Fancy Feet

By Kristen Gray

Let’s get real. After a couple hours in our (painful) four-inch heels,
we can’t wait to switch to flats the minute we leave a society event.
We’ve curated gorgeous options for maximum comfort and style—and we might just slip on a pair for next year’s Opera Ball. Why not?

Blue seude shoes.

Aquazzura added playful tassels to these non-boring ballet flats; $750, selfridges.com.

Lush and plush.

Label-loving It Girls are clamoring for Gucci’s Princetown velvet slipper, a new take on a classic style; $850, bergdorfgoodman.com.

Belle of the ball.

These shimmering Gedebe stunners are guaranteed to turn heads at a black-tie soiree; $570, yoox.com.

On the ball.
