I have never worn heels but I’m told that after hours of walking in them, your feet hurt a whole lot. Dawn Dickson was in that exact position in February of 2011 while attending an event in South Beach. After hours of standing, her feet were on fire and when she couldn’t find an affordable pair of flats to purchase, she’d had enough. Dawn set out to create a fashionable, durable and must-have rollable flat that is chic and durable enough for everyday use — that was the birth of Flat Out of Heels.

Black owned, through and through. 
The story of Flat Out of Heels illustrates the power of Black women.
