When even my friends who truly thrive in stilettos are dabbling in loafers, I know I can safely report that there's really something to this flat-footwear trend. As someone who has never shied away from avoiding heels, I couldn't be more thrilled. Although, it's somewhat cruel that the internet is suddenly providing all the flat shoes my heart could ever desire right when I've finally taken it upon myself to cull my footwear down to just a handful of perfect styles.
Even if you can't imagine your work wardrobe sans heels, allow me to introduce you to some flat footwear that will keep things chic on your winter commute. From Mary Janes to ballet flats, loafers to slingbacks, metallic styles to sneakers, these 32 pairs just might make you think twice about stealthily changing out of them under your desk.
