Kaitlyn Pan Studded Strappy Ballerina Leather Flats

UPDATE: So far I'm keeping the matte nude ones but had a small problem with the black ones. One of the straps of the left shoe is longer than the other one, making it shift to the side and be loose. They will be doing an exchange for me. Still both beautiful and fit very nicely! Love the black one!!!UPDATE: I went up 1/2 a size and they fit fine but there are a few details that has me in doubt. (Poudre Matte) These are not as stiff as the shiny ones. The bottom were a bit messed up. There are not a pink color base, there are a nude brown base, not as beige as the other ones these are more dull like Taupe I think. There are still pretty but I'm just wondering if they will last long..-(Nude Patent) Almost perfect! Except they're a bit too small, I don't know if it's just me but I'll be ordering 1/2 a size up to be more comfortable. The nude is not a pink nude, it's more of a tan/beige nude. It keeps its shape which that's really nice and they look so lovely! They come with a few extra studs incase they may fall out. They are a bit stiff like hard but I don't mind cause that way they won't crease as much as the ones from Nordstrom, the Halogen studded flats that are on one of the photos. The packaging is very nice and each one has its dust bag. I ordered them on May 15 and got here on June 6, so be patient and they came at the date it was supposed to get here. They're shiny and cute and look great. Hopefully they will be comfortable to walk on after a few hours but I'll add cushions just in case.

I've been obsessed with the Valentino rockstud collection for as long as I can remember. I have the high heel, the kitten heel, and the flip flop...but did not feel like shelling out close to $1000 for the flat, as much as I've admired them. If you look at the Kaitlyn Pan flat next to the other three Valentinos I have, you cannot tell the difference unless you look at the label. They are absolutely gorgeous! It was love at first sight!!! I ordered them 1/2 size bigger for comfort since reviews said they were extremely uncomfortable and they fit like a charm. Wore them for about 6-7 hours the other day with no discomfort. I cannot wait to get more in different colors...I wish my size was in stock in the colors I want. I highly recommend this shoe to anyone who loves the look of the Valentino rockstud but does not want to pay $$$$, but also does not want to settle for a cheap non-leather imitation that falls apart and hurts your feet. Wish I would have discovered Kaitlyn Pan sooner!

These shoes are beautiful! They are a perfect knockoff of the Valentino Rockstud flats which I had wanted forever but didn't quite have the wallet for. They're comfortable however a little bit tight in my toes. Normally I wear a 6.5-7 (more often 7 though) and I could have gone with a 7.5 probably. I'm keeping them because I figure they'll stretch a little since they're real leather lining though. They're so gorgeous! I've already gotten tons of compliments and only worn them one day!

Finally, received the pair after patiently waiting. Runs small, so I suggest you break them in before or better yet order half a size up.So went to the mall with these pair however after just about 3 hours of walking on a flat smooth surface the sole opened up. Not a pleasant surprise after barely wearing it. Altho, the shoes would have been a homerun for the best dupe of the real ones. This is my fourth pair from KP but guess I wasn't lucky this time.**UPDATE**Spoke with one of their team members and they are helping in fixing this. Sorted out the issue immediately, swift response and action. Great customer service!

I am a solid 7 in most shoes. 7.5 is usually too big. I originally ordered these in a 7 nude patent and they were a bit too snug. I then ordered 7.5 pink matte and they fit perfectly and are actually very comfortable. The two colors are pretty close, the nude being more tan of course (in first pic, nude is on right). These look like real rock studs!!

I purchased the nude as well as the black pair of these gorgeous shoes. And they really are gorgeous. I had a pair of Rockstud flats but I mangled the toe area and didn’t want to spend several hundred dollars again when I knew I’d do the same thing due to the long pointy toe area. So... after reading many reviews I purchased these in a size 9. I’m normally an 8. They fit perfectly. For those of you who are having issues with the piece of plastic coating on the sole, I used pointed tweezers and worked a bit up right where the sole and heel meet. It did take some finagling so just be patient. Some of my friends thought I purchased new Rockstuds and were amazed when I told them where I got them. Needless to say there’s a lot of these shoes walking around in my group of friends now!

After my g/f wore these twice, one stud has already fallen off. To make matters worse, these shoes did not come with additional studs like others have stated. Twice I contacted Kaitlyn Pan about this problem. And twice they ignored my messages. They look really nice and others have been satisfied. Just keep in mind you're playing russian roulette when purchasing these. Because if you run into a problem, the vendor is not going to return your messages. And if you only have a 30 day window to return these. Luckily I was able to return these before then.

These shoes are beautiful! I am usually a size 9-9.5 depending on brand and type of shoe. I ordered these in a 9.5 after reading reviews to size half a size up and they fit perfectly. I have not worn them out yet but walking around the house they are extremely comfortable. I had also ordered the Kaitlyn pan 4 inch heel version of this shoe and the 9.5 was too big so I ended up getting the 9 in those. I would highly recommend these if you are looking for an affordable version of the rockstuds which was my goal.
