When it comes to getting dressed, we tend to seek shoes that are stylish, but easy to walk in, which is why having a pair of comfortable flats reigns supreme. In fact, we’ll never retire them from our wardrobe, regardless of whether or not they’re trending on the runway (spoiler alert: they are – ballerina flats are everywhere). Flats are chic and versatile; they’re just as much the perfect work shoe as they are a day-to-day footwear staple. The only caveat? Finding the right pair for you. That ends here, though, because we found the best and most comfortable flats to buy this season.
