These boots (and flats, and heels, and sandals) were made for walkin'. 1. A pair of Crocs Brooklyn Low Wedges with a fun lil' platform for going on brunch dates, strolling around the farmers market, or even posing for upcoming graduation photos. 2. A pair of classic ballet flats because you want to relive your mid-2000s glory days when you didn't have to worry about rent, doing your taxes, or mindlessly scrolling through dating apps (I'm fine). Nordstrom Rack Promising review:"The shoe is very soft and hugs your feet; I won't buy shoes unless they're comfortable with little to no break-in period. Think I might get the red pair as well. It's a sweet classic ballet flat that isn't too trendy." — Jackie 3. A pair of pointed-toe mules that will elevate any outfit while not killing your feet in the process. These are ideal for peeps who want to dress up but might have some high-heel aversions (read: me). Nordstrom Rack 4. A pair of waterproof Chelsea rainboots because we're not gonna let a little rain stop us from getting out of the house when those April showers hit (that will allegedly bring May flowers). Nordstrom Rack Promising review: " These boots are fantastic! They fit true to size and are amazing! I bought them a little unsure of what to expect, but they are fantastic for the price. I have gotten so many compliments on them. They are snug to get on, but I just pull on the back tab, and they fit like a glove." — kittlesX 5. An adorable slingback kitten heel if you want a little bit of extra height, but not something tall enough that might make you trip and twist your ankle. Nordstrom Rack Promising review:"So cute and stylish! Matches everything and is simple and chic. There is a gold buckle on the strap, which is a nice touch." — Kris1082 6. A pair of shiny loafers that ooze ~cool vibes~ and are perfect for making a big presentation at work, then wearing out on a date straight after work. Nordstrom Rack 7. A Brooks Trail Running Shoe made with lightweight foam for plenty of support while you're running a 5K or even just walking the dog. These are great for taking care of your joints while you're active! Nordstrom Rack 8. A pair of flip-flops with skinny straps for living that beach lifestyle, even if you're stuck on your couch working from home. A gal can dream, right? 9. Or a pair of Crocs two-strap slides with a lightweight and flexible sole if you're looking for a nonfussy poolside go-to sandal for spring and summer. 10. A pair of platform Converse high-tops to take your style to ~new heights~ for when you want something that's super comfortable and reliable but also trendy and stylish. 11. A pair of slingback platform sandals if you basically live in black boots during the colder months and want a similar ~vibe~ without the sweaty footsies. Nordstrom Rack Promising review:"I have been searching for the perfect summer platforms with a strap that I can use for work or on weekends. These were comfortable right out of the box! They appear to have a slight heel, which I like, rather than a completely flat platform; it adds some character. I appreciate that the soles of the shoe are quite rugged (Sorel style) so as to not slide everywhere." — Promisinggalaktic 12. A Merrell hiking boot for hitting up any trails or national parks this spring, and since they're topped with waterproof suede, you can pretty much wear them year-round. They'll provide plenty of support, so even after a long 15-mile day on the mountain, your joints won't be (too) sore. 13. A pair of Dansko professional clogs with a memory foam footbed beloved by healthcare workers to provide plenty of support while you're out and about. These comfy gals will keep your dogs from barkin' after long hours on your feet! Nordstrom Rack Promising review:"Working in a dental office during the COVID pandemic, I wanted a shoe that I could wipe down with a disinfecting wipe and one that I could take off and on without needing to touch the shoe. These clogs fit all my criteria, and they are super comfortable. There is a reason they are a top choice for nurses." — Karin Von 15. A timeless Puma sneaker with a little bit of a platform for an everyday shoe you can throw on when you're putting an array of different styles of outfits together (like the reviewer mentions below).

I've worn them with sundresses, shorts, pants, sweats, and skirts, and I've gotten nothing but compliments!" — LannaG 16.

A pair of hot pink oxfords if you want to add a splash of vibrant color (while still looking profesh, of course) to your outfit and garner tons of compliments wherever you go. 18. Or a pair of platform oxford sneaker hybrids with some sneaky and subtle gold detailing around the heel and on the tongue, so you can dress up your outfit just a little bit while still feeling super comfortable. 19. A pair of cozy fuzzy slippers to keep your feet plush while you're hanging on the couch all day and watching your favorite comfort show for the hundredth time. Nordstrom Rack 20.

You can dress it up or down, and it looks very good with bell bottoms.❤️❤️" — Baby Kapp 24. A pair of simple yet ridiculously spiffy lace-up oxfords because you really can't go wrong with a classic like these. Plus, the stitching and oversized toe-box give them a modern 2025 update! 25. A retro and stylish pair of block-heel slide sandals if you want to add a little extra ~oomph~ to your look and be ready for any impromptu photo ops that may come your way.
