20 Best Ballet Flats Because They’re Back, Baby

Mesh flats have been a divisive topic ever since they found their way into the footwear spotlight last year, but I, for one, am I fan! These will be a lifesaver for those who have sweaty feet or during warmer summer months thanks to the breathable mesh material. These red ones are just too perfect.

Rave Review: "I've been wanting a mesh shoe for close to six months. I finally caved on these adorable red pair for a holiday party and I'm completely obsessed! Super comfortable, true to size, and the color is so good!"

Ganni's take on the ballet flat are these metal buckled silngbacks. The style has become a fan-favorite among the fashion set because of its distinct hardware and angular shape. They also come in so many cute colors if you want to make 'em pop even more.

Mansur Gavriel's ballet flats can be an investment, but they're ones you'll have in your closet for years to come. The best part is that you can add a monogram and have your initials hand painted on the top for shoes that are undoubtedly *yours.* How cute!

The size range, plethora of color options, and choice of widths are all very impressive. Very rarely does a brand give you so much variety so you can find your perfect flat! Margaux's "Demi" flats are some of the best out there, and reviewers are obsessed with the quality, fit, and style.

Rave Review: "I have several pairs of the Demi and they are so awesome. Stylish and super comfortable. I wear a 9 and the 9 medium is perfect."

Obsessed with the metal toe cap. If you're someone who often scuffs the tip of their shoes and wears down the material, this shoe is one solution to that dilemma. It's also a great option for dressier occasions with the subtle shine of the metal contrasting with the solid leather.

Rave Review: "I bought the shoes in white. Perfect shoe for spring dresses. I have always liked Franco Sarto shoes for the look, fit, and quality."

There's something about the shape of this ballet flat that's just so sophisticated. It comes in a ton of neutral shades, so it's guaranteed to go with any outfit year round.

Rave Review: "Soft leather molds to your feet. Fits true to size. I’m usually a 7.5 or 8 in US women's and the 7.5 was a perfect fit for me. Well-priced dupe for The Row’s ballerina flats."

The olive-colored split sole helps with traction, but the flats still keep their flexible shape thanks to the super-soft leather. The velcro straps are surprisingly chic, and they have a removable insole if you find that they fit better without it. Catch me hitting the streets in these durable shoes.

Buckle up! These pointed-toe flats are so striking with the quadruple buckles—three on the vamp and one at the heel. If you like the look at ballet flats, but don't want to suffocate your feet, these cool slingbacks are a great option.

These velvet Italian flats are *chef's kiss.* Between the two-tone color combination, the soft material, and the soles made from recycled rubber, these will be your new go-to flats to instantly make any outfit look more fancy. They do require some breaking in, but once your used to them, they'll be a constant in your rotation.

They're called ballet flats for a reason. Take a cue from the name with these stunning lace-up flats. You can tie these in so many different ways, and these happen to be in the prettiest shade of pink I've ever seen.

Can never resist a great deal. Birdies are known for their ultra-comfy flats, and these leopard-printed ones are no exception. They also happen to be under $100 and come in tons of colors, patterns, and textures. The quilted footbed has leather lining, so your toes will be very happy in these.

Rave Review: "I’m on my feet all day running around at work and these shoes are so comfortable! These are well made and beautiful; I’m always wearing my Birdies."

There's a chance that when you look up "comfy and cute" on the internet, you'll find these Cole Haan shoes at the tippy-top of the results. Okay, I'm totally kidding, but I'm so serious about this pair being what your feet need. The top has some stretch, the elastic heel stays on, there's some cushioning involved, and we're very into the soft-square toe.

Introducing: ballet flats comfortable (and stretchy) enough to wear every single day. These are made of Italian leather and hand stitched from heel to toe. Oh, they're also available in narrow and wide fits!

Rave Review: "Thank you for creating such a wonderful, stylish product. I am in love with it, and I am now using my second pair."

Wait. Why do I suddenly need these bronze beauties on my feet? They're made of leather and feature a stacked leather, oval-shaped heel. I seriously can't get over that metallic color and matching buckle. These are the Mary Jane and ballet hybrid shoes I didn't know I needed!

According to dozens of reviews (and ya know Everlane fans don't lie), this is the kind of ballet flat that'll fit like a glove. This pair is super soft, chic, and you can wear them all day thanks to the cushioning.

Rave Review: "Love these shoes. My second pair. I want every color. The cut is total perfection and the tan color is just great."

Oh, how I adore brands that get nude products for Black women right. Kahmune gets it every time and has several of ballet flats in various shades of brown.

On top of over 1,000 customers' glowing remarks on their style and comfort, Vivaia ballet flats have so many options to choose from in the form of prints, colors, and textures. They'll withstand everyday use because if they get dirty, you can just throw 'em in the washing machine. And, important: They won't cramp your pinky toes, per reviews.

Rave Review: "I walked one mile my first time wearing these. Not a sore spot, blister or 'hot spot.' So comfortable right out of the box!

If Cinderella wore flats, these would be her favorites. According to reviews, this pair is even prettier in person and the mesh material keeps your feet cool.
