Start scrolling and pick a pair.  P.S. Be sure to check out Bloomie's shoe deal: Save 25% on a large selection of brands, when you buy 2 pairs.

Elyse Pointy Toe Loafer
This linen and leather shoe comes in twelve colorways, and is made in Italy. I have had great luck with this Italian brand. $179

With texture, style and color for days, this shoe is so very chic. On sale and also available in an orange tweed. $149

Lovely and luxe in four colors for $140. But if you can wear a 9.5 Macy's has it on sale for $69.

Can't you almost feel the softness of the leather? A silver flat slide will take you everywhere. $295
 Bloomingdale's    Saks

The Lenny
Chic to the max! Love the metallic leather and silver hardware. Plus the perforated leather provides instant cooling! The padded insole and rubber soul provide the comfort. More colors. $248


The Donna
Classic styling with a semi-pointed toe. Now on sale in cotton canvas or leather with many colors. Priced from $46-$69

The Espadrille
A good espadrille is always chic. A washable one is also smart. My friend Barb loves her Rothy's for their comfort. I think I love them for their style. Can be worn with or without the straps. Available in nine colors and patterns. $139
Rothy's
Loeffler Randall Crystal Mesh Mule
Yes you can be comfy while dressed up. Wear this pair with everything. They also come in a beautiful seafoam. $295 Ships free from

AGL Sade Sneaker
The most comfortable shoe I have ever had on my foot was made by AGL. As you know, sneakers have become quite chic. This style could be worn with so many styles. They have been Italian crafted, and feature an anatomical insole for daylong comfort. $398 and worth every penny.

The Knot Point II
How about some color? These are a must have for me.  If you love a pointy toe, like I do, but find them unfomfortable, try these on for size. They feature a spacious toe box, a sculpted outsole, and an ultra comfy insole. On backorder but will ship by May 20th. $165
