Footloose: 10 best flat shoes for spring
We run through lace-ups, pumps, sandals and slingbacks to see you through until summer. And there’s not a heel in sight
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The onset of (slightly) warmer weather makes us want to get out and about, free our feet from boots and tights and slip into something a little more, well, spring-like.
From pretty pastel lace-ups and paired down, elegant sandals to colour-popping pumps and plimsoles, we think we’ve found flat footwear that will get you through the next few months.

Verdict:
Zara’s versatile pointy flats, with their gold detailing will work for day and night. New Look’s daisy print trainers are a winner for festival season. And for when the mercury finally goes up – or you head off on holiday – River Island’s pastel mules are an ideal poolside choice.
