A comfortable flat is a closet staple. Flat styles range from classic ballet flats to versatile loafers to trendy slingbacks. The timeless footwear adds a touch of professionalism to office days and makes the perfect plus one for dressy nights. Some include pointe, square and rounded shapes to perfectly complement a pant leg. Simply pair it with tights during winter temps or go for no-show socks once spring hits.
The convenience and comfort of flats aren't lost on us, either. Our GH Institute experts and editors rounded up their personal favorites from brands we know and love, from seamless slip-ons to ballerinas with memory foam footbeds. Each pair has special design features that prioritize extra comfort for your feet, making it easier to depart from uncomfy heels that take up real estate in your work bag. And best of all, they are super stylish and come in an array of colors: black, beige, gold, you name it.
