flatties
Shoes without heels
Flatties are flat-heeled shoes, typically women's ballet flats or similar footwear without elevated heels: I wore flatties to the wedding because I knew I'd be dancing all night.
The term is casual and affectionate, often used when contrasting with heels.
In some contexts, flatties refers disparagingly to small-breasted women.
