samra is happily going to get you started on your fold up ballet flat collection. The winner will win not one but 2 pairs of leather ballet flats in the color of their choice. You just need to answer the following question by Monday, February 1, 2010:
What color flats would you want if you won and where would be the first place you wore them to?
Please check the winners box by Wednesday, February 3, 2010 to see if you won.
Gray and Purple.
Just like my sister and I
Tailored yet with that sparkle in the “eye”
to show one’s fun side.
I have very wide feet (have a hard time finding a good fit)
so if I’m picked I would
share with my sister. She’s fighting cancer and needs a couple
of fun shoes but comfortable shoes
For when one is going through chemo one’s skin and everything
becomes very very sensitive.
Definitely those hot silver flats! I’m a TA at a large university and have to walk all over the place every day. I love my heels but my feet don’t love them back. Those silver flats would keep me stylish, in charge, and totally comfortable!
Those silver ones are mighty purty! I would wear them to drop my kiddos off to school in style.. ;-)
The rose gold and the navy. (Can’t find the navy in the store though!)
I’d wear them to school. I go to school almost everyday and my school’s huuugee. I get tired of wearing sneakers everyday.
Well I will try again. I wrote an entry and it never showed up!
How did you find this awesome site? Love these foldup flats! You are right …it would be great to have a closet full, and I can think of a few more colors also!
I would choose the Midnight blue satin, the grey suede, and the black leather..I couldnt narrow it down to two!…..If I won I would definitely ask them to be shipped immediately so I could wear them to a VIP screening I am going to on Feb 18th at a Japanese Museum here in the south. They are hosting a 3 hour Japanese American comedy, and also having a Ramen chef for a light supper snack. these flats in the black or midnight colors would be perfect for the evening…( the grey are more casual for day).
Something flashy like the silver. I am a wedding planner, so on wedding days I am usually dressed in all black but I like to have a splash of color with my shoes- which always must be comfy flats!
I would like the purple ones, and the first place I would wear them is to a valentine chick flick with all my girl friends!!!! Ah…..I love this month!!!
Purple and Grey.
I want to slip them on to wear to work any and every day!
Comfortable because they are padded flats.
Wearable year round because they are suede.
Purple and Grey because I have a “winter” complexion, so I wear a lot of cool colors. Both shoe colors would match my wardrobe of purples, blues, greens and greys.
Those black leather ones are calling my name and will probably chase me in my dreams shouting “wear me!”
Just because here in finland we have this nice season called winter (which cover pretty much half of the year) and that’s why it’s freeeeeeeezing outside, I’d wear them here inside to warm my toes and keep my feet comfy!
Rose gold! Perfect under my black bamboo palazzo pants for an Artist’s Date of a walk around my town, the chance to pop into the new independent café that just opened to sketch, journal and people-watch, and finally home for a glass of something sparkling to celebrate how superb it is to be creatively inspired!
The bronze pair are B-A-U-tiful! I always wanted to be a ballerina but I was told I was not graceful enough. Walking around in these stunning flats at the next family get together, I’m sure I could change a few minds :]
If I wan the Yosi Samra flats I would love to have the silver pair. They are stylish yet classic. I would wear them to the grocery store with jeans and feel like a 47 year old princess!
i looove the navy ones and the grey suede ones-such classic colors and textures. my number one spot to wear them would be driving. i hate driving in heels -the old angle, the tendency for the heel to get stuck), with these i could easily just keep a pair in my purse or even in the car and slip them on for comfy, stylish, and safe driving!
Purple and the metallic silver. They look so comfy and they could be worn dressed up or down.
The gold leather flats! They would replace my gold sandals that I only get to wear in the summer, being my go-to shoe on colder days to liven up my winter wardrobe. I think I’d debut them on a cloudy day to make me smile as I run my errands.
If I were to pick two…I would pick the black and the bronze. If I won the first place I would wear them would be dancing around my living room as soon as they came in the mail…I’ve had my eye on the Red Patent-Casey’s though since I saw them in my last issue of Real Simple.
The grey or black suede! The first place I would wear them would be to work. I manage a group home for adults with disabilities, so I have to appear professional while still wearing clothing I can move in. These flats would be perfect as they look classy and yet would save your feet from the wear of the day. Love them!
i’d choose black leather and grey suede. they’d be my take along shoes for the office. here in the pacific northwest, it’s rainy this time of the year, so i go almost everywhere in my wellies…but, i always take along shoes that i slip my feet into once i get to work. and, when the sun finally begins to shine again, these can be my walk in the park, skip along the riverbank shoes….
until then, i guess i’ll be wearing them in my dreams *
Black Suede and Purple Suede…. so they can go with everything I own!
