I’ve been commuting in flip-flops for months now, because I can’t justify the beating my shoes take between the bus and the not-built-for-walking streets and sidewalks of Cincinnati. And I’ve gotta be honest: I’m totally done with summer. I know I’ve been very vocal about that lately, but honestly, can I please start arriving to work not frizzy-haired and drenched in humidity?

To that end, I’m ogling all kinds of commuting-worthy flats on Amazon, treating it like my own personal Netflix of shoes – whenever I see one I want, I add it to the queue and buy it whenever I’m able to. Here’s my current favorites.

[A note on the links: since there are so many links in this post, I'm not using affiliate links, because I'd feel a little greedy. If, however, you're feeling generous and you want to buy any of these in support of me and my blogging habit, you can click on this little shop I set up and get them over there. The shop even features a few that I didn't write about here, so check it out. Make sense? Awesome. Thanks for understanding!]


Nine West’s Facinate [what is it with shoe designers and their spelling issues?!] comes in thirteen different colors and textures. Fun times!


Newlyn, also by Nine West, capitalizes on the current pyramid stud trend.

DV by Dolce Vita’s Dina. More pyramid studs!

Berta, by Tracy Reese. This comes in a few different color combos. I think I’d like to wear these with riding pants and a cloche hat.

Melin by Steven by Steve Madden is a funky take on the menswear-inspired wing tips. I have to have these.
