10 Comfortable Flats for Fall Travel at Amazon

I’m calling it—flats are officially the shoe of the season. From sleek loafers to darling Mary Janes and classic ballet silhouettes, comfortable flats are everywhere this fall in both fun prints and statement hues. Whether you’re heading on a weekend getaway or commuting into the office, they strike the perfect balance between style and practicality. Their versatility makes them a travel essential—easy to slip on and off through security, lightweight for packing, and chic enough to wear straight from the plane to dinner.

The best part? Today’s flats are a far cry from the stiff styles of my childhood. Modern updates like cushioned insoles, flexible soles, and washable knit materials mean you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for style. I’ve rounded up 10 of the best pairs at Amazon right now,  proving flats deserve a first-class spot in your fall capsule wardrobe (and your carry-on).

Vivaia Margot Mary Jane Flats

I’ve been seeing Mary Jane flats everywhere this fall. From the streets of New York to the airport, this timeless style is being revisited by tons of name brands, and who better to do that than Vivaia? Known best for its sustainably-made shoes, the Margot flats are one of its best-selling styles, with one Amazon shopper admitting that these flats “are worthy of all the buzz.” Crafted from recycled knit materials, the shoes are breathable, machine-washable, and designed to mold comfortably to your feet the more you wear them. Plus, the cushioned insoles make them just as easy to wear on long travel days as they are chic for everyday errands. 

Dream Pairs Foldable Ballet Flats

Finding shoes that are stylish, comfortable, and packable isn’t always the easiest task, but these foldable ballet flats manage to check all the boxes. Loved by flight attendants who need to pack light when on the job, they’re slim enough to fit in a personal item bag, while their cushioned insoles keep your feet comfortable through long days of exploring. One Amazon shopper even dubbed these shoes “the most comfortable flats [they’ve] ever owned.” 

MaxMuxun Faux Suede Round-toe Ballet Flats

Leopard print is having a major moment this fall and winter—and these MaxMuxun flats are the perfect way to add a pop of the pattern to any outfit, whether that be denim or dresses. Beyond their trend appeal, they deliver serious comfort. One Amazon shopper who confessed to having bought 30 or more shoes from Amazon wrote, “I can honestly say that these are the most comfortable, best-fitting flats I’ve ever worn!” Equal parts chic and cozy, these are the kind of statement shoes you’ll reach for all season long. 

Vionic Uptown Loafer

Vionic is a go-to brand for travelers—and you can even count Oprah among its fans—thanks to its unbeatable mix of comfort and style. These best-selling Uptown loafers feature the brand’s signature arch-support technology and a cushioned, flexible footbed that keeps feet happy through long days on the move. They are also podiatrist-approved and come in wide sizing options for those who need a little extra room. Whether paired with tailored trousers or cozy knits, these loafers make every step feel luxurious.

Rothy’s The Square Mary Jane Flats

Rothy’s square-toe flats are a Travel + Leisure favorite thanks to their unbeatable comfort and support right out of the box—no break-in needed. Made from recycled plastic bottles, they’re lightweight yet sturdy, with a flexible strap that adds comfort without digging into the foot. We previously tested these shoes, and after logging over 10,000 steps, our tester had no blisters or pain. Though the price is a bit of a splurge, their durability, versatility, and timeless style make them well worth the investment. 

Frank Mully Round-toe Ballet Flats

Frank Mully’s knit, machine-washable ballet flats are a travel (and everyday) dream with a classic silhouette that makes them a quintessential shoe for all seasons. They mold to your feet with a flexible upper and rubber soles that bend up to 90 degrees for all-day comfort. One Amazon shopper even admitted that these flats were so comfortable, they may have converted them into a full-time flats wearer. Available in over 30 unique colors and patterns—from bold reds to trendy leopard prints—there’s a pair for every outfit and mood. 

Babudog Mesh Foldable Loafers

These fully foldable loafers are a total steal for less than $30, and they’re as practical as they are stylish. The mesh upper has a subtle hint of sparkle that instantly elevates any travel outfit, while the supportive soles keep your feet comfortable all day. One Amazon reviewer raves, “I work 10-hour days on my feet in a medical setting. These shoes are so comfortable with nice cushion!” Travelers will also love how featherlight they are, weighing only 10 ounces per pair—making them a must-pack essential for any trip. 

Dream Pairs Elastic Ankle-strap Flats

Channel your inner ballerina with these chic ankle-strap flats. The crisscross elastic straps add a stylish, dance-inspired touch while keeping your feet secure and comfortable—perfect for anything from sightseeing to casual office days. One Amazon reviewer raved, “These are a must-have for comfy flats!” and noted that the straps don’t dig into your skin for an ideal fit around the ankle. With their sleek silhouette and cushioned sole, these flats are proof that you don’t have to choose between comfort and style. 

Cushionaire Hana Suede Clogs

The Y2K-inspired clog is officially back—and this suede version from Cushionaire proves why it never should’ve left. I own a pair myself and reach for them constantly for quick errands; they’re that easy and comfortable to slip on. Even my boyfriend wants a pair after seeing how versatile they are to style. Plus, since suede is such a big trend for fall, these shoes are the perfect way to incorporate it into your wardrobe without breaking the bank.

Shupua Pointed-toe Ballet Flats

These chic Shupua flats are the perfect mix of comfort and sophistication. The pointed toe instantly elevates any outfit—whether you’re dressing up for work or keeping it casual on the weekend—while the soft, flexible design helps keep your feet comfortable all day. One Amazon reviewer with wide feet shared that they fit perfectly, even on the first wear, and were surprisingly easy to clean. After wearing them to a muddy pumpkin patch, they simply rinsed them under running water, let them air dry, and they looked as good as new.