Where would I wear them…. oh…. *everywhere*. But I’d save my inaugural wearing for a date night down in Georgetown (DC).
any colo…r but love, love, love, the silver. i would wear them as soon as possible…because if i am wearing these lovely flats it means it is warm enough or i have occassion enough to kick off my heavy snow boots. i would wear them on date night. my boyfriend lives 4 hours away while he completes his ph.d. and they would make a date night perfect.
I want a pair of flats in mustard yellow! The first place I would wear them is to my monthly girlfriends Saturday morning brunch. It’s always a good affair for showing off new accessories!
Black and Silver! I’m due with my first baby next month – I’d love to wear the silver flats on my first family outing out of the house. These shoes would add a perfect amount of sparkle to anything I might wear!
Bronze and black! And this sounds not-very-exciting, but I’d wear them to work (and encourage a happy hour afterwards with my co-workers, since I’d be ready to walk downtown!) — but my friends from grad school & I have been exchanging work-fashion pics by email (across the state & nation :D), and our next exchange is supposed to be shoe pics! I’d *love* to be able to share pics of these cuties!
Red! For my love of Yosi Samra for carrying size 11. The first place I would wear them? The first place I went after receiving them…grocery store, here I come!
Navy blue and I would wear them everywhere. Maybe my husband would take me on a date!?
I would take the grey ones and I would wear them to work. I teach music and am on my feet a lot, and they look so comfortable!
These are my dream shoes . . . as to colors, I would love the blue ones listed on the giveaway (I couldn’t find them on the website) as well as the silver leather ones. The first place I would wear them is “everywhere”! I don’t think I would take them off for at least a week :) These are beautiful works of craftmanship. I am so glad I found this resource. Thanks!
I love the gold ones and the gray ones!
I just felt in love with those grey suede ones!
I’d wear them all the time because they must be very practical and comfortable. I’m sure they would be great with my pajama too!!!
Rose Gold. My favorite color is pink and I’ve never found a pick pair of shoes that I would buy, but these are great and I think you could wear them like a neutral. Maybe it’s boring, but I’d probably wear them out to the gracery. Shopping for groceries is a chore since I only do it twice a month, but I like to look cute when I do.
Bright Yellow and Hot Pink…..Sunshine and Jelly Beans…great shoes.
rose gold and black leather….my dogs are killin me after a long day’s of work. Time to give my heels a rest, perfect for audit season!
[...] Hope for Haiti messages all last week, there will be only one new winner announced for the coveted Yosi Samra flats (plural!). For those of you not paying attention we had a FINALE this Sunday, we reserve the [...]
Easy! I would would of course be wearing silver! Man that sparkle is perfect. I would prance them in front of my closest group of uber-hip girlfriends on our weekly supper club outings. Of course the whole time they would be whispering, and saying things like “Oh those silver shoes are to die for…” Why couldn’t it have been me that wore those tonight…” you get the drift.
I’d love the brown suede and I’d first wear them to work…I work in a nursery and getting on and playing with the kids requires comfortable flexible shoes.
I’d pick rose gold leather and prance around in them on sidewalks, pretending to be like a ballerina even those I do not possess the flexibility or the stamina.
love the silver ones for work
LOVE the grey suede! My business branding is based around that same shade of grey and as a photographer, my biz is built around me so I try to wear my brand colors as often as possible. I would wear these to a client meeting in a heartbeat.
I would pick the purple suede because they are so fun and bright that I wouldn’t have to worry about matching them to my clothes, I would just let them speak for themselves! I would keep them in my school bag and wear them every day I decide it’s a great idea to wear heels to class. It never turns out to be as comfortable as I had hoped and the uneven brick sidewalks are dangerous to my ankles and my lovely heels!
I have a deep obsession with ballet flats. Deep. I am on a quest to find the perfect pair and these literally made me gasp they look so perfect. If they feel anywhere near as good as they look – I am sold.
Please, please, please let it be me!
The gray suede have my name written all over them. And i would wear them everywhere. That, my friend, is no exaggeration.
