New Flats Worth a Look

These six picks show the spread of DSW’s flats, from clearance Mary Janes to designer ballet silhouettes. Each belongs for a different reason, price, comfort or occasion, giving you a quick read on the range.
Kelly & Katie Tajah Mary Jane Flat, A Strap-Up Everyday Pick at Clearance Prices, $34.98 to $49.99
A Mary Jane with a slim strap across the vamp, the Tajah brings polish without the splurge. Clearance pricing runs $34.98 to $49.99, making it a low-risk way to refresh a work rotation or pack a reliable pair for travel. The strap adds security that a plain ballet flat cannot.
Clarks Cathrynn Luna Flat, Cushioned Comfort for Long Days, Now $74.99, Down From $79.99
Clarks puts comfort first, and the Cathrynn Luna is priced at $74.99, down from $79.99. That makes it the pick for shoppers who log real steps, commutes, errands, full shifts, and want a flat that stays wearable past noon. Neutral styling layers cleanly with denim or trousers.
Vince Camuto Jenlea Flat, A Polished Designer Flat Priced at $98.99 for Dressier Days
At $98.99, the Jenlea sits at the top of this group and is the one to consider when the occasion justifies it. Vince Camuto leans dressier, so treat this as an event or office flat rather than an everyday workhorse, and check VIP rewards to offset the higher price.
Steve Madden Zima Ballet Flat, A Clean Ballet Silhouette Made for Everyday Wear at $69.99
Zima is a straightforward ballet flat at $69.99, the middle option for shoppers who want a clean silhouette without a big spend. Steve Madden's fashion-forward reputation shows in the shape, which reads easily with cropped denim, a simple skirt or a relaxed dress on ordinary days.
Jessica Simpson Mandalaye Ballet Flat, Dressy Ballet Style at an Easy $68.99 Price Point
Also a ballet silhouette, the Mandalaye lands at $68.99 and gives shoppers a second fashion-forward option to compare directly against the Zima. Jessica Simpson styles lean pretty and feminine, so consider it when you want a dressier toe shape for daytime events, showers or lunches.
Steve Madden Zarah Mary Jane Flat, Trend-Led Strap Detail on Clearance From $54.98 to $79.99
A second Steve Madden entry, the Zarah updates the Mary Jane with trend-led strap detail and clearance pricing from $54.98 up to $79.99. Compare it against the Tajah when you want strap security but a more current line. The spread means size and color can shift the price you pay.

Anne Klein Ultimate Flat, The Office-Ready Flat You Can Wear All Day, Now $59.99

The Anne Klein Ultimate Flat lands at $59.99 and is built for the shopper who needs one dependable pair doing double duty at work and after. Anne Klein leans tailored, so the shape reads polished with trousers or a skirt, while the price stays below the dressier designer flats above.

Where Flats Earn Their Keep

Flats serve a lot of days, full work shifts, city walking, dressed-up evenings and packed travel. The right pair depends less on trend and more on what your schedule asks of your feet, so match the style to the situation.

Office Days That Run Long

A tailored flat with a secure strap holds up through meetings and a commute without looking casual. Prioritize a structured toe and a cushioned footbed, since those are the two things that decide how your feet feel by the end of the shift.

Weekend Errands and City Walking

Errand days reward a soft, grippy flat that forgives uneven pavement. A ballet or slip-on shape keeps things light, while a roomier toe stops the rubbing that shows up after a long loop of shops and side streets.

Dressier Events and Evenings

Dressier flats trade everyday durability for a cleaner line, which works well for dinners, showers and evening events where you are seated more than you walk. Choose a smooth finish that photographs nicely under warm light.

Travel Days and Packed Schedules

Travel calls for one flat that covers airport lines, sightseeing and a nice dinner. Pick a cushioned slip-on in a neutral finish, and consider buying before you fly so a new pair is broken in on your own terms at home.

Before You Choose

What Separates One Flat From the Next

Strap Security and Fit

A strap across the vamp keeps a flat planted through long walks, while a slip-on trades that grip for easy on and off. Decide which you miss more.

Cushioning Underfoot

Cushioning under the footbed is what decides whether a flat survives hour six. Comfort-oriented names build more of it in, and it shows on real walking days.

