Although rounded toes have come really far for work, I still think the best flat for work is one that has a bit of a point to it, in a durable leather, preferably with a rubber sole or rubber heel for comfort and grip. We’ve rounded up some of the best-selling, highest rated comfortable ballet flats - which brands and styles are your favorite?
Made from quality kidskin leather, these Rowan flats feature M.M.LaFleur’s signature memory foam footbeds that provide extra support. Other favorites are the Monika Cap Toe by AGL and Felicia from Sam Edelman.
Some of the longest-standing “investment ballet flats”, $300–$900 as of 2023 are the Lauren Scalloped Ballet Flat by Chloé, Ferragamo's Varina leather flat and the Rockstud pointed toe by Valentino Garavani.
If you’re hunting for a washable or foldable flat, readers LOVE Rothy’s. (They also make a pointy-toe version and a square toe version!) They’re often available in tons of fun colors and prints, and they’re super lightweight.
Felicia has been a top-rated bestseller for years, and Sam Edelman keeps coming out with more and more colors, prints, and materials. I like the affordable price point ($100) and you can find them at Zappos, Nordstrom, Amazon, and a ton of other retailers.
Cap-toe details on ballet flats are nothing new — and yet this flat from Aeyde feels fresh because of the square toe and unusual shape of the cap toe. It feels really modern but classic! It's $295, available at Nordstrom and NET-A-PORTER.
