2021 is all about mixing comfort with style. No matter the season, time or place, the need and love of footwear continues to remain strong. Through these last months of winter, whether you’re sporty, refined, casual or a mix of every style, there is a shoe for you, and shoes are a great investment.
For the sporty…
The Nike Dunk Low ‘Coast’
Price: $100
Where to buy: Footlocker, Stockx, Goat
This sneaker dropped in February and has been a crowd pleaser because of their simplistic style and pop of color. The Coast Blue and University Gold colorway give these shoes a retro yet bold design. The Dunk Lows are always comfortable and can be worn for years due to their genuine leather and long-lasting construction.
For the fashionable days…
DR. MARTENS White 2976 Quad Chelsea Boots
Price: $180
Where to buy: Dr. Marten, Nordstrom, Zappos
Doc Marten continues to dominate the market when it comes to leather boots. The white, shiny leather outer with the contrast of a thick, 3-inch black sole and the classic yellow stitching are a great combination on these Chelsea boots. The Chelsea boots are waterproof, long lasting and definitely a bold statement shoe. They are so popular that they sell out every few weeks on websites like Nordstrom and Zappos, as well as on the Dr. Marten website.
For the versatile…
Adidas Nizza Platform mid shoes
Price: $75
Where to buy: Adidas, Nordstrom
These all-white platform sneakers are comfortable, sleek and feature some detailed white-on-white stitching to add some fun. They are great for the transition into the spring months because they can be paired with pants, shorts and dresses. The Nizzas are more preppy than the average sneaker and can be dressed up or down.
For the winter weather...
Blundstone Australian Boot
Price: $199
Where to buy: Blundstone, Zappos
These boots have been popular for a few years and for good reason. Although they are more on the expensive end of footwear, costing $200, they are worth it for their durability. They are insulated with Thinsulate, a synthetic fiber that traps heat, and are completely weather-proof. These boots are great for outdoor activities such as hiking and biking, as well as dressing up an outfit to go to dinner or coffee with friends. Not to mention, the Blundstone brand of boots are easy to take care of.
For the trendsetter…
Steve Madden Malvern Loafer

Where to buy: Nordstrom, Macy’s
Bulky loafers are making a large comeback this year. These 90’s inspired platforms feature a rounded toe and a thick tread. Pair these shoes with any type of pants, a dress or a skirt and instantly upgrade your look. A bonus: slip-ons are easy and convenient to wear.
