Whether you’re from NYC or planning a visit, comfortable footwear is a no-brainer. New Yorkers walk a lot and while a pair of pretty pumps are the perfect finishing touch to your outfit, but they’re not practical for the amount of walking you’ll be doing. I promise you, if you invest in good, comfortable shoes, your feet will thank you.
New Yorkers are some of the most fashionable people and because of the walking lifestyle in the city, your shoes should be an integral part of your outfit each day. You want them to not only be comfortable but also look good!
Not sure where to start? Here are the best shoes to wear walking around NYC, straight from my closet!
Sandals with an Ankle Strap
The summer months in NYC are, quite frankly, very hot. That means light layers and open toe shoes. If you’re going to wear sandals in the city, opting for a style that has a sturdy ankle strap and can be worn walking at least a mile or two, is key. This pair from Margaux check off all of these boxes. They’re sturdy, comfortable, and stylish. In the summer months, I’ll pair them with a cute dress but they’re also great to wear with ankle-length jeans, trousers, and skirts in the transitional months.
