Shoe styles don’t change radically from season to season, which is why we stock the basics—Birkenstocks, white sneakers—year-round. We also supplement our curation with seasonal options, from the best strappy sandals for spring and summer to the Chelsea boots you’ll be living in come fall.

What unites all these styles (sandals, heels, sneakers, boots, slides) is the emphasis on quality. The beauty of designer footwear is that it’s made with longevity in mind, with meticulous attention to every detail, from the materials used to the security of each stitch. Which means these shoes will outlast their mass-market counterparts—and look good doing it.
