It's no secret that Nordstrom has a variety of top-tier products. That said, I want to draw attention to a category where the multibrand retailer has been excelling in stocking stunning styles: shoes. Yes, you heard right. Nordstrom's been killing the shoe game as of late, so I've decided to highlight some summer 2025 flat shoe trends that fashion people have been obsessing over. I can't emphasize enough how amazing Nordstrom's stock of trendy, chic flat-shoe styles is. Keep scrolling as I break down four must-have flat shoe trends and exactly what styles to buy now.
In my summer flat-shoe breakdown, there are woven styles, jelly shoes, flip-flops, and ballet sneakers. If you're trying to add some on-trend styles that’ll go with your breezy dresses, cute jeans, and linen pieces, look no further. Keep scrolling to shop my handpicked, editor-approved selection of these four gorgeous shoe trends available at Nordstrom.
Woven Shoes
There's something undeniable about woven basket-like shoes and their association with summer dressing. Flat-shoe styles like easy sandals and everyday ballet flats have appeared all over the internet. I'd pair these with all your favorite summer dresses and light linen layers.

Jelly Shoes
Embrace the nostalgia because jelly shoes are back. Nordstrom has a range of jelly styles from the hottest brands. From retro-inspired slides to Mary Jane flats, there are so many options for embracing all things jelly this summer.

Ballet Sneakers
There's no denying that ballet-inspired fashion—from shoes to clothing—has skyrocketed in popularity over the last few years. Recently, many brands have been opting for funkier takes on ballet-inspired styles by launching sneakerinas (ballet-sneaker hybrids). Puma's been a standout brand in leading the charge for crafting seriously stylish options, but Nordstrom has a range of others as well.

Flip-Flops
In the last year, the unassuming shoes of summer—flip-flops—have inched their way into the closets of the most stylish fashion people. From classic flip-flops to the leather variety, there's truly a range of this go-to warm-weather flat-shoe style available to shop at Nordstrom.
