We’re convinced that the best nights out start off with a pair of happy feet. And cutting the evening short after only a few hours (at that!) in sky-high heels is what really should be called the walk of shame. So, instead of falling victim to the excruciating pedi-pain that pumps are destined to supply, we suggest slipping into a pair of luxe, evening-appropriate flats to keep you on your feet — no matter how many party-hopping stops or hills happen to be on the agenda.

From sparkle-coated slippers and velvety loafers to romantic lace stunners and high-shine show-stoppers, our roundup is flat-out glamorous. Peruse through our selection of glitzy heel-less beauts after the jump and kick blister-making shoes to the curb.
