Shoes I'm Living in & Loving This Year
Hey, y’all! The past 12 months haven’t been what we all thought and I think we can definitely agree that we didn’t get to wear all the outfits we wanted since we all were at home in our loungewear. I will admit that I did take a couple of my heels out to the living room for bit (they were feeling forgotten lol), but the majority of my closet got neglected this year.
I’m hoping in 2021 I can bring some amazing pieces back out and that includes shoes! I couldn’t resist a couple of new styles this year and all of the sales didn’t help my willpower… but below I’m sharing all the details on my favorites! It’s no secret that I love Steve Madden and am pretty brand loyal to them. He makes quality shoes at a price point that, in my opinion, is great.
BOOTIES
Booties have always been an easy go-to for me because they are comfortable, chic and easy to pair with any outfit. I’ve linked some of my favorites above, but let’s get specific on some styles below!
STEVE MADDEN AMULET BOOT
One of my most worn boots this season, the Amulet is the perfect mix of edgy and glam. With a removeable strap and a very comfortable fit, these booties are true to size and a fun, but versatile staple for your closet.
$129

I received this pair for Christmas and I think they are SO cool. With a unique heel design and mixed materials of leather and a soft knit, these avant-garde booties are stunning. Well-made, comfortable, and true to size, I highly recommend these. Be sure to wear a bit thinner socks as they are meant to hug your foot for a fitted style.
CASUAL SNEAKERS
My next most worn shoe category is casual sneakers. I don’t love the Golden Goose trend so much because 1) they are insanely expensive and 2) I don’t love the worn and dirty look. However, I do love the structure of the shoe and the relaxed vibe. I was on the hunt for similar styles that were a bit cleaner looking and classic. Below are a few I love and have been wearing for the last 12 months!

My exact version of these with the tweed and red laces linked above are no longer sold, but this is the exact style. What I love about these is they are comfortable, mirror the Golden Goose style, but aren’t too busy or dirty. These fit true to size.
steve madden gallup leopard
I don’t own these (yet ha), but they are definitely on my wish list. I love the elevated style and touch of leopard for a fun accent. The contrast of the white base and black laces make a truly dimensional sneaker and perfect pair to take you into Spring!
SLIPPERS
I wouldn’t be honest if I didn’t include my most worn category in 2020 - slippers. Being at home, working from home and for months not leaving the house, my slippers got a lot of use this past year. I found a few pairs that I love and am wearing this pair as I type this!
the amazon slipper
These comfy little babes went viral in early 2020 when everyone was shopping loungewear. They actually were out of stock for almost 3 months because everyone was purchasing them. I have them in white and LOVE them. I still wear them to this day as we continue to work from home. They come in a ton of colors and are so comfortable. I’m a size 7 usually and wear the ‘medium’ size. If you’re in between sizes, go up one size for a comfortable fit!
target Paris slide
I grabbed these this summer while buying things I didn’t need at Target and couldn’t get over the $10 price tag. The best part? They’re on clearance for $5 right now! These are so comfortable and similar to the ones above, but are slightly thinner (I like that!). They are a bit easier to walk in and aren’t as much of a platform as the Amazon pair are. I’m wearing the medium! You can find them in-store too!
