I Combed Through All the Shoes at Mango, Zara, and Shopbop--These 25 Are So Good

by Adrienne Faurote

When it comes to shoe shopping, I have go-to sites that I just know will have the exact shoes I am looking to buy. I am a somewhat picky shoe-shopper (I love shoes and build most of my outfits around my shoe choice), and I have strict guidelines for where I buy them. To pass my shoe shopping test, the shopping destination must have on-trend silhouettes, affordable finds, and a wide range of options. Therefore, my top three retailers that check all of my boxes and continually revisit for shoes are our favorites—Zara, Mango, and Shopbop.

From chunky Chelsea boots and slouchy knee-highs to embellished mules and house sandals, I’ve officially found the 25 best shoes on Zara, Mango, and Shopbop to buy now. Whether you’re looking for shoes to complete your at-home, elevated loungewear looks or buying shoes with escapism or future travel in mind; there is a shoe on these sites for you. Or, if you’re like me and just find pure comfort in buying new shoes (hello, retail therapy), then you will take great pleasure in scrolling through my finds. Ahead, discover the best shoes to buy on the three most reliable shopping retailers right now—and if you’re debating on whether you should buy them or not, I say yes—no regrets!

Obsessed with this added chain detail; it gives your mundane knee-high boots the refresh they needed this season.
