What about metallic rothys? You can easily add inserts to these, that's why I like them. I agree with the others that it's hard to wear flats with cocktail dresses, but I also think we all just need to get used to that look. It's ok to not wear heels!

This! I love this idea.

That shoe is too casual, pls do not do this OP

Here's something I just stumbled across that could be cute. It's on sale and they have it in black patent leather, too.

Buy a pair of clip on rhinestone bows or some other dressy clip on.

Put the clips on your most comfy flat shoes and VOILA! you now have dressy flats.

Roger vivier has some really pretty flats that you could wear w/ a cocktail dress but they are pricey

I think fabric is easier to look dressy than leather for flats.

Another vote for Rodger Vivier. They are the only flats I wear asides from Ferragamos.

This is why women of a certain age often wear ultra dressy pants to big events (palazzo, sequins, etc) or floor length dresses to hide the flats.

Flats and a knee length dress announces that you teach preschool.

People have provided so many great options! I thoroughly enjoyed clicking on every link, even though I don’t need them.

OP idk if these would be too pointy or not supportive enough for you but I find that a "d'orsay" flat that dips between the toe and the heel works for me with shorter dresses. And then I can also use them for my preschool job, which is a bonus.

No suggestions, but I will say don't eliminate the pointy ones so quickly. A lot of the current pointy shoes are actually square right up to after the toe, and then the point is extended only after that. I can't wear anything but sneakers most of the time, but I've found that I can wear - for a single evening - many of the pointy flats that are out there now, as they no longer squish the toes.

This shoe showed up in an email from Bloomie's and I thought of you OP
