Time to get a bigger shoe rack.
Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A cute pair of waterproof Sorel sneakers you can wear all year round because you won't have to worry about ruining them in inclement weather.
2. A pair of lug sole Ariat boots because everyone needs a good pair of Chelsea boots, and this one has an extra chunky sole to add some edge to your look.
Nordstrom
3. A Steve Madden bootie to instantly elevate your outfit while keeping your toes warm. They come in leather or suede options and have a side zipper, so getting them on and off is a breeze (especially when you're in a rush).
Nordstrom
Promising review:"Very comfortable and true to size! I've always been a sneaker girl and bought these because I needed them for an occasion. I didn't expect that I would love them; they are very comfortable and perfect for wide-leg pants. Just perfect!" — Sneaker girlie
4. A pair of Sam Edelman slingbacks with a kitten heel so you can dress up your feet without the pain that comes with overly high heels. The adjustable strap will also make sure they stay on your feet as you tear up the dance floor.
Nordstrom
5. A pair of Adidas Samba OG sneakers that are ready to help you take on your day — whether you're kicking a soccer ball around with the kids or running a thousand errands.
6. A Sam Edelman pump because you won't regret having a pair of reliable (and comfortable) stilettos in your closet for those random special occasions, weddings you forgot about, and work functions you never want to go to.
Nordstrom
Promising review:"My second pair! I wore these until they fell apart (quite some years). They're super comfortable and have a little bit of give to fit your foot." — JAMcI
7. A pair of Sorel waterproof boots that are ready to accompany you on any adventure — regardless of whether it's gallivanting in the city or hiking up a mountain. They're also understated enough to wear out to dinner or to a concert.
Nordstrom
Promising review:"It's hard for me to find boots that fit and are not cheap. These fit the bill. They're cute, comfortable, and functional. I got the black ones and intend to get another color. Don't hesitate!" — SoCalReviewer
8. A Dolce Vita pointed-toe boot that challenges the idea of waterproof boots not being fashionable — these are most definitely both. Plus, you can easily pull them on as you're jetting out the door, making them that much more convenient.
Nordstrom
Promising review:"Love this bootie. I have them in all three colors. Perfect for Idaho winter as they are waterproof. Very comfortable and on-trend." — Amymarie
9. A pair of Sam Edelman loafers for anyone who loves flats and needs a break from their usual pair of tennis shoes. In these, you'll look like a quiet luxury-type person who summers in the Hamptons (even if you've never been there).
10. A Vionic platform wedge bootie that has arch support built in, so they are really made for walking, just like Nancy Sinatra says. They've got a side zipper and a rear pull tab, so you won't have to struggle to get them on or off, either.
Nordstrom
Promising review:"As a person with troubled feet, I am so happy that I discovered Vionic footwear! I love these booties; they're stylish and comfy, and the built-in arch support makes my mornings easier without having to put my orthotics in them!" — A Rob
11. A square-toe Franco Sarto boot that is as stylish as it is smart. That's because the insole is more flexible than your average boot, so they move with your feet instead of against them, and have a shorter break-in period, ~to boot.~
Nordstrom
Promising review:"Excellent boots! Comfortable, great-looking, and well made. I have very wide, flat feet and I have no issues in these." — Elizabeth R.
12. A pair of Sam Edelman knee-high boots that will most definitely turn heads when you wear them. They're dramatic, sleek, and will make you look like you just strutted off the runway.
Nordstrom
Promising review:"I wore these to a work event and was surprised at how comfortable they were. I got so many compliments! I paired them with a skirt, sweater, and tights. Great purchase!" — lvn3kids
13. A Vionic cap-toe flat that is a nice balance between a minimalist ballet silhouette and just a touch of flair on the toe with its bow and keyhole cutout.
Nordstrom
14. A pair of New Balance sneakers that have a retro vibe but a modern fit. They'll be your go-to kicks on days when you want to feel comfortable and look casual but not boring.
Nordstrom
15. A pair of Olukai convertible sneakers that work smarter and not harder. The back folds down *on purpose* so you can easily slip into them for those rough days when even having to retie your laces is too much effort.

