Call me an enabler, but I believe you can never have too many pairs of shoes. There's always room for one more pair, especially when the new arrivals are this good. And I mean really good. The newest shoes at Zara, Reformation, H&M, and a handful of other brands are giving me plenty of reasons to make yet another shoe purchase this season. From affordable finds that look far more expensive than their price tags to the kind of pretty pairs that can instantly change the feel of an outfit, there are some particularly good options worth knowing about right now.

I went through the new arrivals at my favorite retailers and pulled out the pairs that caught my eye. Whether you're looking for something to wear on New Year's Eve, an Olivia Rodrigo concert, or a family holiday dinner, these are the shoes I'd put at the top of my shopping list.
