I'm here today to discuss one of my favorite topics: shoes.
Now, I look at a lot of fashion and accessories every day (like a lot), but my category of choice is footwear. Whether we're talking gorgeous knee-high boots, sumptuous suede flats, croc-embossed loafers, or the latest cool-girl sneaker, my answer is always an enthusiastic yes. Nothing makes my heart beat faster than a great shoe.
Since we're at the start of a new year, I took it upon myself to scroll Nordstrom's entire shoe section and put together a list of the most noteworthy styles—in case you're doing a 2026 closet refresh, or you simply love looking at beautiful things like I do.
My list includes highlights like leather Khaite boots, lizard-embossed Toteme slingbacks, suede Tony Bianco pumps, and woven Madewell flats. I included a range of styles, brands, and price points so there's really something for everyone, no matter your budget. Ready for the list? Below are the 35 most fashionable shoes at Nordstrom—enjoy!
