My spring capsule wardrobe is rooted in comfortable pieces like plush cotton T-shirts and relaxed wide-leg jeans that feel more like sweatpants. So, it should come as no surprise that I’m favoring chic ballet flats and loafers over my usual heels this season. As luck would have it, Nordstrom's Spring Sale has everything that I’m looking for.

From now until Monday, March 24, the beloved shopping destination is offering a range of markdowns on warm-weather shoe silhouettes. While perusing the retailer’s sale section, I stumbled upon a slew of flat styles under $100, like Sam Edelman’s Mary Janes for $65, Free People’s mesh flats for $59, and Franco Sarto’s loafers for $60. And of course, I found trendy boat shoes that I can wear all summer long.

If you’re also looking to anchor your spring outfits with a cute pair of flats, scroll on. Ahead, I’ve put together a curated list of 22 styles that are so comfy you’ll want to walk around in them all day long.
