The Best Ballet Flats to Buy This Fall
It’s official – ballet flats are back! Everyone from Katie Holmes to Kendall Jenner and JLo has been photographed wearing this trend lately. For those of you who email and say you can’t wear heels, this post is for you. Today, I’m sharing the best ballet flats to buy this fall. So get ready!
What should I look for when buying a pair of ballet flats?
When shopping for ballet flats, consider comfort and style first. Look for arch support, especially if you’ll be wearing them on long ballet days. Brands like Margaux and Everlane offer options with cushioned insoles and supportive toe boxes to ensure all-day wearability. For added durability, rubber soles are ideal, especially if you’re prone to more active days. If you have narrow feet, look for flats with adjustable straps or choose brands like Rothy’s, which cater to various foot shapes.
For those seeking luxury, materials like Italian leather or patent leather are great choices—especially for options like Mansur Gavriel or Loeffler Randall. Keep in mind that some flats might require a short break-in period to mold perfectly to your feet.

Pointed Toe Ballet Flats
These Italian Leather Pointed Bow Flats are super cute! I’ve worn them non-stop since I bought them. I wore them to my mother’s, and we were leaving to run some errands. As I walked down her concrete steps, I remembered that I had forgotten something in the house. I turned around too quickly and stubbed my toe on the concrete. It scuffed the leather, and it almost made me sick.
I ordered another pair because I love them so much, and I also bought the cognac color too. They are slightly tight, so you might want to size up if you are between sizes.
I’ve tried several cap toe shoes, but this is the first pair I’ve kept. I love the look and style of these shoes on other people, but I never liked them on me until this pair. Don’t ask me what is the difference because I honestly don’t know. It could be that this style is different from the others, or maybe my taste has changed. 🤷♀️
Tory Burch Ballet Flats
You know I love my heels, but that doesn’t mean I don’t wear flats. I bought these Tory Burch ballet flats years ago, and they still look almost brand new. I love the gold Tory Burch logo against the dark caramel shoe, and they dress up a casual look just a tiny bit. These flats were a splurge for me, so I picked a pair that I thought I would wear a lot.

The Best Ballet Flats to Buy This Fall from Amazon
This pair is very similar to the pair I’m wearing above. As you can tell, I love camel and black. I also love camel and white. I pretty much love camel and anything! You have to admit, camel and black are a classic combination. These have a flexible sole and slip-resistant outsole, but let’s be honest, I’m just here for the fabulousness!
How should I style ballet flats?
Ballet flats are incredibly versatile and can be styled in many ways. For a casual, everyday look, pair your day ballet flats with jeans or sneakers for a modern twist. If you’re going for a polished outfit, try wearing your square toe or demi flats with skirts or trousers for a chic, office-ready ensemble. Brands like Margaux and Nordstrom offer timeless styles that can elevate your closet basics, while fancier options like Loeffler Randall or Rothy’s are perfect for adding a touch of flair. For dressier occasions, flats with embellishments, like Mary Janes or ballet slippers, pair beautifully with dresses, giving you comfort without sacrificing style.
Best Ballet Flats From Brands Known For Comfort
Just because a shoe is flat doesn’t mean that it is comfortable. This pair is by Vionic, and I’m sure you’ve heard of this brand. I love the great neutral color that would go with jeans or dresses. I LOVE Vionic and have several shoes by them. I’ve never been disappointed. Love the chic bow and the gold detail. Very classy.
Here is another pretty ballet flat by a well-known comfort brand, Dr. Scholl’s. The weave detail is a nice touch that adds a little something extra to a black flat. These have cushioning inside with helps with comfort. I love a good flat but I hate it when it feels like you’re walking on concrete. If you don’t love the black, no worries. These are available in several others including a soft pink.
I wanted to show these in black because you can never have too many black shoes, but it is hard to see the detailing of the knot. You can see below how gorgeous they are. You can wear these with so many things – jeans and skirts or long dresses.
Here they are in another favorite color of mine, mustard yellow. These are very chic! Y’all, they are very affordable. The reviews say they run true to size, but if you’re between sizes, go up. Mustard goes with a ton of colors – navy, gray, white, denim, and even pink!

These are similar to the black/mustard pair above, but instead of a knot, they have a chic bow detail. I also like the cutout design over the foot. Ballet flats don’t have to be boring. It’s all in the details. These come in a variety of colors and like the others, won’t break the bank. I think gray is very pretty and a great alternative to black.
