Chic is the name of the game when it comes to the Nordstrom shoe section. While I often go in-person to check out all of the latest arrivals at Nordstrom's jaw-dropping New York flagship store, there's just something special about online shopping from the comfort of my couch after a long day. Everyone deserves a sweet little treat, and for me, that comes in the form of cool girl–approved mesh ballet flats.

If you haven't taken a peek at Nordstrom's unmatched shoe section this summer, let this be your sign. From Steve Madden to Jeffrey Campbell, there are dozens of our favorite designers with both elegant and modern offerings for you to peruse. Whether you're in the mood for minimalist sandals or Y2K-inspired kitten mules, these 34 Nordstrom shoes just might have you pulling out your credit card faster than you think.
