I have ruined at least four pairs of shoes in the past two weeks. I try to be careful, but from stepping into a puddle of water over my ankles (my car broke down and I didn't have a choice), getting caught in sudden downpour of very cold rain, and others suddenly developed holes. I also broke a heel walking down the hall of my office last week. I just can't win. I've always been hard on shoes so I've never liked spending a lot of money on them. If I destroy a pair of $50 flats, I don't feel too bad. If I had destroyed a pair of $150 flats, I'd hate myself.
Here are some of my absolute favorites that I've been drooling over.
I can vouch for the comfort and quality of Tommy Hilfger's shoes. I have an adorable pair of pink colorblock penny loafers that I can't wait to pull back out come spring. Land's End also makes good, comfortable shoes. The Cole Haan shoes are made with Nike Air technology and I've heard nothing but pheonmenal reviews. J.Crew Factory can be a bit tricky in their listings. Make sure the shoes are real leather, I bought several pairs of flats that I thought were leather but ended up being polyurathane and didn't last six months. Had I bought the red pair instead of the black, they would have been real leather. That was a frustrating experience.
There are some really nice options out there in the under $100 price range and you don't have to look too hard. I saved you some time and found some of the best:
I was just in the market for some work shoes! So glad to see this post.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone is looking for work shoes. My mom was talking about shoe shopping last week, my boss mentioned needed new heels this morning, and one of my work clients just said she needed new shoes as well.
