I won't tell you how many pairs of shoes I own (mostly because I'm afraid to count), but I can tell you it's a lot. Boots, sneakers, pumps, flats… You name it, and I got it by the dozen. Like most people, however, I always end up relying on an elite few—no matter how many of a staple I acquire, whether it be tops, jeans, handbags, or shoes. Of course, this winter has been no exception.
I've had my go-to sweaters, coats, and winter accessories, but today, I'm here to focus on my go-to footwear. Below, you'll find the exact six pairs of shoes I've been wearing more than any others I own, along with even more styles to shop in each category. From boots to sneakers, I've got you covered. Just keep scrolling to get started.
1. Reformation Remy Knee Boots
I bought these last winter and was so excited for the temperatures to drop so I could start wearing them again this year. My go-to look with these tends to be a miniskirt and sweater, but I like to switch it up by swapping out the specific pieces and occasionally adding tights.
2. Saint Laurent Carine Slingbacks
I feel like anyone who reads my stories knows how much I love slingbacks, and as my newest pair, these have truly been bringing me joy while serving a purpose in my wardrobe! They go seamlessly with everything but give a little something extra to an outfit at the same time and are surprisingly comfortable.
3. Studio Amelia Maverick Ankle Boots
If you're wondering what the last thing I bought was, it's these beauties. I actually preordered them months ago, so it was such a surprise when they arrived last week—and lucky I did, because they're now basically sold out everywhere. Honestly, I have wanted to wear them everywhere I've gone since. I find that heeled ankle boots don't always look the coolest, but the silhouette and combination of materials make them so chic. These similar styles have the same energy.
4. Athletic Propulsion Labs Zipline Sneakers
While I'm not a runner per se, I do run around the city all day, and comfortable shoes are the key to my personal survival! Thankfully, I've found a pair that looks as cool with leggings as it does with jeans, and I have been living in these APLs this winter while constantly getting compliments on them.
5. The Row Zipped Ankle Boots
As much as I love the zipper detail and suede material of my own (sold out almost everywhere) The Row Zipped 1 boots, what really makes these so good to me is the combination of the platform with the ultra-slim ankle. Whether it's in brown suede or black leather, with or without a zip, it's the perfect juxtaposition of edge and polish and makes it one of the most practical pairs of shoes in my winter wardrobe.
6. Adidas x Wales Bonner Sambas
I wouldn't be a fashion person if I wasn't also a sucker for Adidas and, more specifically, all the novelty styles. This Wales Bonner version has been my go-to lately, but I'd be lying if I didn't say there are other low-key sneakers in my cart.
