Whenever we think of designer shoes, our mind immediately turns to Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City. Our favorite fictional fashionista is the queen of the luxury high heel! In the SATC movie, Mr. Big even proposes to Carrie by slipping on a bejeweled Manolo Blahnik pump! Talk about a Cinderella moment.
When it comes to narrowing down the best designer shoes for women, we couldn’t help but wonder… What would Carrie Bradshaw do? She said it best herself: “When one door closes, a shoe box opens.” Don’t walk through life waiting for the other shoe to drop. Kick up your heels and be footloose and fancy-free! (We’ll cool it on the shoe puns, promise.)
While we don’t have the budget to exclusively fill our closet with designer shoes, we do believe it’s worth it to invest in a few pairs of high-quality footwear. It’s not just about the luxury label — designer shoes are made with premium materials, which lead to a longer shelf life. There’s a reason we often have to replace cheaper styles season after season! Plus, we reserve our designer heels for special events.
Truth be told, I tend to buy less inexpensive shoes, while my twin sister Brooke opts for pricier pairs. So, I consulted with my fraternal footwear expert for her recommendations. I also made sure to include a mix of classic staples that will go with everything as well as fun, trendy styles that will stand out in a crowd. Some heels, some boot, some flats. And, as always, I tried to find pieces that are comfortable and (relatively) affordable. If the shoe fits, wear it!
