8 stylish (but comfortable!) flats every mama needs in her closet

Can’t decide between a slip on or a loafer? With the signature heel-folding style from sustainable geniuses O S A Y the label, you don’t have to. Even better? They’re handmade in small batches of recycled cowhide and leather that’s so supple it molds right to your foot.

If your heels wearing days are on hold (or you’ve just embraced the flats lifestyle) you need a pair of Rothy’s in your closet. (Chances are good you already do. They’re practically synonymous with flats at this point–and for good reason!) They’re comfortable, go with everything and are totally machine washable. It’s always hard to pick a color, but this season’s Dragon fruit hue brings is super on-trend given its undeniable Barbie-core vibe.

Beat it, UGGS. Gorgeous handmade Italian mules that are also lined with shearling? Be still my heart. Made by female artisans, they’re the perfect intersection of comfort and class with a crocodile embossed leather, moldable footbeds and durable Gommini soles. They’re absolutely perfect for fall!

From the minute we discovered their Tree Runners, we’ve been Allbirds super fans. Similarly to their ultra-comfy sustainable sneakers, the Tree Breezers are lightweight and breathable and completely machine-washable. They’re the perfect shoe to throw in your bag for commuting but stylish enough you don’t have to change into heels if you don’t want to. Choose from a ton of fun colors or stick to the neutrals if that’s more your style.

A pointy toed flat you could wear to literally everything from PTO meetings to weddings? You got it. The endless possibilities have us totally swooning over these supple gold leather numbers from Birdies. And while we’d suffer through discomfort to wear something so pretty, we totally don’t have to. The seven-layer footbed and no-slip rubber sole make them feel like little golden clouds.

We’ve never met a pair of TOMS we didn’t like. Their OG slip ons are a perennial staple in our summer shoe line up and their more sophisticated styles are a home run as well. This fall we’re feeling the Jade with its slip on style and leather upper which looks perfect with cuffed jeans.

With over 6K reviews, the Day Glove from Everlane seems to have become one of their most beloved staples. The practical but still fresh style is designed in supple Italian leather to literally fit like a glove. (It may take some breaking in, but it’s so worth it!) Side vents and a grippy rubber sole make them perfect for go, go, going all day long whether you’re embarking on a European adventure or just running to pick up.
