5 Pairs of Lace-Up Flats to Help You Step Into Spring

We all know Carrie Bradshaw loves a good strappy sandal and we completely agree with the shoe queen herself. There’s just something about that lace-up detail that adds a little something extra to any outfit. But we know that strappy Manolos with a steep heel aren’t perfect for every occassion, unless you ARE Carrie Bradshaw (how did she manage to trot around New York City in those anyway?!). So we’ve found the 5 best lace-up flats to help you step into spring.

1. Steve Madden “Sunshine”

These simplistic flats ($69.95) come in 5 different colors and have a pop of metallic in the heel. Pair these with some baggy boyfriend jeans to wear to class! 

2. Caslon Espadrilles

Nothing says spring and summer quite like a pair of espadrilles ($89.95). These come in three different colors and can easily add a beachy feel to any outfit. Plus, how perfect are these for this summer’s music festivals?

3. Bella Vita “Ollie”

Add an unexpected twist to a formal outfit by pairing these champagne studded flats ($59.90) with a dress. The cute tassels and punky studs just give this pair that extra oomph.

4. ASOS “Lordship”

The intricate cut-outs of these adorable light blue lace-ups ($43) perfectly add dimension and interest to any outfit. The light color makes them perfect for warm weather!

5. ASOS “Level Up”

For those looking for something a little more wild, these flats ($33.50) are the perfect statement piece. Pair with a breezy white dress for an unexpected pop of print!
