Step It Up: Five Shoes to Get You In and Out of the City

We know you love hoarding shoes, especially cute ones you can use for practical purposes so you don’t have to sacrifice style for comfort. Also, we know you’ve got a pair of shoes for every activity your busy schedule throws at you.

If you need another set to put in rotation or to simply feed the addiction, here are five shoes worth copping with a specific reason in mind so you can totally justify yet another splurge.

After a long night out

Made by a former club bouncer who thought that women always have a hard time in their heels, these foldable Yosi Samra flats (P3,200) are easy to fit even in your glove compartment after a night of dancing.

By the beach

Recently, we headed over to La Union for some eco-friendly R&R, and we remembered how important a pair that will stand the wear and tear of saltwater and sand. These Melissa Cosmic slides (P3,250) are a reliable pair that come in cute colors to match your maillot!

Running errands

With a thick but comfy sole, these Paez Hawaii shoes (P2,499) are best for walking to the bank, to the mall, to the park, to the office, to…well, you get what we’re saying.

On a casual date

If you’ve been offered to go on a nice brunch date, no need to bust out some heels. Go for an easy going Toms pair (P3,000) with a dainty print that will match some cute culottes or a dress.
