I Never Wear Heels—28 Pretty Flats I Recommend If You're Just Like Me
The impact of a great pair of heels on an outfit is undeniable, yet I find myself opting out from wearing the style more and more often these days. In place of heels, I’ve been all about cool flats. If you’re like me, you’ve decided to lean into more comfortable styles because fashion does not have to be painful. As a fashion editor, I'm always on a mission to hunt down a wide array of gorgeous flat shoe styles to add to my wardrobe, so I decided to clue you in on some of my favorite recent finds.
I’ve taken to the internet and utilized my journalistic sleuthing skills to hunt down some seriously pretty flat shoes worth shopping for. Are you in need of a new pair of chic ballet flats, or perhaps some cute mesh Mary Janes? Ahead shop a wide array of flats and other flatter shoe styles worth adding to your daily shoe lineup.
This style has been trending with fashion people over the last couple of years.
Whoever said the perfect, simple black flats don't exist has never seen these.
Fashion people everywhere are loving this toe-pierced style from Tory Burch.
I'm personally adding these to my personal shopping list immediately.

I don't know about you, but I've always wanted a pair of Tabi ballet flats.
