Anything but basic. Whether you’re looking to add texture, color, or interesting shapes to your shoe collection, I’ve curated a list of brands that make shoes ranging from unique to truly freaky. If you’re into that.
Really interesting, well designed
Maguire Shoes
While new are cool, even better are all the vintage shoes on eBay!
Sergio Rossi
Excellent designs with unique textures and application of color
HVÓYA
Cool interesting sneakers
US domestic shipping only - MOONSTAR USA
Insanely cool boots, really high quality. Not inexpensive though but they’re so cool
Women's Boots
I’d be remiss to skip Margiela on this list even though there are many other brands that make tabis!
Women's Tabi Shoes
Again there are tons of past season Dries shoes on the secondhand market!
Dries van Noton Shoes
Great prices for interesting shoes. Just pay attention as many won’t be leather.
Circus By Sam Edelman
There’s nothing else like these. They’re really well made.
Charlotte Stone
Classics with a twist. These are walking shoes 100%!
Loafers for Women - Autumn / Winter
These are soooo good the green deer print flat is on my holiday list! Cool heel details and toe shapes are featured as well.
Sadi Studios
I’d be remiss if I didn’t include John Fluevog. Tons of styles are available on eBay!
Fluevog Shoes
Can’t leave off the five finger (toe?) shoe everyone loves to hate!
Vibram
For when you want a beautiful shoe that’s a little different!
