What makes flats comfortable

A cushioned insole, soft leather and a flexible sole make the biggest difference. Look for a secure heel so the shoe stays put, and a rounded toe box with space to move.

A little structure in the sole helps on long days.

Flats for work and weekends

Choose polished leather for the office and soft suede for relaxed days. Browse ballet flats for a classic shape or mary jane shoes for extra hold. For more lift, see low heels.
