Chic is the name of the game when it comes to the Nordstrom shoe section. While I often go in-person to check out all of the latest arrivals at Nordstrom's jaw-dropping New York flagship store, there's just something special about online shopping from the comfort of my couch after a long day. Everyone deserves a sweet little treat, and for me, that comes in the form of cool girl–approved mesh ballet flats.
If you haven't taken a peek at Nordstrom's unmatched shoe section this summer, let this be your sign. From Steve Madden to Jeffrey Campbell, there are dozens of our favorite designers with both elegant and modern offerings for you to peruse. Whether you're in the mood for minimalist sandals or Y2K-inspired kitten mules, these 34 Nordstrom shoes just might have you pulling out your credit card faster than you think.
These jelly flats might be some of the coolest shoes of the summer.
This thong heeled sandal is such a classic style when the weather heats up.

My favorite sandal trend this summer is an embellished toe ring, hands down.
No words necessary.
As a Gen Z editor, I have to admit this pair might be one of my favorites on this list.
Adorable.
I got these last month, and yep, they look just as expensive IRL as they do online.
Run, don't walk— the sneakers of the summer are back in stock.
Every editor on our team swears by these square-toe flip-flops. You might think paying more than $2 for a pair of plastic shoes seems ridiculous, but trust us, the cost per wear on these is cents on the dollar.
IYKYK.
There's nothing I want more than a pair of Pinterest-beloved Salomon sneakers, and these fit the bill perfectly.

So cute.
This oxblood-red patent slingback is ideal for any date night.
While I'm usually hesitant when it comes to colored sandals, this Steve Madden pair reminds me so much of The Row's strappy jelly flats. While they are different shoes, they give off the same vibe in my eyes.
"Ugly"-shoe lovers, this one is for you.
Prada vibes without the Prada price tag.
Another mesh ballet flat to feast your eyes upon.
A metallic slingback is such a capital-F fashion moment.
These look so comfortable.

I'm nothing if not a mesh-flat lover.
I've lusted over these pink Mansur Gavriel ballet flats since they came out.

Can I admit something? I'm a sucker for gladiator sandals.
This looks rich.
Aren't you glad you kept scrolling so you could see these timeless beauties?
This pair forever lives right by my door since I wear them so often.
No joke, I've convinced six editors on our team to buy this pair of Tory Burch sandals (and I hope I'm convincing you, too!).
Okay, I think I need these.
I'll leave you with this pretty pair.
