Aside from shopping for a new swimsuit or a pair of sunglasses, a summer shoe refresh might be our favorite seasonal upgrade. Between packing for vacations, attending weddings, and re-committing to a workout regimen, there are plenty of justifications for adding a pair or two to your closet. With Nordstrom's wide selection of quality brands, ranging from designer heels to sneakers, it's easy to find a pair that fits your need and style at a price you're comfortable spending.
After combing through their inventory of bestsellers and can't-miss deals, we've honed in on a variety of styles, including heels, sandals, boots, and everything in between. We've even spotted some options perfect for fall, like chelsea-style rain boots, as well as a pair of bejeweled sandals our editor can't stop raving about. If you're ready to shake up your shoe selection, browse our curated list of Nordstrom's most covetable shoe styles for the season and beyond.
1 Editor's Pick: Best Jelly Sandals
Jeffrey Campbell Gum-Drop Jelly Sandal ($38, originally $50)
If you've hesitated to embrace the jelly trend, let these Jeffrey Campbell stunners be your entryway. Our shopping editor bought them during the anniversary sale and hasn't stopped raving about them since. Between the glossy material that's pliable and ridiculously comfortable and the eye-catching silver "gum drops", they're elevated yet easy and crazy affordable right now.
Editor Quote: "These shoes are deceptively comfortable — the jelly material is bendable, soft, and smooth, so it almost molds to your foot as you walk. They dress up the most basic outfits, whether its denim cut-offs and a knit tank or a cotton shirt dress. I still can't believe that they're under $40 and still in stock!" — Angela Elias, contributing shopping editor
2 Best Mesh Ballet Flats
Nolita Mary Jane Flat ($58)
Reviewers describe these mesh ballet flats as having a barefoot feel that's surprisingly comfortable. They add a cool factor to everything from jeans to dresses and the price is hard to beat.
3 Best Loafers
Franco Sarto Carolyn Tassel Loafer ($70, originally $110)
Loafers truly never go out of style, but if you're craving something bolder, this patent leather option, adorned with tassels and a chunkier sole should be your speed. They come in five different color and material options, ranging from leather to suede.
4 Best Slippers
OluKai Pupu Mua Genuine Shearling Scuff Slipper ($130)
As soon as the temperature drops, these ridiculously soft slippers will come to the rescue. Your feet will be enveloped in fluffy shearling for warmth and comfort while the rubber, textured soles add lots of traction.
5 Best Street Sneakers
Dolce Vita Notice Sneaker ($139)
Sporty but undeniably stylish, these are the sneakers you'll want for a day of errands or exploring a new city. They come in four different color options.
6 Best Running Shoes
Hoka Kawana 2 Running Shoe ($140)
If you're looking for an active sneaker that can handle all sorts of workouts, you'll appreciate the cushioned footbed, sock-like bootie, and ghillie lacing on this latest iteration of the Hoka Kawana Running Shoe. With nearly 100 reviews and 86 percent of reviewers rating them five stars, they're a popular pick. According to one reviewer, wearing them "[feels] like walking on a cloud".
7 Best Rain Boots
Hunter Waterproof Chelsea Rain Boot ($145)
If you need a pair of solid wellies, it doesn't get more classic than a pair of Hunter rain boots. This chelsea-style is especially wearable since they're easy to slip on and include an inset neoprene cuff for extra comfort.
8 Best Block-Heeled Booties
Blondo Alida Waterproof Bootie ($150)
Every closet needs a black bootie, and there's plenty to love about this option. The round toe, block heel, and seamless look garner style points, while the water-resistant finish offers practicality.
9 Best Leather Sneakers
Cole Haan GrandPro Topspin Sneaker ($150)
For a clean and classic white sneaker, these leather beauties from Cole Haan are a popular choice. Flexible with a cushioned footbed, they're both comfortable and sleek.
10 Best Kitten-Heel Sandals
Vince Cora Kitten Heel Slide Sandal ($295)
The sculptural silhouette of these double-strap heels add plenty of visual interest. Minimal enough to go with everything, the cushioned sole and kitten heel means they're equally comfortable.
11 Best Slingback Flats
Rag & Bone Astra Slingback Flat ($348)
The grommet-studded strap on these otherwise classic slingbacks add instant edge and a hint of bling. Slip them on to easily elevate everything from jeans to shorts.
