I Just Found the Best Mesh Ballet Flats for Fall—Plus 6 Other Styles I Can’t Stop Thinking About

I’m a sneaker girl through and through and am usually never without my favorite styles from Cariuma , Adidas , and even some good designer dupes from Target . But the ballet flats trend has come for my shoe collection, and I can’t stop wearing them with everything from casual to dressy looks. A few weeks ago, I was doing some serious investigative journalism on the best ballet flats and noticed a subtrend within the flats family: From Dolce Vita to Free People , mesh styles are quietly popping up everywhere.

Margaux The Demi Jane $275 Buy Now at margaux I know these flats aren’t the most budget-friendly ballet flats, but they are by far one of the most comfortable pairs I own. In addition to having that trendy mesh construction, these flats feature flexible leather trim and soles for a level of quality that makes them well worth the high price tag. The flats come in an impressively inclusive size range of 3 through 14, are true to size, and fit like a glove, which isn’t something I often experience in this shoe style (I typically size down so that they don’t flap off my heels while I walk). Plus, they feature an adjustable strap across the foot and come in medium, narrow, and wide styles for a more customized fit. On top of all that, the ballet flats feature 5mm of foam in the insoles, which gives them enough padding for longer-lasting comfort.

The only downside? Some sizes and widths are made-to-order (this is how they’re able to accommodate such a vast size range). So, depending on your size, you might have to wait a couple of months to receive them.

Sizes Available: 3-14 (in medium, narrow, and wide)
Colors: 2 mesh colors (10 colors total)
Material: Leather, mesh
