6 Shoes You Should Stop Wearing in the Winter

We do some pretty peculiar things for the sake of fashion. Waiting outside H&M for hours to snag the latest designer collaboration, paying over $1000 for a pair of Yeezys, or even spending way too much time pinning outfits we may never actually wear. However, when it comes to staying warm in the wintertime, that’s where we draw the line. Thankfully, bundling up can be a stylish affair full of amazing coats, cozy knits, and seasonal footwear. That being said, there are a few items in our closets that we think are more sensibly reserved for the warmer months of the year. Today we’re focusing on shoes because keeping your feet toasty is the key to overcoming even the chilliest of temperatures.

Scroll down to see six shoe styles we think you should avoid during winter unless you agree to wear them with socks or thick tights. We just want to keep you warm, friends.

This one is easy—simply wear traditional loafers to get the same polished effect.

If you like espadrilles, you're probably drawn to earthy textures. Why not experiment with wood? 

Mules offer that outside-the-norm kind of silhouette, so get your fix with a pair of widow's-peak pumps.

Get the same pizzazz from your footwear without subjecting your toes to the snow. Festively embellished heels should do the trick.

One of the best aspects of slides is the ease of getting them on and off. Try a pair of slippers for a comparable effect.

As temps get cooler, swap out your slingbacks for warmer ankle boots instead—the perfect shoes to wear with your skinny jeans this cold-weather season.