Price Tiers and Clearance

Markdowns in this category often run as a range rather than one number, so the size and color you want can shift what you actually pay at checkout.

Shape and Toe Silhouette

Toe shape changes both look and comfort. A rounded or roomier toe gives toes space, while a tapered point reads dressier but can feel tighter over time.

Material and Care

Smooth leather-like finishes wipe clean and dress up easily, while soft textiles feel lighter but mark sooner. Match the finish to how rough your week gets.

Brand and Occasion Fit

Different labels tilt dressy, comfort or trend. Start from where you'll actually wear the flat, then let the brand reputation narrow the field faster.

Know the Styles

Three Directions Inside the Flat Category

Flats break into a few clear directions, strapped Mary Janes, soft ballet silhouettes and slip-on comfort styles. Knowing which one matches your day makes narrowing down this page much faster.

Mary Jane Flats With Secure Straps

Mary Janes add a strap across the vamp, which keeps the shoe planted through longer walks and busy days. Look for an adjustable closure and a slightly structured toe if you want polish with real security.

Ballet Flats for Soft, Simple Style

Ballet flats are the softest, simplest shape in the category. They slip on fast and pair easily with skirts and dresses, but check the topline and toe room so the fit stays comfortable after a few hours.

Slip-On Comfort Styles for Long Days

Slip-on comfort styles put cushioning and a roomier fit ahead of trend. They suit commutes, errands and travel days, and reward shoppers who care more about how the foot feels late in the day than a delicate line.

What It's Like Shopping Flats at DSW

Marisol P.
Marisol P.Found her work rotation at clearance prices
I needed three pairs for the office without blowing my budget, and the clearance range made that realistic. I compared the strap styles side by side, ordered two, and returned one with no hassle at all. Walking out with a full week of work flats felt like a genuine win.
Danielle R.
Danielle R.Appreciated comfort guidance for long shifts
I work twelve-hour shifts and always assumed flats would hurt by hour six. Sorting by comfort-oriented brands pointed me toward cushioned options, and the difference was obvious on my very first full day. I still had energy left in my feet at the end, which is new for me.
Alicia M.
Alicia M.Compared designer flats before committing
The selection was wide enough that I could line up four designer flats at very different prices. Reading the differences in shape and occasion helped me skip the ones that looked pretty but would never suit my commute. I placed one order and got it right the first time.
Priya K.
Priya K.Used VIP perks to offset a second pair
Joining the rewards program before I checked out made the second pair much easier to justify. I started with a clearance flat as a trial, liked the fit enough to come back for a dressier option, and free shipping on both orders kept the whole process painless.
Renée L.
Renée L.Travel packing got noticeably simpler
I buy flats specifically for travel, and comparing toe shapes here saved me from packing something too delicate for real walking. The pair I chose survived three cities of pavement and still looked presentable at dinner. That is the only test I really care about.

Answers to Common Flats Questions

Sizing, markdowns and comfort expectations decide whether a flat earns a spot in your rotation. The answers below cover price ranges, strap versus slip-on trade-offs and which comfort signals to weigh before you order.
Mary Janes add a strap across the vamp, which keeps the shoe on your foot through longer days and faster walks. Ballet flats slip on easily and read softer with skirts and dresses. If security matters more than a bare look, start with a strap.
Several flats here are listed as a range, for example $34.98 up to $49.99, which usually reflects different sizes or colors at different markdowns. Expect the lowest end to sell through first, so check the price shown for your exact size before deciding.
Comfort-focused labels like Clarks and Naturalizer are the safer bet for high-step days, since both build cushioning into everyday silhouettes. A strap also helps prevent heel slip. If you are on your feet constantly, weigh comfort pedigree over the lowest price.
Paying more usually buys a dressier shape and materials that handle more occasions rather than extra comfort. If you will wear the flat to the office or events, the higher price can be justified. For errands and travel, a clearance pair often does the same job.
DSW supports its flats with free shipping plus VIP reward perks for members, which can soften costs across repeat purchases. That matters when you are trying a new fit or replacing a worn pair, so signing up before checkout is the simplest way to capture the value.