Promising review:"I wanted a beyond comfortable yet super cute white sneaker, and this is it. Like walking on clouds right out of the box — no socks needed. Wear with dresses or jeans or shorts. Great lightweight, versatile travel shoe." — Gretagoose
16. A pair of timeless Converse Chuck Taylor All Star high tops that are a classic for a reason — but these have a modern twist with their 1-inch platform. They go with jeans, dresses, joggers, and pretty much anything in your closet.
Nordstrom
17. A pair of leather Lucky ankle boots that will be perfect on days when you want to wear a boot but want something understated. These will carry you through many seasons, occasions, and good times.
Nordstrom
Promising review:"I have purchased at least three pairs of these booties over the years. I have a size 11 foot that runs wide and needs a slight heel and wide-toe box, which makes finding nice shoes hard. I have purchased the M width, and they have stretched well without giving me blisters. These leather booties fit like a glove and are the perfect pair for traveling. I have walked 10K+ steps a day in them in cities around the world. They can be more comfortable than sneakers, especially on planes." — FrSeed2Stomach
19. A pair of patent leather Franco Sarto platform penny loafers that have a timeless appeal and are versatile enough to be dressed up or down. These would look especially cute with some fleece-lined tights and a corduroy pinafore dress.
Nordstrom
20. A pair of Mary Jane flats that have a square toe and come in lots of fun colors and patterns (exhibit A: leopard print) and are basically the cooler, grownup version of the ones you wore as a kid.
Nordstrom
Promising review:"Cute and comfortable shoe. Perfect for when you don't want to wear heels but still want to look polished. It fits true to size, but I went half a size up, and I was glad I did. I stood for hours, and my feet were fine. I can also wear them with socks." — RoseX3
21. A pair of Sam Edelman mules you can slide your feet into when you're tired of wearing heels or tying laces. They look effortlessly chic and would be just as cute paired with socks or tights in the colder seasons.
Nordstrom
22. A pair of pointed-toe flats with a dipped toe line so they stand out from your other regular ol' flats. They also have a cushioned footbed, so you can wear them all day (and all night!) long.
Nordstrom
23. A simple, elegant ankle strap sandal that is surprisingly comfy thanks to its block heel and lightly padded footbed. You can take them out on the town, walking *or* dancing, and your feet might not hate you at the end of the night for once.
Nordstrom
Promising review:"These are the best dress shoes I have ever owned. I wore them to a wedding for 8+ hours and danced all night with no sore feet or blisters." — Heart82381
Price: $83.95+ (available in sizes 5–12 and eight colors)
24. A pair of water-resistant, knee-high boots so you can walk through a few extra puddles without your feet or pant hems paying the price. They also have a full-length zipper to prevent you from having to wrestle them just to get them on when you're already late for your date.
Nordstrom
Promising review:"These boots feel like the unicorn of boots. They are chic, they fit my wider calf and they feel true to size. There was no break-in period required; they fit like a glove from the jump." — Happy Shopper 26
Price: $239 (available in sizes 6–11 and four colors)
25. A Cole Haan wedge boot because is there really such a thing as having too many black boots? This pair has a chunky wedge heel and is made of waterproof leather, so your feet will feel stable and dry as you tromp through the park on your daily hot girl walk.
Nordstrom
Promising review:"These boots are both stylish and comfortable! Every time I wear them, I receive compliments, which makes me love them even more. They're perfect for any occasion, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for the perfect blend of fashion and comfort." — Suella Montagu
Price: $88+ (originally $220, available in sizes 5–11 and two colors)
26. A pair of classic scrunched ballet flats that hug your feet thanks to the elasticized top. You can also toss these into your bag if you need to do a quick footwear change before your walk home after a long night of wearing heels at the bar.
Nordstrom
Promising review:"Comfy, well-made ballet flats. I've bought these in several colors." — MireilleF
Price: $59 (available in sizes 5–12 and five colors)
27. And a pair of Minnetonka moccasin-style slippers with a cozy faux-shearling lining, suede upper, and rubber sole, so they can transition from inside to outside when you finally leave the house to grab the mail.
Nordstrom
Promising review:"These shoes are amazing! I walked around outside all day in them yesterday (30,000 steps!) and my feet felt like they were on clouds the whole time! Love these cute and comfy moccasins!" — Red526
Price: $54.95 (available in sizes 5–11 and seven colors)
