Heels are cute and all, but sometimes, you just have to give your feet a rest and slip into a comfy pair of flats [1]. No one knows this better than Meghan Markle [2], who just wrapped up a whirlwind tour that spanned 16 days [3] and featured more outfit changes than we can even comprehend [4]. Early on in her travels with Prince Harry, the mom-to-be made us scream "hell yes!" when she wore the same pair of $145 Rothy's flats [5] not once, but twice in the span of two days, so it was only fitting that she opted for sensible shoes yet again on the final day of her tour [6].
While visiting the Redwoods Tree Walk in New Zealand, the Duchess of Sussex changed out of the pleated skirt and Manolo Blahnik suede pumps [7] she wore earlier in the day in favour of Prince Harry's puffer jacket [8] (aww!), black skinny jeans, and practical flats from San Francisco-based brand Birdies [9]. The footwear company refers to its shoes as "the stylish flat that's secretly a slipper," so no wonder Meghan saved them for the last leg of her endless journey.
Her classic black flats have quilted insoles and quite the reasonable price tag, ringing up at just $120. Plus, they're still in stock online — score! Ahead, admire Meghan's sensible footwear, and keep reading to shop her exact flats and other similarly comfortable styles.
