This limited-edition silhouette updated the original Goldenstar with UGG’s braided heel strap—a stylish twist that’s already trending. I recommend sizing up at least half a size for everyday socks or thicker layers—these do run small compared to UGG ...

Love Franco Sarto - they last for multiple seasons and a ton of wear from my experience with other shoes I own from them. They can be on the pricier side, but if you know it's a style you love and personally find timeless, they are a good mid level i...

A vegan leather boot that would compliment a ton of outfits. Classic silhouette that you really can't go wrong with. If you aren't looking to break the bank, this is a solid choice price wise and seems to get put on sale regularly

The khaki color goes hard and you can't convince me different. This boot will standout no matter which color but I think the khaki is so unexpected.

Here is an affordable option for the trendy girlies. They may not be the “it” shoe next season, but they are priced accordingly so you don't feel bad if you only get a couple of solid uses out of them. The foldover detail isn't for everyone and I thi...

He makes shoes for the girlies - enough said. But seriously these are most likely going to be my next purchase. My Chelsea boots from last fall cracked at the sole and I am in desperate need before autumn hits. I mayyyyyy wind up with both the black ...

I also really like these from Sam Edelman and we know the quality will be there. I also really like that the loop detail is on the front and the back. Not something I thought about, but I do think it ties it together nicely.

Although the shape and the heel are *chef's kiss* I wish they were in black. I may just need to do a little exploring on the website, but saw these on Pinterest and were immediately drawn to them.

Looking for a shoe with some more detail? I love the metal ring against the suede. A really cute mix, especially with a cropped jean or skirt.

Now it would not be a millenial made list wthout a Jeffrey Campbell shoe somewhere on the list…maybe a few honestly. From the Lolitas to now I will be a stan of Jeffrey Campbell forever. They aren't always practical but they are stunning, well made a...

Wide Calf Boots

Say goodbye to the struggle—wide calf boots deliver comfort, fit, and style in one. These picks are perfect for layering over jeans or pairing with dresses without sacrificing ease of wear.
 
Valerie Price profile picture
These are the kind of wide calf boots that actually make me want to wear tall boots again. The chocolate leather is so good, and the shape feels elevated without being overdone. I love that they look like they’d work with everything—chunky knits, swe...

The rich cabernet red leather is so luxe, and the pointed toe adds just the right amount of edge. The wide calf fit is a game-changer—no more squeezing into boots that don't fit and praying the zipper doesn't break or pinch your leg.

A handful of colors and finishes to choose from these are the staple investment pair for sure. I have seen them everywhere and they sell out all the time. This boot gives the loose fit look for the wide calf girls.

Sold out last year but they are back and on sale! I’ve been eyeing these knee-high, wide-leg boots it’s that perfect mix of edge and elegance. These give everything from midi dresses to tailored trousers a sculptural lift.

Flats

Effortless and versatile, flats are the go-to for days you want style without the heels. From classic ballet shapes to modern Mary Jane’s, these picks keep you polished and comfortable all season.

These are not your average ballet flats. The mirrored leather makes them feel elevated and cool, while the Mary Jane-style strap keeps them secure (and kind of adorable, honestly). I love that they slip on like mules but still feel polished enough to...

I’m obsessed with these dreamy Sézane Matilda ballerinas. The suede goatskin is soft and flexible so they break in instantly (hello, sockless comfort). A little pricy imo but potentially worth the investment if they hold up. Still doing some research...

I've been gravitating toward flats that feel sharp but effortless—and the Schutz Violetta Sculpt checks all the boxes. The pointed toe and subtle bow give just enough polish without looking stuffy, and the slingback strap makes them feel breezy and e...

Now this will definitely be a shoe that I need to try before I buy. I have wider feet and I don’t love when you can see my “toe cleavage.” Although I’m sure they will be just fine in person. This will have to be a try on for sure.

Leopard is going no where, so if you’re looking for a little pop of it in your outfit rotation these flats are the perfect addition. A more fun shoe but still practical and something that you will reach for again and again.

Stunningly simple, effortlessly stylish. These are surprisingly on my wishlist. A little out of the ordinary for me but I think they would be a more practical fun pair of shoes for the colder months.

The Adidas Tokyo strikes the perfect balance between retro charm and modern minimalism. The silver colorway is a show stopper if you are one for a standout shoe choice. I would personally be leaning towards a classic black and white I think but the s...

hese might just be the coolest shoes I’ve added to this list. The Speedcat OG Ballets feel like if a race car driver and a ballerina designed a sneaker together—in the best way. A little more adventurous than the Speedcat OG but either way you can't ...

The ultimate dad sneaker. I love the linen color way and the sea salt color way as well. They can definitely stand out with a monochrome outfit and a cute trench coat for the fall.
