I Wore 8 Brand-New Shoes Around NYC for an Entire Day, and These 5 Won Me Over

When it comes to shoes, I get attached quickly. Although I probably have over 50 in my closet, you’ll find me in the same five to 10 pairs almost every time you see me. Why? Because these shoes are broken in, meaning I can be on my feet all day when wearing them. Comfort is of the utmost importance to me, so while I love pulling the trigger on pretty styles I can only wear for a few hours at a time, I keep coming back to the best of the best.

As someone who spends a lot of time on my feet, when I was tasked with walking around New York City for an entire day in a few brand-new pairs of shoes. I knew it would be a challenge, but I was excited. This ended up being an opportunity for me to get out of my shoe comfort zone and find pairs stylish and comfortable enough to keep up with the demands of the city. After many days spent on my feet, I found five pairs of shoes stood out above the rest. These shoes provide the necessary support for standing all day but also look great with my outfit. Below, find the winners that I highly suggest buying into before summer.
