There’s no question that spending the day in flats is more comfortable than wearing stilettos around town. That’s true all year long, but in summer – when days are spent having fun in the sun – comfort matters more than ever.
While flip flops certainly get their share of the summer shoe love, they – in spite of their fan following – simply aren’t a great fit for comfortable, fashion-forward streetwear. As such, flats are unequivocally the official shoes of summer. The solution? Ballet flats and, more specifically, Tieks. CEO Kfir Gavrieli’s direct-to-consumer brand is one of the few that marries style and comfort, perfect for wearing all day long.

How Tieks Deliver Next-Level Elegance with Ease
Ballet flats have been a wardrobe staple for years. But some brands fail to prioritize comfort, leaving us with shoes that rub at our heels, causing blisters to pop up within minutes. Others figure out the comfort piece, only to construct a shoe that’s boring and blends into the background. This is not the case with Tieks: thanks to their Italian leather construction and a sea of bright color options, along with a variety of patterns, prints, finishes and embellishments, these ballet flats look as good on the street as they feel on your feet. They’re one of the few styles of summer shoes that you can wear from morning ‘til night, without regret.
While sneakers aren’t an appropriate shoe choice for most offices, the ballet flat is comfortable enough to wear all day but formal enough to work with nearly every business dress code. Tieks are crafted from soft Italian leather and constructed with foam cushioning in every pair.
Even better? Along with their comfort, style, and chic teal soles, these ballet flats are known for their foldable design. And herein lies the next reason why Tieks are made for long summer days. After all, if you’re heading to the beach, you’ll want some flip flops on your feet. But if you want to go from the surf to a surf-and-turf dinner, a quick shoe change is probably in order. The solution? Fold up your Tieks and stick them in your beach bag for a seamless day-to-night transition. Or better yet, pack your flats in the unique carrying case that ships with each pair of Tieks. That way, you won’t worry about sand or water messing with your kicks before you’re ready to slip them on.
