This holiday season, there’s good reason to avoid the usual party heel conundrum, where you head out the door in your sky-high, likely bedazzled stilettos… only to spend the rest of the night looking for opportunities to sit or swapping your footwear a few hours into the outing, questioning why you even bothered in the first place. No offense to four-inch heels, but you don’t need extra height to nail festive dressing this year. Instead, go for a party-ready flat decked with all the sparkle and shine you need to get in the holiday spirit. You may think of these shoes as the ones you change into post-party, but this season’s selection will make you reconsider—from velvet-laced sneakers to rhinestone-embellished slip-ons. Choose any of these 22 flats to wear out for the holidays or on NYE, confident that you’ll keep them on for the whole night.
