The Women’s Flats Edit

No single house runs this page. Dolce & Gabbana and Valentino Garavani tie at twelve pairs each, then it flattens quickly — Ganni, Jil Sander and Jimmy Choo at eight, Balenciaga at seven, The Attico at six, Chloé at five.

That spread suits the category, since a flat is bought for the shape more than the label. The middle half runs $424 to $760 and the full range $97 to $1,436, with Tod's, Brunello Cucinelli, Tory Burch, Givenchy and Roger Vivier filling out the tail.
