1. A ballet flat – you don't need hours and hours of dance training to know how classic and elegant these are.
2. A pair of sneakers from the Keds x Rifle Paper Co. collab that I'm pretty sure are exactly what Lizzie McGuire was singing about when she sang, "Hey now! Hey now! This is what dreams are made of!"
3. A flat basically designed to work overtime, so that means you can go to work and out afterward to get drinks with your friends, and you won't have to ever change your shoes.
4. Scalloped sandals with a heel small enough that you'll feel a little boost of confidence but won't have to worry about your feet hurting in a matter of hours.
5. A penny loafer so versatile, you can dress a pair up and wear them to work during the week and then pair them with jeans and a T-shirt for a nice weekend look.
6. A Mary Jane flat designed to make a statement. And that statement is that you're def the fashionista of your friend group.
7. Some platform oxfords you'll want to go back to school just to show off and get an A+ in style.
8. Sandals designed with an insole to give you the support you need without having to compromise on fashion. Shoes can (and should) do both!
9. A chunky pump you can wear to an outdoor wedding so you won't have to spend the whole day worrying about your heel sinking into the grass.
10. Mules that people will probably stop you on the street to ask you where you got them.
11. A pointed-toe slip-on perfect for the days when you're running late and don't even have a second to tie any laces. Just shove your feet in them and run out the door.
12. A nubuck with a cutout wedge for something so different you'll exclaim ~olive!~ you every time you put them on.
13. A pair of flats with bows on top because cute and comfortable shoes are the ~gift~ that just keeps on giving.
14. Everlane Day Heels – they have more than 4,000 reviews raving about how comfortable and supportive they are.
15. A wedge for any nice occasion when you want a bit of height but don't want to have to worry about your feet getting tired and hurting by the end of the night.
16. Rothy's loafers, which are made from recycled water bottles for a style that will make you feel good (literally and figuratively) about your purchase.
17. A jeweled ballet flat sure to make any outfit sparkle and shine.
18. A platform sandal that takes the '90s trend and ~elevates~ it to be one of the chicest trends of the year.
19. A buckle flat so you won't accidentally slip out of your shoe and end up stepping on the disgusting ground. Don't you act like it hasn't happened to you before! You know what I'm talking about!
20. A slingback designed to be simple and sophisticated and elevate anything you wear. (Yes, even jeans!)
21. Some over-the-knee boots that'll be high on your list of shoes you want to wear every week. Trust me.
22. A pair of laser-cut sneakers that'll ~cut~ their way into the top spot on your list of favorite shoes. You know the one you tell everyone you don't have, but you totally do. It's okay, your secret is safe with me.
23. A brightly colored sneaker because sneakers are still stylish with any outfit—not just athleisure, and you're going to be so happy about that.
24. Some sandals with a two-inch block heel, which is basically the Goldilocks of heel hights.
25. A leopard-print flat for when you're feeling ~wild~, and by wild, I mean you want to switch up your go-to black shoes for a different neutral. Go for it!
26. A Franco Sarto ankle-strap sandal so gorgeous you'll be dreaming about them from the moment you take them off till you're able to put them back on again.
27. A velvet sneaker – you'll have a ~soft~ spot for 'em in your heart because they're so different and cool.
