I'm an Editor With Classic Style—These Are the Exact 6 Shoes I've Been Wearing Lately
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
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
