Mefound Faux Leather Flats
$26 at Amazon
My favorite thing about Kate’s shoes? She wore the same ones this time last year, proving that they’re a timeless addition to any wardrobe. I also appreciate the subtly pointed-toe design and loafer-like aesthetic. A shopper with wide feet and high arches testified that the memory foam insole feels “soft under my feet.”
Madewell Greta Glove Flats
$98 $88 at Amazon
Glove flats are on the rise — just ask Katie Holmes. This style reminds me of the ones she recently wore with its smooth exterior and higher vamp. Thanks to the soft interior and plush padding, one Madewell shopper was able to walk “over 10,000 steps at a conference” without “one blister or pinched toe.”

Lawrence convinced me that I need a pair of her Salomons expeditiously. They’re all the cuteness of a ballet flat with the stability of a sneaker. Plus, there are no shoelaces to worry about untying while you’re running errands or riding a bike. Other bonus points go to the mesh upper, which keeps your feet from overheating, as well as the cushy insole. According to an art teacher, the shoes keep their feet “very comfortable” after “more than 8 hours of standing and walking.”
There are more celeb-inspired ballet flats to explore, including a lookalike for Cameron Diaz’s sleek pointed-toe shoes and an style that reminds me of ones I’ve seen on Zoë Kravitz.
