I look at Nordstrom's shoe inventory basically every day. I know that might sound excessive, but as a Who What Wear editor, it's kind of my job. I'm constantly on the hunt for the best shoes on the internet to add to my stories, and I consistently find that many of those are on Nordstrom. So I think that makes me an expert, don't you? Currently, I'm setting my boots aside and focusing my shoe shopping on sandals and sneakers, of which the retailer has plenty.
The beauty of Nordstrom (well, it has many beauties) is that if you want super-affordable shoes, it has many options, and if you want investment-worthy designer shoes, it has lots of those, too. It's truly a one-stop shoe shop, and it also happens to be having a huge spring sale with current-season style up to 40% off. So scroll on for the sandals and sneakers I, your trusted Nordstrom shoe expert, highly recommend.
Sandals
These are my idea of the perfect easy summer heels, and I want them in every color.
