37 Pairs of Spring Flats We’re Eyeing Right Now
Something about spring just makes us want to shoe-shop. (Maybe the fact that we’ve been wearing the same damn pair of snow boots every day since October?? Maybe??) Now that we’re shedding layers, trading sweaters for T-shirts and whipping out our favorite relaxed jeans on the reg, we’re in dire need of footwear that feels as fresh as our spring wardrobes. That means spring heels, spring wedges and spring flats in every possible shape, texture and color. Budgets, beware—we’re coming for these shoe stores, and we’re coming for them hard.
We’d be lying if we said spring flats were the first thing we thought to stock up on this season. Once we handled our sundress and swimsuit situation, we moved into top-of-mind accessory domains—namely, spring heels and wedges. Heels feel party-worthy and wedges feel vacation-worthy. In other words, they’re fun, and once winter starts to wear off, we can’t bear the thought of practicality any longer. But. Once it gets hot out, no one has the energy to run around in heels and wedges all day—at least, we don’t. So when we’re getting dressed in the morning, we never find ourselves reaching for the spring heels and wedges we just bought. Those are occasion pieces, not everyday ones—and that’s exactly why spring flats are so vital.
Flats get kind of a bad rap. Like we said, flats tend to get lumped in with other practical necessities—leaving them feeling kind of, well, un-fun. But the current selection of spring flats is anything but. Seriously, some of the mules, sandals and loafers on offer at your favorite retailers right now are seriously cute—cuter than some of the spring heels we’ve seen this season, and definitely cute enough to warrant a spot in your fun rotation. If you’ll let them, spring flats will elevate even the laziest of spring ensembles, and they’ll keep you comfortable while they’re at it. That’s a sartorial win/win if we’ve ever seen one. So give spring flats a chance (and a quick perusal), won’t you?
