The best flat shoe styles for winter

Prolonged WFH means your tolerance for heels is probably pretty low. Try these chic flat styles for the office, after work drinks and everywhere in between.

Flat boots

For ultra comfortable shoes head to Bared Footwear in Manchester Lane. A podiatrist created the brand to ensure good alignment and soft cushioning were a top priority. This unique boot captures all the biggest trends of the season – lace-up detail, flat sole and military details. Choose basic black, or lighten your look with bubbly champagne tones.

Recycled rubber Ganni mules

Step away from standard winter shoes with this chunky pink statement mule from Ganni. Made from recycled rubber, the cleated sole beauties can be found in-store at Incu. Bit cold to bare your heels? Sustainable fashion brand Lumi has wool tights in neutral and bold colours to keep you warm.

Slip on flatform sock boots

Head to Radical Yes to join the flat shoe revolution. Described as their ‘most comfortable shoe’, the black neoprene Sunny boot is sporty and luxe in equal measure. The ankle hugging design creates a sophisticated silhouette, while the trainer sole means you can run around all day – blister free.

Marimekko sneakers

Print lovers Marimekko have always delivered fun into our wardrobes, and their latest take on the sneaker is no exception. Their signature daisy print is splashed across a range of colourful sneakers. Pair them with a sleek jumpsuit for a casual office look, or jeans and a jumper to bring a little colour to your weekend.

Comfy leather slip-ons

Bring a little levity to your winter wardrobe with something other than black. ELK's Tocka Sneaker comes in bright white with a shimmery silver toe. Made from premium leather and sporting a casuel loafer design, they can dress up a pair of jeans or dress down your fave winter dress.

Ballet flats for the modern era

Say goodbye to those little bows and cheap elastic for good. Today's ballet flat is chic, minimal and comfy enough to get you from dusk to dawn. We rate the bright red Casi Casi from Camper, made from 20 per cent recycled materials. Peter Sheppard also has a cute pair in store, made from waved leather with a subtle block heel.

Winter espadrilles

Local brand Kuwaii always nails Melbourne’s sense of style, and this low-heeled, embossed leather pair is no exception. They're made in Melbourne from deadstock leather and reinforced with orthopaedic grade features. Pair with their 70s-style co-ord set for major vintage vibes.
