Katie Holmes’s Franco Sarto Flats Are on Sale, Per an Editor

I’ve been a self-proclaimed sneaker snob for as long as I can remember; what’s not to like about pillow-like shoes that keep your style on point? But everything changed when I met the Franco Sarto Tinsley Mary Jane Flat. It’s not that I’ve fallen out of love with tennis shoes, but there’s something undeniably chic about a strappy flat—especially one that delivers comfort without sacrificing style. And they are on sale for as low as $56 during the exclusive InStyle InSider Sale with the use of the code FRANCOSARTO30—but I’d act fast, since the sale ends May 3 at 11:59 p.m. EST.

I’ve waxed poetic about the adorable shoes before, calling on their square-toe charm to elevate my most stylish outfits since they launched. But the obsession reached new heights when Katie Holmes stepped out in the metallic silver style, pairing the staple shoes with skinny jeans (gasp!), a lace blouse, and a little black bag. So, what’s all the hype about, you may ask? It’s all in the details.

Franco Sarto Tinsley Mary Jane Flat

The flats come in sizes five to 13 and a variety of colors, prints, and textures. The sleek silhouette boasts a stacked walkable heel, adjustable strap, and elegant buckle detail. Though, the plush cushioned sole has got to be my favorite part.

Whether I’m running to catch the NYC subway, dodging spring rain, or waltzing into a fancy-schmancy dinner, the Tinsley Mary Janes are down-right comfortable. They’re light on my feet while feeling secure and snug with or without socks. Best of all, the style has never given me blisters, even after walking for more than 10 hours—and that’s saying something.

But you don’t have to be a fashion editor (that’s me!) or a Hollywood starlet to rock this preppy and sophisticated silhouette. I like to lean into Meghan Markle style by reaching for a pair of leg-elongating jeans, though a midi skirt would be perfect for the hotter months ahead. As for tops, throw on a button-down shirt to nail the workwear-to-happy-hour aesthetic, or consider a satin spaghetti strap blouse for a sexier approach. The secret is to not overthink it, knowing they easily stand in the place of sandals, sneakers, and heels.

With a secret 30 percent off sale happening for just a few more hours, I doubt these Katie Holmes-worn Mary Janes will stay in stock for long, so snag your favorite style before choice items wear thin—or they jump back up to full price.
