“Can you put together some suggestions for cute and comfortable shoes? I am visiting New York for the first time in October, and I don’t want to blow my fashion by wearing comfortable “tennis shoes!” I’ll be doing a lot of walking, so comfort is key… but style is important too!”
Katie – I am so excited for you! October is my favorite month in NYC. I lived in Manhattan for awhile and I hear you. There is A LOT of walking and its NY so you want to look your best!
When I was there I wore flats flats flats!! (I’m not a heels kind of girl). I would suggest wearing flats and low – heeled boots. Make sure you bring some Wellies and an umbrella just in case! If it gets rainy just wear your Wellies walking around and slip a pair of flats in your purse in case you want to change.
When I was working downtown I had a whole drawer full of shoes and then I just wore weather appropriate shoes on my commute and changed at work.
My favorite place for cute, good quality, cheap shoes is Target. I also have thrown in a New Balance shoes because they are supposed to be more comfortable, however, it was hard finding a cute one!
p.s. Remember everyone in NY wears black – I liked to wear basic black pieces then spice it up with a beautiful scarf or colorful shoes or bag. Just a thought.
p.p.s. Readers who have sent emails: just a reminder that I am getting to them and to keep watching SS for your answers. We. Heart. Emails.
Hope this selection helps:
brown boots, brown NB, black studded boots, purple flat, black snake skin wellie, rose flat, blue studded flat, yellow wellie
