Ahead, you can find the designers they swear by for their footwear purchases and their picks for the season ahead.

"Ever since I got to see their shoes up close and personal during Paris Fashion Week, I've been smitten with the brand. It's trend-forward while going with absolutely everything in your wardrobe. I've had my eye on these strappy mules for quite a while now, and seeing them pop up on a couple street style stars recently at Copenhagen Fashion Week has only kindled my obsession."

"Intentionally Blank makes some of the best minimal yet slightly unexpected styles. The silhouettes are forward, the heels are never too spindly, and there's always an interesting color choice thrown into the mix with the usual neutrals. Plus, it's not too bad on the wallet either."

"She does a lot more than shoes, but I really respect Stella McCartney for forging the way with faux leather materials that look and feel insanely real. She's even made a pair of biodegradable sneakers too!"
