Products you buy through our links may earn us a commission. Oh, and if something's out of stock, oops, it was there (and all prices were accurate) at time of publication.
When we think of the perfect spring shoe, we think of something that can be paired as easily with a dress as it can with jeans, since the weather is often unpredictable. We’ll start you off with these versatile sneakers, comfortable sandals, office-appropriate ballet flats, and more, all of which cost under $125. These will be your new go-tos.
The retro sneakers we’re bringing back…
Retro styles are making a big comeback, and Puma Speedcats are set to be the It Sneaker this season. They’re sleek enough to wear with sundresses, but they also look effortlessly chic with slouchy jeans and a tee. The pale pink could not be more perfect for spring. ($100, Nordstrom)
Flat sandals by a trusted brand…
We’ve worn Vagabond shoes for years, and we can always count on them for comfort and durability. Flat leather sandals are having a moment, so we’re grabbing these for our summer trips when we’re getting our steps in. You can’t go wrong with the white or brown. ($100, Anthropologie)
A horsebit loafer that’s a steal…
These are made of soft Italian leather with classic horsebit hardware, and they’re under $80. Need we say more? They also have a padded insole so you won’t feel like you’re walking on the pavement. The cream color would be great with an all-white ensemble. ($79.90, Quince)
A kitten heel sandal for a little lift…
We’ve been seeing heeled thong sandals everywhere, and we’re here for it. These have an under-2-inch heel that won’t slow you down, no matter the occasion. They look chic with straight-leg jeans for dinner, or your vacation outfit. ($49.95, Nordstrom)
A suede clog that’s water-repellent…
We love suede shoes, but it can be hard to keep them clean during spring showers. But these clogs can handle a few drops of rain, thanks to a water-repellent finish. They have a sole that molds to your foot and come in three gorgeous neutral colors. ($69.90, Quince)
The platform sneaker we can’t get enough of…
They have a cloud-like bouncy insole, give a little height with a just-right platform, and don’t rub. These are the sneakers you can walk for miles in without a whisper of a blister, while still feeling put together. They’re worth the hype. ($59.99, DSW)
A comfortable sneaker by an underrated brand…
Step aside, Sambas. We’ve been seeing Golas pop up everywhere, and for good reason, since they’re some of the most comfortable sneakers we’ve ever worn. We love the green colorways and are surprised these are still in stock. ($80, Revolve)
Mary Janes so you can test out the trend…
If you want to see how you like Mary Janes without overcommitting, this $30 pair is for you. They have a memory foam cushion, a sleek silver buckle, and come in four colorways. You’ll find yourself slipping them on for casual and dressy occasions. ($30, Target)
A go-everywhere waterproof slide…
This is a completely plastic version of the classic Arizona Birkenstock. It’s the lighter, waterproof alternative that’s perfect for trips to the pool or beach. They’ll also be your go-to for coffee runs and in between workout classes. ($49.96, DSW)
A pair of white sneakers we always go back to…
Is there anything better than a fresh pair of white Converse for spring? There’s nothing these canvas classics can’t be paired with, but we love wearing them with a crisp pair of denim shorts. We think this Madison style has more cushioning than the original Chucks. ($44.97+, Converse)
A track sneaker in a neutral cream color…
We’ll always stand by our New Balances, since they’re insanely comfortable. They have the retro vibe that’s trending right now and look good with dresses and trousers. The neutral colorways will never go out of style. ($89.99, New Balance)
A pair of vegan leather slip-ons…
Slip-ons are a great option because you can just throw them on and go. This pair is made of coconut, sugarcane, and palm that has the look of leather. The recycled rubber insole is extra-cushioned, and they’re even stain-proof and water-resistant. ($125, Thousand Fell)
A flip-flop made for walking…
They might look like an average pair that won’t provide much arch support, but they have air-foam cushioning and extra padding in high-impact areas like the heel and ball of the foot. These are perfect for vacationing when you’re going from the beach to dinner in an instant (especially since they’re also waterproof). (Unknown, Amazon)
Dr. Martens sandals that are incredibly versatile...
PSA: Docs make sandals. And they’re just as comfortable as their combat boots. These platform sandals are made with the same Goodyear welt that will hold up for years. The double straps are sure to keep your foot from sliding around as you walk. ($100, Free People)
A black Chelsea boot that can go from the office to dinner reservations...
From the sturdy sole to the breathable lining, these are supportive and comfortable. You can pair them with jeans, dresses, or skirts. They also come in tan if you have enough black boots in your closet. Plus, they’re waterproof, so great for drizzly days. (Unknown, Amazon)
A nude ballet flat that’s about as classic as it gets…
From the neutral hue to the delicate bow detail, these flats are timeless. You’ll find yourself pairing them with everything from your favorite jeans to a breezy sundress. Plus, the buttery leather will be comfortable and breathable. ($98, Shopbop)
