In case you haven't noticed, flat shoes are trending in an unprecedented way. Yes, ballet flats are the major player here, but loafers, sandals, and minimal slides are also in the mix. For starters, all of these styles are dangerously convenient to slip into, and the best part is that they're easy on the arches and balls of your feet. You can't say that about high heels, can you? In 2023, it's all about comfort while still keeping things elevated, of course.
Nordstrom and Shopbop have a ton of options, from affordable styles to the luxe designer flats you've probably seen plenty of on your Instagram feed. Below, I rounded up 29 of the flat-shoe styles that are in every stylish person's closet. Yes, classics like Converse, Birkenstocks, and Tevas are the mix, but there are also finds from smaller brands like ATP Atelier, Tkees, and Ancient Greek Sandals that are known for delivering high-quality and fashion-forward flats. Let's just say that scrolling through all of these chic designs will make you want to book that European summer vacation stat. Scroll down and you'll see what I mean.
The humble Birkenstocks are a staple that everyone should own. Your feet will be so happy thanks to the molded footbed.
The silver buckle is so pretty.
All the fashion girlies love these contrasting loafers from G.H. Bass.

Fisherman sandals come around every season, but these ones also have a lug sole for extra traction.
If you ask any fashion editor what brand has the best flip-flops and sandals that won't break the bank, you can bet that they'd say Tkees. You'll get so much use out of this black lace-up style.
The loop on the back of these buttery loafers will help you get them on and off so much easier.
