I Keep These Ultra-Comfy, $17 Foldable Flats in My Purse

High heels may seem like a good idea for a night out, but once walking and dancing get added to the mix, your poor feet will be screaming for mercy. As someone whose feet don’t have much of an arch, wearing heels after a few hours can become pretty painful. I have a strict ‘no walking around barefoot’ rule, but I've found the trick to sparing my arches: Carrying a pair of the $17 Silky Toes Foldable Flats in my purse at all times. 

Silky Toes Foldable Flats are rollable, compact flats that can easily fit in your purse for footwear emergencies on the go. Sold in 44 color options and sizes small through XXL, the flats feature a lightly padded sole for added cushion and support and an elastic backing that expands to the shape of your foot while in use, but shrinks down when stored away. They come with a 4-inch drawstring pouch for easy toting to avoid dirtying your bag, plus a pair of lace no-show socks.

I most often find myself utilizing these compact flats during my commute to and from work on the subway, swapping them for my work shoes once I make it into the office, but they’ve also saved my feet on countless nights out. Doing this saves me time since I can walk quicker in my flats and feel more comfortable because I can keep my flat feet firmly planted on the ground.

But don’t take my word for it — the foldable flats have nearly 10,000 five-star ratings on Amazon. One wedding-goer said the “compact” flats "fit perfectly" in their clutch. Another reviewer called the shoes one of their "best life decisions," while a final shopper — who recommended sizing up — noted that they remained “comfortable throughout the night."

While Silky Toes will always have a place in my bag, I sometimes swap them for the pointed-toe version on nights when I want a more polished and chic look without sacrificing comfort. Whichever style you prefer, I promise you won't regret giving this genius style hack a try.
