I'm Over Stilettos, so I'm Ditching These 7 Shoe Trends for the Sake of Comfort

@anoukyveI don't know what it is about me, but I sometimes hoard shoes that don't fit. "But they're so cute!!" I say while they sit on my shelf collecting dust. The schoolgirl in me is so here for a good pair of Mary Janes, and the pair in my collection right now actually fits. Their distinctive design is all about the rounded toe and straps across the top of the foot. While a lot of flats feel "cheugy" to me, this is a style I keep coming back to.

@deborabrosaI got an awful blister last summer from a pair of thin-strap sandals that I'm still mentally recovering from. I'm donating that pair and shopping flatforms instead. Flatforms are the perfect summer shoes that remind me of vacation but can also be worn in the city. Every European I know has a few pairs in their collection.
There's a reason fashion people love shoes that look like this.

@josefinehjI'm tired of wearing shoes that don't provide arch support. Sneakers have never failed me in that department, and I'm currently shopping retro styles. With classic designs from the '70s and '80s making a major comeback, brands such as Adidas and Gucci are creating styles that I want in my closet ASAP.
There's just something about a pair of Nikes that never fails to amaze me.

@sylviemus_Kitten heels have become the chicest alternative to stilettos, and somehow, they feel way more elevated. I love that they provide enough height to elongate the legs while still providing the support and stability that I need while living in New York City.

@cocobasseyYou can't go wrong with a good pair of leather slides. The classic Hermès style has been on my wish list for years because it's just so dang practical.

@alyssainthecityIf you're still in your Wednesday Addams era, a pair of chunky loafers might be the right move. Loafers have been a wardrobe staple for decades, so don't be afraid to invest in this "trend." The loafers in my collection are all the perfect width for my feet.

@sofiamcoelhoWhenever I know I'm going to be on my feet all day, I press pause on my favorite mules and immediately direct my attention to my collection of boots. This is definitely the easiest and most comfortable shoe style in my closet and an easy way to wear a high heel.
The platform will add just the right amount of height without sacrificing comfort.
