Birdies just released a brand new collection of adorable ballet flats for spring and they may just be the comfiest design we’ve ever seen. Available in four luxe-looking colorways, the affordable and highly supportive Birdies Hummingbird Flats are bound to be your best friend as you transition from winter to warm-weather styling, and these flats are perfectly primed for work and play.
The brand’s comfortable flats for women have been seen on Meghan Markle, Anne Hathaway, and Emma Roberts, and we expect there’s more celebrity sightings in store with Birdies’ newest flat silhouette. The new supportive ballet flats features special “Barefoot Ballerina” technology, which teams a supple, leather-lined footbed with built-in arch support. With options between premium Nappa glove leather or soft suede, the shoe structure is made to grow more comfortable with ever wear, while its round toe box removes the risk of constriction and blistering (as compared to flats with pointed toes). Typical ballet flats have a reputation of lacking proper cushioning and support, but the Hummingbird promises a whopping seven layers of “cloud-like comfort” for when you need shoes for standing all day. We expect them to feel like heaven from hours at the office to a night out on the town.
The Hummingbird ballet flats also feature a non-slip rubber heel, which provides excellent traction on tiles, sidewalks, and slick surfaces alike, and stands at a super minimal eight millimeter height. Its plush and quilted footbed offers essential support and paint relief for common foot concerns like plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, or Osteoarthritis, while its complete arch support is ideal for those with flat feet and achilles tendonitis, who may find it difficult to find a reliably comfortable pair of flats.

As part of Birdies’ 2024 spring collection, the innovative ballet flat comes in two chic stylings: A simple luster-finish leather shoe topped with a sweet bow, as well as sophisticated suede options, adorned with 12 unique marble stones. The neutral Noir Leather colorway stands out as an ideal shoe for office-appropriate ensembles, alongside crisp trousers and a transitional sweater, while the brassy, Vintage Gold Leather finish will add fanciful flair to daily denim or an easy-breezy sundress once the weather turns warm.
