The worst part about "flats" is the fact that they are, well, flat. I love Bobs for a few reasons: 1. They have memory foam so my feet aren't aching by lunchtime. 2. They are super affordable (less than $40 at the time I'm posting this) so I can stoc...
Skechers BOBS® Flexpadrille Too Ritz Slip-On
I love these because they have sneaker bottoms without the sneaker look. I really like the removable memory foam inserts because if they don't work for you (or if they wear down over time), you can swap them out for your own inserts.
Skechers Be Cool Knitwaves Slip-On- Women's
Dr. Scholl's does not mess around when it comes to comfort and arch support. These give all the comfort (maybe more) of athletic tennis shoes but with a more polished look and neutral coloring that works with all the teacher looks!
Dr. Scholl's Time Off Platform Sneaker - Women's
Keds is one of my favorite brands. My mom always wore them when I was a kid, and their styles have really evolved since then. These slip on, have that hard, sneaker-like bottom, and come in a few different neutral colors that will match plenty of tea...
Keds Pursuit Slip-On Sneaker - Women's
These flats are cute, cushioned, super affordable, and come in a bunch of different colors!
Kelly & Katie Maurene Ballet Flat
These are easy to throw on with any outfit. Comfortable on their own, but also have room for your own inserts, and have a nice perforated texture that makes them a touch more professional looking than your average slip-on!
Kelly & Katie Estarr Slip-On Sneaker
These are BEAUTIFUL and under $50! I'm obsessed.
Madden Ballet Flat
I find myself reaching for my Puma sneakers 4 out of 5 days a work week. While sneakers usually have a more casual vibe, these are a lot more attractive than your typical walking shoes, but have an equal comfort level.
Puma Palermo Sneaker - Women's
Comfortable, lots of color options, and a little bit of extra height without the pain of heels!
Eurosoft Magnolia Wedge Sandal
If you like the look and feel of sandal wedges without your toes out (or "dogs out" as the kids say), these are a great option!
Kelly & Katie Laurna Wedge Sandal
New Balance has come a long way since being labeled "dad shoes". I love the neutral colors of these and I find them incredibly comfortable when I'm on my feet all day.
New Balance CT300 v3 Court Sneaker
Is anyone else in the 5 foot 2 club? If you want to assert your dominance and actually stand taller than your middle schoolers, these are the shoes for you!
New Balance 515H Platform Sneaker - Women's
Birkenstocks are a cult classic. While the traditional flat ones may or may not be frowned upon by your admin, the wedges up the professional looking style game!
