Let's face it: if you are wrangling kids all day (even if it's not every day) you need great flat shoes, the kind that you can walk a thousand miles in, and that let you run or climb when necessary. Instead of opting for flip flops or Crocs because they're easy, choose a flat with some style and panache, and give your kid-wrangling duds a little bit of style.

When you are shopping for a flat, look for a sturdy sole, something that's not slippery; look for a toe box that is wide enough to accommodate your foot comfortably; look for a cushioned insole to keep your legs happy. When you shop for lower end shoes, think about buying one size up and adding a gel insert, to keep feet and legs from getting worn out mid day.

Look for color and details, too, because your shoes should be part of your whole look, not just something you toss on as you leave the house.

Here are five great flats for late summer and early fall. Put those Crocs away and put on some pretty shoes.
