It's Not Just You—Flats Are Everywhere RN, and I Want to Order These 32 Pairs
I swear I can't scroll on Instagram, walk around New York City, or go on my TikTok For You page without seeing a parade of flat shoes. Ballet flats, clogs, Mary Janes, sneakers… You name it—fashion people are embracing them all. From the fashion set's infatuation with Miu Miu and Chanel ballet flats to everyone completely losing it over the celeb-favorite Adidas Sambas, it's safe to say that it's going to be a flat-shoe fall. I decided to roll up my sleeves and get to digging at some of my favorite retailers to find the best of the best when it comes to flat shoes on the market. I wanted to find loafers to pair with jeans, ballet flats for the office, sneakers for the weekend, and clogs to wear everywhere in between. I rounded up 32 pairs that are so good I wouldn't be surprised if they sold out by November.
Keep scrolling to take a look at which 32 pairs made the cut.
