As New Yorkers, we’ve done our fair share of walking. Enough that it’s become our primary source of exercise (if those subway stairs don’t count as a workout…). From the weekday commute to weekend activities, we rely on great shoes to get us where we need to be. Enter flats – the well-known silhouette that delivers style without sacrificing comfort. The everyday shoe is a basic (but not) closet staple that remains our #1 pick for everyday ease.

Try on-trend leopard hair calf for a wild twist on an all-black ensemble or take the Annika out in natural or multi-colored snakeskin. If you’re into extending the life of your summer accessories, try the style in hot pink or coconut white for the perfect transition piece.

Seasonal styles have been upgraded in elevated designs that can be dressed up or down. With a pointed toe and stud details, the Aubrey Flat is an edgy take on the classic ballerina flat. Smooth leather and neutral tones make this a must-have shoe that can be worn with everything from casual cropped denim to chic midi dresses.

The Annika Flat takes a simple silhouette and combines smooth suede and vivid colors with exotic materials and a variety of textures. Amethyst purple is a rich tone that adds a subtle pop of color to your fall wardrobe, while black and slate suede offer up a more neutral palette.
