’Tis the season for some fabulous shoes. When I’m pining for quality boots or perhaps some lovely flats, the Nordstrom shoe department is one destination that won’t let me down. Much like Carrie Bradshaw, I'm obsessed with quality footwear. Shoes, in my humble opinion, are the most important part of an outfit. An ensemble without fabulous footwear is like a pie without a scrumptious crust, both are imperative to the final product.
First up on my wish list are, of course, boots, as they're a winter essential. With an array of boot trends to choose from this winter, keeping an eye out for a new pair is at the top of the list. I'm also on the look out for flats. And with ballet flats reigning supreme in this season's trend cycle, now's the perfect time to look for your dream pair. Pumps are a classic, and last on my list is sneakers, which are undoubtedly a crucial part of any shoe collection, as they provide an ample amount of comfort and an easy-going finish to any outfit.
A quick perusal of my shoe closet proves that I'm in desperate need of a shopping trip, so I might just find myself at Nordstom eyeing these 30 pairs. Below, you'll find a selection of boots, flats, sneakers, and pumps that may inspire a shopping frenzy.
Boots
In a word: sleek.
A shoe roundup isn't complete without Jeffrey Campbell. These modish square-toed booties are perfect for a casual daytime look.
These ranch-style cowboy boots give us the western flair we crave.

Doc Martens are a cult favorite; of course I had to add them.
"Breath-taking" would be the only way to describe these distressed brown tapered-heel booties.
Talk about elevated; these chic Sarto boots are categorically excellent.

Okay, listen, a little black dress, sheer tights, and these shoes—*chefs kiss*.

Sneakers
I'm quite petite, so I wouldn't mind a platform sneaker.
Retro alert!
Another cult classic.
I've fallen in love with Tory Burch's take on low-top sneakers. I would wear these with low-rise baggy jeans and a cashmere sweater.
Okay, Tory Burch, you've done it again. I might get these too.
Pumps
The vintage energy is coming in hot.
I've been dying for a pair of loafer pumps, this may just be the pair to grab.
You can't beat that price.
Speaking of loafer pumps, I'll snag these as well.