I love the knot on these and the rounded toe. They would look so good with a nice pair of jeans. The sleek design and soft, flexible material make them an easy choice for both work and casual outfits. The insole provides cushion for all-day comfort, and they even offer half sizes for a better fit.
They come in several chic colors, perfect for pairing with your favorite skirts or trousers. Plus, the lightweight feel makes them ideal for those busy days when you’re constantly on your feet. Whether you’re dressing up or keeping it casual, these flats are sure to become a go-to!
The Best Ballet Flats to Buy This Fall from Walmart
These scrunch ballet flats are similar to the Tory Burch pair above but a few hundred dollars less expensive. The gold medallion logo sure must cost a lot. Lol! These Time and Tru scrunch ballet flats are such a steal! I adore how they have that flexible, scrunchy design that forms to your foot, making them super comfy even for wide feet.
The casual style is perfect for running errands or casual weekends. You could wear them with anything from jeans to a casual dress. These flats are machine washable too—what a game changer! They come in several fun colors, so you can add a pop of style to your fall wardrobe without breaking the bank.
Aren’t these lovely? I love a sweet, feminine shoe. Imagine these peeking out from underneath a great pair of jeans. I love the blue, but they also come in a natural linen and white. The only issue I have with these is that they don’t have any sizes larger than a nine. Bummer! They are machine washable though, and the reviews are good. Plus, they are very affordable which is always nice.
Ballet Flats That Are Dressy
If you’re looking for a little sparkle this fall, these YQRUIMIAO rhinestone ballet flats are a showstopper! With their pointed toe and stunning rhinestone embellishments, these flats are perfect for a dressy night out or even a wedding. The silhouette is sleek, with a comfortable insole that offers just enough cushion for long hours on your feet. These shoes are lightweight, yet the rhinestones give them a luxurious feel, making them a fantastic option for pairing with a fancy dress or even satin trousers. Available in multiple colors, you can find the perfect pair of ballet flats to add some glamour to your outfit
Aren’t these pretty?!? With a pointed toe and dazzling rhinestone details, these flats add a touch of glamour to any outfit. Whether you’re wearing them to a special event or just want to dress up a casual look, these ballet flats are a great alternative to heels. The insole provides soft cushioning, and the lightweight design makes them easy to wear all day. Pair them with a skirt or satin trousers for a chic, polished look

What brand jeans are you wearing in this blog about wearing flats. I see the first picture says they are from JJill but the rest of the pictures the jeans look different and very comfortable.
Thank you!
Ann
Ann, I have no idea what pair of jeans those were. The photos were from last year, and I have forgotten about the jeans.
I love the ballet flats and my style is comfort first! no “sitting” shoes for me. as AUNT Mary used to say.
I do love ballet flats and need a pair or two or even three pairs.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I like ballet flats, but this season I am more into square toed Mary Janes. BTW~You look great in the ballet flats.
I pray you get to feeling better very soon. Also praying for your Mom. Praying for Florida and the hurricane season that all will be safe. Praying for Israel too. Thank you for sharing fashion with us
I can’t wear most flats due to several foot conditions, but I love them and they look so cute on you! I love how versatile beige flats are! Would you answer a styling question for me? I recently bought ankle length, faux leather pants. Would you wear ankle booties or knee length boots? I feel like the length is challenging. The pants are pictured with heels, but I’d rather wear boots. Hope you can help Tania!
Deborah, I would normally go with ankle boots, but I want them to be the longer versions. I don’t like skin to show between the ankle boot and the pants. If they aren’t long enough, then I opt for pumps or knee boots.
Thank you Tania! This makes so much sense. I have a pair that I think will fit the bill, and now I can’t wait to try this combo! I love your posts, thank you for sharing your life, fashion advice, and bible quotes. You inspire me!
Lucy Lu is such a cutie 🥰 I Love dogs! 🐕 Thank You for this post I like how you had basic ballet flats and then showed dressy ballet flats I saw so Many that I want to get they are on my wishlist. I really hope 🙏🤞 🍀 that you feel better real soon!!!!
I have yet to find a pair of ballet flats that are comfortable. I’ll have to check out your recommendations.
So glad to see flats are in style since that’s pretty much all I wear!! I’ll actually be in style for a change.
I love the dressier flats that you displayed. My heels days are over, but there are times when a nicer looking shoe is needed. I think these would be good to pack for cruises, etc. plus they would not take up a lot of packing space.
Thanks for the great post!!
LL is soooo cute!!!
Lucy Lou looks so cute
Thanks!
So cute but my feet need more support.
