The Only 6 Shoe Styles We Wear In Spring As Women Who Want To Be Chic But Can't Handle Foot Pain
A capsule wardrobe - but for feet!
by The Candidly Team
Ah, spring. The season of being warm then cold then warm again and never having a clue how to get dressed as a result.
A season this all over the place requires shoes that we can wear with absolutely everything. Honestly, in general, we’re too tired (*cough* lazy) for shoes that only work with like 3 things in our closet anyway. We want shoes that are good with every length of jeans, with all our spring skirts, daily dresses, full-length trousers, and yes, even shorts.
Shoes that dress up and down and maybe get us a few compliments along the way. Not that we need them, but they can be nice.
Oh, and can they also be indulgently comfortable and breathtakingly chiiiiiiiiic?!?!
We’re not just tossing a coin into a fountain here. We already got our wish and found 6 pairs of shoes that are in fact, the ONLY shoes we require for this joyfully erratic season. The quality and cushioning are on another plain, but ooooh are they pretty.
Have a look.
1. The Chicest, Most Buttery Soft Slides That Work With Every Single Outfit
What: M. Gemi The Matilde Due
Why we love it: These shoes are like the elevated Birkenstock but somehow deeply chic and more comfortable. They’re cloud-like in terms of cradling our precious feet. But their look is one of pure l-u-x-u-ry! The quality and the craftsmanship are very apparent (each pair is handmade in Lucca, Italy). It’s rare to find a lazy lady’s slide that’s this chic and that because of the wee bit over-scaled proportions works with literally everything we wear. Floaty skirts. Long jeans. Cropped pants. It all balances beautifully with this shoe.
Like we said, these are luxury shoes, so the price might feel a little bit challenging, but they truly are the kind of shoe you’ll wear constantly and that last forever, so we have to crown them - worth the splurge.
Price: $228
2. The Chic Little White Sneaks
What: Dr. Scholl's Time Off Platform Sneaker
Why we love it: Perhaps you’ve seen these shoes go the way of viral things in trend-driven places such as TikTok. But we gotta say when something this supremely comfortable and not typically trendy has its day in the sun, we’re sort of here for it. We rant constantly about how a white sneaker can be as graceful as a ballet flat but with all that orthopedic support and comfort. And this shoe just went ahead and mastered the whole damn thing. Obviously it’s good with jeans and pants, but also wildly cute with skirts and dresses.
Price: $70
3. The Strappy Heeled Sandal With Actual Support
What: Nisolo Stella Go-To Block Heel Sandal
Why we love it: Be swift with this one, because they sell out everywhere. And we get why. In addition to, once again, being the kind of shoe that elevates everything we wear on a daily basis, it’s incredibly comfortable. The block heel gives endless stability and arch support. And the shape is just timeless, so we know we can wear it forever.
And Nisolo was kind enough to give us our own code - not sponsored, we’re just that big of fans. Use CANDIDLY20 to get 20% off.
Price: $170
4. The Most Comfortable Heel On The Earth At This Time
What: Margaux The Heel
Why we love it: We’re not just being flowery and full of crap when we tell you, we actually prefer wearing these heels, yup heels, to all of our flats and many of our sneakers. We swooned over their shape for months, before picking from their lusty list of colors and purchasing a pair of our own. Turns out they’re the most walkable heels in existence. Great for work. For going out. All the things. They also come in wide and narrow to suit your precise foot shape.
Price: $295
5. The Only Boots Suitable For Spring
What: Everlane The Glove Boot
Why we love it: Spring boots. Is that a thing? Should be a thing. Obviously, we don’t want sweaty feet in big heavy boots, but the chic little support and matches-everything-ness of an ankle boot is just so appealing year-round. And this boot is uniquely stretchy and breathable, making it ideal for all-weather. Especially spring, and especially in cream!
Price: $150
6. The Very, Very Favorite Flat
What: Rothy’s The Square Mary Jane
Why we love it: Wanna look like Audrey Hepburn but be able to walk 17 blocks while feeling like you’re in breathable sneaks? Rothy’s is your answer. Their lightweight comfort in surreal. The color selection makes it impossible to choose a fav. They’re also washable and sustainable. But still, what gets us is how pretty they are. The shape. We die.
Price: $159
