I've observed that the flat shoes available on the High Street appear quite premium—these five trends are taking the spotlight.
Although I would love to be the kind of person who can effortlessly wear heels outside every day without regretting it, that’s unfortunately not my reality. I prioritize comfort, so flat shoes are my go-to for practicality and ease—after all, making a run for a train I’m already late for is a challenge in stiletto heels. Previously, I’ve leaned towards trainers paired with jeans, trousers, and even dresses, appreciating the sporty contrast they provide against my usually minimalist outfits. However, this year I’ve decided to explore new options, as there are numerous fantastic flat shoe trends available. From sleek suede sandals (ideal for both now and summer holidays) to stylish woven ballet flats, I’m not exaggerating when I say that the SS25 shoe trends have truly spoiled us with choices for comfortable and fashionable flat shoes. Additionally, since I firmly believe that great style doesn’t have to be costly, I’ve turned to the high street to refresh my wardrobe. Unsurprisingly, the British high street has risen to the occasion this season, not only embracing some of the top flat shoe trends but also offering styles that look far more expensive than their actual price tags. Curious to see what I found? Continue scrolling to check out my selection of the best flat shoes available on the high street (including the ones I’ve since added to my shopping basket, all fashion editor approved)…
**Shop the Best Flat Shoe Trends on the High Street:**
1. **Suede Sandals**
*Style notes:* If you're on the lookout for a new pair of seasonal sandals, a chic suede option is the way to go. The beauty of this flat shoe trend lies in the variety of silhouettes available, allowing you to easily tailor the style to your preferences. For minimalists, consider a chunky suede sandal in a neutral shade, like this one from COS, while those seeking a bolder statement might prefer suede sandals with added features such as buckles or studs.

While traditional rubber styles are a personal favorite for everyday wear, opt for leather (or faux leather) flip flops—they're a timeless choice you'll turn to for seasons ahead.