I love so many of these. Next time I get to the city I’m going to try some on. I Have a very narrow heel so have trouble fitting.
I LOVE ballet flats. Other than sandals (I live in a warm climate), ballet flats are the most common shoes I have in my closet. Most of mine have a little embellishment, and of course two pair in leopard. 🙂
I love fall and winter clothing. I guess cause you can cover up everything. If anyone is in FL I will be praying for all of you. I use to live in PCB, FL. I don’t miss putting up hurricane shutters and having to run to higher ground. Love all the styles. Keep them coming!!! Bless Day!!
I just love all these ballet flats! I remember when Sam and Libby ballet flats were in style. I am showing my age here…..😂 It is great that you have all different price points. They are all so much fun!
Cute shoes
great selection of ballet flats. I wear flats often and also like loafers.
Lucy Lu looks adorable! I love ballet flats! Hope you feel better! I know weather changes affect my migraines. Get some rest!
Lucy Lu is adorable and I know she was so happy to see you. I don’t have much luck with ballet flats as they don’t stay on my heel. I’ll have to try a few different styles to see if one works.
Ballet flats are my go to. I love my Tieks and Tory Burch but will be trying some of these cute less expensive ones. Thanks for showing different price ranges
Casual to super dressy!!! I need some alone time to really look at them!!!!
You can never have too many ballet flats! They always remind me of Audrey Hepburn- loved her style.
Thank you for the Amazon gift card! Exciting to be the most recent winner. 😊
I have a pair of Lucky Brand ballet flats (old) that i kept and they are comfortable so glad they are trending this fall.
I hope you find something fun to purchase.
Love the gray flats with the bow!! Thankyou for the recommendations!
So many cute choices! Lucy Lu is so cute!
I love these cute flats. I rarely wear a heel anymore.
I do love my ballet flats…I guess I didn’t know they were “out”…I’ve never stopped wearing them. I hope you feel better soon! Happy Tuesday ❤️❤️❤️
that slingback is cool and the mustard one is beautiful plus the gray one underneath yeah !
Glad u made it back safely, got a break, and your pupster is happy 😊!
Just love the post on ballet flats
Enjoy your day
Millie Slayton
Well, I am not a ballet shoe girl, but I know so many women love them and look great in them.
I can’t wear real flat shoes. I need at least one half inch or one inch. The white slingbacks in the widget are as low as I can wear. I have square toe leopard ballet shoes with just the right heel that are a few years old.
Feel better !!
Lucy Lu is adorable!
Hi Tania,
I have so many pairs of flats and low heel shoes but because of plantar fasciitis and a high arch they have never been comfortable enough to wear. However, I recently found Dr. Scholl’s hidden Arch supports. They are a game changer. They are different from just an arch support. They have more cushioning, are clear, reusable, stay in place and make all my shoes wearable. I love these and hope they help others too. I bought mine directly from the Dr. Scholl’s website.
I used to have Plantar Fasciitis, but I got rid of mine by wearing Hoka recovery slides. I wear them everyday as my house shoes, and I haven’t had any problem in over a year. They worked for both my sons, too!
is there one in particular you own. I wear house shoes everyday and have a pair of high arch sandals with good support, but would like to try the ones you have.
I own several ballet flats. A couple from Quince and Tory Burch.
My go to ballet flat is from Tieks. These are an investment; however I’ve worn mine for many years. Very supportive and they don’t need to be broken in before wearing.
Flats that feel comfortable are hard to find for me due to various foot issues…. plantar fasciitis, bunions, flat feet…ugh! They look so cute though, so I’m not giving up! I recently bought a pair of pants at Ann Taylor. They are basically wide, faux leather, tan pants that hit at the ankle. On the website they show them paired with pumps which I seldom wear. Would you wear them with ankle boots or knee high boots Tania? Here is the link: https://bit.ly/47M56HO
Lol! I would probably wear them with pumps! However, they look long enough that you could wear them with ankle boots if they are the kind with the longer shaft.
Thanks for posting FLATS….these old feet just can’t do heels anymore. The dressy ones are especially nice to find, should I need them. The change in barometric pressure or something in the weather messes with my sinuses, especially between upstate SC and our condo on the coast.
Feel better soon! How’s your mama doing?
She is doing great. I’ll be visiting her this week.
Those are all cute! I like the mustard pair best. Your pup looks adorable.
Love ballet shoes!
I try to avoid ballot flats but I am interested in tory burch flats. I do love those j Jill jeans. I need to buy a pair.
