The 18 Best Ballet Flats Perfect for Everyday Wear

When you want a shoe that’s both stylish and comfortable, you turn to Margaux. The brand’s take on the ballet flat features a classic silhouette with a grosgrain trim and dainty bow detail, as well as plush interior padding that feels like you’re walking on clouds. Mark our words: You’ll love these so much, you’ll want one in every color possible.

One reviewer raves: “I was having trouble find a good quality pair at a reasonable price. I ordered my first pair (classic black of course) and loved them so much I bought 5 more pairs in various colours. They are so comfortable, well made with good padding for support, and they really show off the elegant bones of the feet. I’m absolutely a Margaux girl now and already plan on eventually adding another half dozen pairs to my collection.”
