The Shoe Trends NYC Girls Actually Wear Every Day
Not to toot my own horn or anything, but leave it to NYC girls to find the best practical shoes for a stylish day around the city. After all, who better to test-drive trends than the style set who wears them and will walk actually around in them? As an L.A.-to-NYC transplant, I can tell you that that whole walking part really does make a difference in how you get dressed in the morning or for a night out. Luckily, however, whether it’s a pair of fancy-feeling flats or the best heel options that won’t kill your feet at the end of a long day, there are countless shoe trends that make the cut for city life, and today we’re highlighting eight of them. See what they are and shop our picks for each below.

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. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
