Are Ballet Flats the ‘It’ Spring Shoe? Celebrities Seem to Think So, and This New Release May Be Your Dream Pair

If you’ve ever worn a pair of Birdies shoes, you know that style and comfort go hand in hand… or rather, foot. 

And just in time for spring, the brand launched a new style that’s right on trend: a ballet flat, known as The Hummingbird. Ballet flats are always a good go-to this time of year, as proven recently by Meghan Markle and Katie Holmes, who also happen to be fans of other Birdies styles. Sarah Jessica Parker has worn a pair, too. 

As the weather starts to warm up, trade your bulky fall boots for breezy slip-ons like these ones that are a classy way to dress up a casual outfit. 

Birdies The Hummingbird in Noir Leather

The new Birdies ballet flats, which have a round-toe silhouette, are made with a flexible leather-lined footbed that bends with you as if you’re barefoot and require zero breaking in time. The sole is designed with full arch support and the brand’s signature “cloud-like” seven layers of footbed cushioning that customers rave about in all its other shoes, with some calling them as comfy as slippers.

They come in classic black and gold leather, which can easily be paired with your fancier looks, like a little black dress or trousers and a silky top, or worn casually with shackets and flowy pants. And for a limited time, you can snag a flashy suede pair complete with jewel embellishments that will instantly add a touch of class to any look.

A pair will cost you $130, and you’ll want to hurry because sizes are already selling out. But if you’re looking to pay less for similar comfort, there are several other stylish Birdies shoes on sale, like The Goldfinch and The Crane.  

We’re calling it now: Ballet flats are about to be the “it” shoe of the season, and these ones from Birdies are bound to be everywhere — maybe we’ll even spot a few celebrities wearing them. Scoop up a pair now so you can be one the first to rock the new style.
