They used to shame them, now they wear them! Yes, ladies. Gone are the days when women had to wear heels to shine bright and make an entrance. Now, it’s all about the attitude you give and the style you wear oh-so proudly.

So for those of you who can’t bear the thought of having to wear heels and suffer the aftermath of swelling and blisters, then we have fabulous news for you. Flats are back and this time around, they’ve taken the beautiful form of boots. Talk about two birds with one stone! Flat boots work well with everything, from sporty jeans to more posé trousers, classy skirts and flirty dresses. And if we’re being completely honest here, it’s their versatility that has won them a broader fan base. Think of it this way; if you’re more of a rocker-chic kind of gal, then you’ll most definitely sway towards motto boots. If you’re the minimalistic type, then you’ll go for pointed ankle boots. But no matter what you’ll choose, one thing’s for sure, you will always be an avatar of style and flair.

That said, what are this season’s must have flat boots? To get you inspired, we’ve scoured a slew of regal boots in the Photo Gallery below. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience we might cause your bank accounts.
