Barefoot Flats for Women: Ballet Flats and Sandals

Two kinds of flat shoe share this page. Ballet flats are laceless slip-ons that close around the foot, and sandals open up for warm weather, mostly with buckle straps. Both rest on an ultra-thin, flexible, zero drop sole and a toe box that is wide and foot-shaped, which is what separates a barefoot flat from an ordinary one.

Choosing between them

  • Ballet flats: slip-on, round toe for the most part, and wearable across spring and autumn.
  • Sandals: buckle straps you can adjust, intended for summer.

Colours include light tan, red, green, blue, sandy and navy blue. Every pair is made to order from vegetable-tanned leather. If you are comparing ballet styles, the ballet flats buyer's guide sets out what matters.
