I love boots and heels just as much (if not more than) the next person, but the undeniable fact is, this has been the year of flat shoes. From satin balletcore flats, to cheeky Mary Janes, and the loafer shoe trend still going strong, we are simply in the era for styles that are a bit more comfy and easy. Where to go for the best flat shoes, you ask? Personally, my bets are on Nordstrom, mostly because I can confirm their site is stocked with hit after hit after perusing all 1,000+ relevant styles they currently have to offer.
For starters, the selection isn’t a limited one at all. There are styles ranging from studded ballet flats to dainty iterations that wrap around the ankle, shearling-lined slippers, loafers with details such as crocodile embossing or chunky hardware, platform mules, and the Birkenstock collab we didn’t know we needed. Then, as is often the case at Nordstrom, many of them come with a pretty friendly price point, as well. Ahead, we’ve rounded up the very best styles, and we can just see them paired with all your best winter staples now.
Mesh flats are still the moment, and these would look so good with a dainty dress.
Okay, chicness!
Cherry red, baby.
We had to do a double take at that price. These look six times the cost!
These are simply cool, but even better, they can be worn as either mules or slingbacks.
A dreamy silhouette.
Sometimes all you need is that one great hardware detail.
Hey there, twinkle toes.
Gorg!
Bottega vibes.
To be worn with: Everything.
Can we all agree these are the best snake print loafers we've seen in a while?

These are just as elevated as they are fun.
Linen flats? Posh.
The texture of these loafers is worth gushing over, and just imagine them paired with a monochromatic outfit.
These have a cult following for a reason.
Your fall fits will never be the same.
This is the ultimate Birkenstock collab (and they look super cool).
Croc-embossed loafers are very necessary.
You don't have to do much, or anything at all, to make these look good.
These deserve to be paired with a schoolgirl blazer.
Show stealers, truly.
