Essential Shoes Every Woman Should Own

Author Emily Pywell - 2 minute read

Shoes are more than just accessories – they can define your look, elevate your confidence and carry you through every occasion, in style. Whether you’re heading to the office, dancing the night away or packing your holiday suitcase, having the right footwear is key. Here’s our definitive list of must-have shoes that every woman should own.

 

 

SNEAKERS

A pair of crisp white trainers is the ultimate blend of comfort and style. Versatile enough to pair with jeans, dresses or tailored trousers, they bring a fresh, laidback vibe to any outfit. Look for high-quality leather of sustainable materials for a long-lasting staple, like our S+W x Larsa Sneakers

THE PUMPS

 Every woman needs a pair of sleek black pumps. They’re the go-to for boardroom meetings, date nights and formal occasions. Opt for a mid to high heel in a pointed or almond toe silhouette for maximum elegance and wearability.

 

 

STRAPPY HEELS

For weddings, parties and special occasions, a delicate strappy heel is a must. Choose a neutral tone like nude, metallic or black to complement any outfit. Comfort is key, so look for cushioned insoles and supportive straps.

 

 

ANKLE BOOTS

Ankle boots are the ultimate transitional shoe – perfect for both work and weekends. A classic black or neutral leather boot will go with everything, while a bold colour or animal print can instantly elevate your style.

 

 

KNEE-HIGH BOOTS

A pair of knee-high boots instantly elevates any autumn or winter outfit. Whether you prefer sleek leather or cosy suede, these boots are ideal for layering with skirts, dresses and skinny jeans. A block heel adds comfort without sacrificing style.

 

 

SANDALS

As soon as the sun comes out, a pair of chic sandals is a must. Whether you prefer minimalist slides, elegant espadrilles or gladiator-style flats, the right pair will keep you stylish and comfortable all summer long.


BALLET FLATS

When you want comfort without sacrificing style, ballet flats are the answer. They’re ideal for running errands, commuting, or dressing up casual outfits. Go for a neutral shade or a fun pop of colour to suit your style.

 

MULES

Mules are the modern woman’s secret weapon – easy to slip on, effortlessly chic, and perfect for both casual and dressy looks. Whether you choose a flat or heeled version, they’re a instant upgrade to any outfit.

 

 

STATEMENT SHOES

The wild card. Every woman needs that one pair of shoes that sparks joy – whether it’s a bold colour, embellished heel or a quirky design. Statement shoes are all about expressing your personal style and making an impact.


 

Having these essential shoe styles in your wardrobe means you’ll always have the perfect pair for any occasion. Invest in quality, focus on versatility and put your best foot forward.
