The flat shoes I actually wear: 36 ballet flats and loafers from Veronica Beard, Sam Edelman and Rothy's, priced $100 to $1,050.
Best Mules For Women
The best mules for women come in slides, shearling styles and wedge heels, and Gucci is where I start.

The Shoes Edit
The shoes worth buying are the ones that give an outfit a point of view without asking you to reorganise your day around them. I am interested in shoes that earn repeat wear, whether that means a precise leather ankle boot, a pump with a sensible heel, or a flat that makes denim
Luxury Shoes Edit
Luxury shoes are most convincing when the material and the shape are allowed to speak before the label does.
Best Leather Shoes
Leather shoes are the foundation of a wardrobe because the material can make a simple shape feel finished.
Designer Leather Shoes
Designer Leather Shoes is about finding pieces that make a wardrobe feel considered without making getting dressed complicated.
The Sandals Edit
The best sandals are the ones that make getting dressed simpler, not the ones that demand a whole outfit around them.
Shoes Under $500
Shoes in this price range are where I expect the best decisions, because a useful pair should not require a special occasion to justify itself.
The Boots Edit
An edit of boots organized by material and style: leather, suede, shearling and faux fur, plus knee-high, ankle, western and lug-sole pairs.
The Mules Edit: Mules You Can Slip On Quickly
The best mules are the shoes you can slip on quickly. Shop 40 from RAYE, St. Agni, Gucci and Sam Edelman, $71 to $1,550.
The Sneakers Edit
The sneakers edit is really a guide to choosing between polish, texture and actual visual energy.
Pumps: The Pumps Edit
The pumps edit: 30 suede, wedge and slingback pumps from Tony Bianco, Balmain, Stuart Weitzman and Retrofete, $125 to $1,047.
Shoes Under $300
Shoes under $300 are not a consolation category. Shop flats, pumps and wedges judged by shape, sole and fit, not by the discount.
Sandals Under $500
Sandals are the shoes I want to forget about once they are on, which means the best pair is not the most dramatic one.
Best Stiletto Pumps
Stiletto pumps are the most formal version of a shoe that still belongs in an ordinary wardrobe.
Sneakers Under $500
Sneakers under five hundred dollars are no longer a single category, which is both useful and slightly annoying.
Sneakers Under 300 Dollars: Nike Suede, Mesh and Flat Soles
Sneakers under 300 dollars should have a clear shape and earn ordinary mileage, and the Nike pairs here run from suede to mesh to flat soles.
Sneakers Under $250
Sneakers under two hundred fifty dollars should be judged by how naturally they enter the wardrobe, not by how technical or elaborate their names sound.
Best Flat Shoes
The best flat shoes stay comfortable all day without pinching, slipping or dragging, from the ATP Atelier Forcola to a velvet Stubbs & Wootton slipper.
Affordable Shoes Edit
Affordable shoes that solve a real problem at a price that leaves room for the outfit. Shop shoes by sole shape, flex point and upper.
