It makes sense, then, that at this transitional time of year my first purchase of the season tends to be a pair of shoes. Sometimes that’s a classic pair of leather sandals I know I’ll bring out again and again for the next few years, which I’ll likely invest a bit more in for the best quality. But for more trend-led styles that make the rest of my classics feel fresh, I usually head to the high street.
After all, there’s so many great options out there (especially this year) that have you covered. From minimalist-approved flats to joyful heels to wear to all those weddings and events you have coming up. There’s so many in fact, that I thought it would be helpful to head to Oxford Street on a research trip and try on as many pairs of spring shoes as I could find to whittle it down to the very best ones to recommend to you.
I have to say of all the stores I popped into, & Other Stories impressed me most, with a curated edit of perfect styles— from sandals that felt like walking on clouds to the best ballet flats I’ve seen on the high street (they may or may not have come home with me). M&S also really impressed me in the shoe department (no surprises there— I’ve been a long time fan of their comfortable, excellent quality footwear). And, of course, H&M for budget-friendly on-trend options.
