Women's shoes by type: which shape for which use
Here, women's shoes are organised by shape: sandals, mules, sneakers, loafers, derbies, ankle boots, boots, and slippers. First, choose the shape that suits the season and your day, then compare the brands within each section.
The shapes of the range
- Sandals and open-toe shoes and mules and flip-flops: summer, with Birkenstock leading the way.
- Sneakers: retro running styles from Saucony, Asics, and Mizuno, low-top styles from Puma and Autry.
- Loafers and derbies and oxfords: for the city and the office.
- Ankle boots and boots: mid-season, rain, and winter.
- Slippers: for home.
Choosing the shape by season
As soon as the first chill arrives, Chelsea boots and rain boots take over from sandals. Between the two, loafers, derbies, and sneakers can be worn all year round.
For one versatile pair, low leather sneakers or closed clogs cover the most situations.
What style for the office?
Loafers and derbies remain the easiest to wear at the office, whether with a tailored trouser or with a pair of jeans. A low leather sneaker also fits in a casual environment.
In winter, a leather Chelsea boot easily replaces the loafer.
