    33 Pairs Of Shoes That Really Are Worth The Splurge

    High-quality, comfortable, and stylish shoes you'll be wearing for a long, long time.

    Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s.

    1. Chelsea boots that are such a classic style you can keep them in your closet and grab them whenever you're not quite sure what to wear but need a sturdy pair of shoes that will look good with just about any outfit.

    2. Allbirds wool sneakers made with breathable wool to keep your feet calm, cool, and collected...even if you're not. Plus, when they get dirty, you can just throw them in the washer, and they'll look (and smell) as good as new, meaning you won't need to replace them.

    4. Steve Madden ankle boots I'm *pretty* sure Hannah Montana was referencing when she sang, "You get the best of both worlds" because they combine style and comfort into one great shoe you'll wear ALLL the time.

    5. Some smoking slippers multiple reviewers say they've purchased for a second time, which is a sure sign that these cuties are well worth their price. And I mean, just look at them — they're basically begging you to add them to your cart. *wink, wink*
