I'm 5'3" and Hate Most Flats, But I Would Add These 32 Pairs to My Cart RN
At 5'3", I'm not one to usually opt for flats. My choices have always been clear—sneakers or chunky heels. Flats seemed like the boring choice, but as I've started to invest in more staples for my wardrobe, I realized I needed to find more comfortable footwear and can't hold a vendetta against flats for life. I started off easy with a pair of ballet flats from Mansur Gavriel that I cannot stop wearing, so I knew there had to be more for me out there. After taking a lengthy scroll through all my favorite retailers, I quickly realized that there are many flats options on the current market that actually suit my taste. It may mean that I have to put in a little more effort to navigate among the hundreds of pages of options, but the finds are always worth the search.
If you're on the shorter side like me and have difficulty with finding flats that suit you, I've shared my favorite picks below. Keep scrolling for the list of 32 pairs of flats, from delicate ballet flats to chic mules, that made me forget why I steered clear of the style before. With these options, you'll want to add a pair to your cart immediately.
If you don't want the white, this pair also happens to come in five other colors, including a bright orange and neon green.
From the square toe to the tan-colored suede, everything about these deserves your attention.
Mansur Gavriel's ballet flats taught me that there are flats for me out in the world, so for that reason, I need another pair from the brand, right?
When it comes to the loafer style, I always thought a chunky platform or heel was needed. This pair proved me wrong.
I've always wanted the Chanel espadrilles, but I think I'm going to start off with this pair first. Baby steps!
Finding flat party shoes is always difficult.Replica Store to the rescue!
Platform slides have always looked unflattering on me, so I'm giving this option a go.
The gold buckle just adds such an elevated detail to an otherwise simple pair of sandals.
Looking for unconventional bridal shoes? You've found your match.
Or opt for this pearl pair. Both options will be perfect for the big day.
When it comes to comfort, you can't steer away from Birkenstock.
While I don't usually like basic flats like this, the suede and neutral colorway of these make them shoes that I could definitely use in my closet.
