If you’ve ever popped out for an errand wearing sweatpants and flip flops and immediately crossed paths with an ex, you know that the old adage “always look your best, you never know who you might run into” is one to live by. Unfortunately, we’ve been conditioned to think that looking good means feeling bad, so you might think the cost of squeezing on your “nice shoes” will always be pinched toes and blisters. That’s why we rounded up five pairs of what we’re calling “everywhere” shoes — the ones that’ll meet the dress code and pass the comfort test no matter the situation. They’re all from Marc Fisher LTD, a brand known for serving quality and style without sacrificing comfort, and we have no doubt you’ll find yourself reaching for these pairs again and again.
Zala Block Heel Pump
Marc Fisher LTD
The Zala Block Heel Pump is like the little black dress of shoes: The block heel is both comfortable and classic, and the black or nude versions will quickly become your most-worn pairs of pumps. This style also comes in a variety of other fun hues for an easy way to add a pop of color to any outfit, including red and silver — just in time for the holidays.
At the Office:
These are shoes you’ll want to show off at your next all-hands meeting, particularly if you opt for a fun color like red. We suggest pairing them with a pair of ankle pants and a classic oxford button-down
For a Night Out:
A block heel is the absolute best shoe for dancing, thanks to its stability-giving structure. So whether you’re headed to a wedding or a jazz bar, pair these pumps with a flowy, flared skirt and make a splash when you twirl around the dance floor.
For a Casual Afternoon:
Socks and heels might not have been on your fashion vision board for this year, but this combination of comfort and class is one we wish we’d adopted sooner. So put on your coziest oversized sweater and jeans, pop these pumps over a pair of long socks and head to your local coffee shop with your favorite book for a picture-perfect afternoon of relaxation.
Iggy Kitten Heel Bootie
Marc Fisher LTD
Let’s face it: The walkable bootie is the holy grail of shoes, but they can make some outfits look too casual. That’s where the kitten heel comes in: These booties look more formal but still feel like a walking shoe, so they’ll be just as at-home at a party as on a stroll through the park.
At the Office:
The kitten heel is fun and feminine (very mindful, very demure), so we suggest pairing them with a pair of wide-leg slacks and a silk blouse for a unique twist on an everyday work outfit.
For a Night Out:
Pair these booties with a mid-length skirt and off-the-shoulder top to bring out the boho beauty within.
For a Casual Afternoon:
In the words of Nancy Sinatra, these boots are made for walkin’, and that’s just what you should do in them. So when it’s time to walk your dog, take any super-casual outfit up a notch by wearing these with a pair of joggers and a matching sweatshirt. You might just find yourself strutting down the sidewalk like it’s a runway.
Genni Pointed Toe Pump
Marc Fisher LTD
Searching for the perfect heel can make you feel like Goldilocks: Everything is either too formal, too practical, too high, or not high enough. Luckily, the Genni Pointed Toe Pump is just right. It’s clearly got the fashion portion covered — the pointy toe shape and stiletto heel look particularly great with pants — but you won’t know how comfortable the padded footbeds and perfectly walkable 3-inch heel height are until you try them on for yourself. If you’re a girl on the go, these are the pumps for you.
At the Office:
These shoes will compliment any outfit anywhere, and the office is no exception. But just because a pair of shoes works for work doesn’t mean they have to be boring, so if you’re looking to branch out from black and beige, these calf-hair leopard print gems are a statement-making wardrobe staple. Wear them with a pencil skirt and fitted cardigan for an adorably retro look.
For a Night Out:
Nothing says “date night” like pairing classic heels with your favorite dress. Since the Genni Pointed Toe Pumps are so versatile, you can wear them with something long or short, patterned or solid: The world is your oyster.
For a Casual Afternoon:
Next time you’ve got on a blouse and jeans and are preparing to reach for a pair of flats, grab these instead. Even paired with a T-shirt, these heels will make you feel like you’re really wearing an outfit, and that level of coordination might just inspire you to check off some extra items on your to-do list.
Quinnie Over the Knee Boot
Marc Fisher LTD
This is the boot you’ll find yourself wearing season after season — not just because they’re so easy to walk in, but because the genuine leather and suede will hold up for as long as you have them. They’ve got a subtle trendy western flair with a rounded upper portion of the boot, and with the stiletto shape at just over two inches, these heels are ones you’ll be able to walk in all day. If you’re looking for a departure from traditional black boots, the brown suede are a trendy alternative.
At the Office:
Walking into the workplace in a pair of tall boots will make you feel powerful, and there’s nothing like a great outfit to make you feel confident in yourself. Pair these with a long, flowing skirt and turtleneck sweater, and people will wonder why you’re not headed into the office at Vogue.
For a Night Out:
There’s something about the combo of an oversized blazer and a pair of tall boots that makes any woman feel unstoppable. (Our theory is that it’s due to the blend of masculine and feminine elements.) While these boots look great under a dress or long skirt, if you’re taking them out on the town, you’ve got to show them off. Throw your favorite blazer over a neutral mini or midi dress and prepare to turn some heads.
For a Casual Afternoon:
The great thing about over-the-knee boots is that they provide some much-needed warmth in the winter. Pair these with a cozy sweater dress to bring on the autumn vibes.
Rosa Mule
Marc Fisher LTD
Cutting down on heel height doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. For proof, look no further than the Rosa Mule. The low stacked heel and padded sole will keep your feet cushioned, and the style looks great with everything from dresses to jeans. They’re also going to become your go-to travel shoe, since they won’t take up too much space in your suitcase but are an easy way to elevate any look.
At the Office:
Pair the snakeskin print variety with a pair of tights and a black tailored suit for a ‘80s boss lady throwback look that’ll have your coworkers mistaking you for Melanie Griffith in Working Girl.
For a Night Out:
These shoes are simple yet elegant, so lean into that vibe for an evening look. We suggest pairing them (in any color) with a plain black jumpsuit and a pair of statement earrings.
For a Casual Afternoon:
Comfort should be easy, and there’s nothing easier than a mule. Wear these to a Saturday afternoon picnic in a comfy dress and oversized coat for an effortlessly chic outfit.
