These Are the Best 5 Pairs of Shoes at Nordstrom—Period
Right now, Nordstrom is home to 19,158 pairs of women's shoes, and while the retailer has done a great job of designing its website to make sorting through them as easy as possible, it still isn't necessarily easy. If you're not at all sure what you're looking for, filtering by style, color, or heel height probably won't be a ton of help. Trust me, I've perused Nordstrom.com thousands of times and know what it's like to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of options available. Fortunately, my expert-level experience in the shoe department there puts me in a particularly great position to help you navigate it.
This week, I put to use some of my longest-running tips and tricks and put together a list of the absolute best five shoe styles at Nordstrom, ranging from $50 to $775. That means without having to scroll for hours and mess around with various filters, you now have access to everything necessary to make an informed shoe-buying decision for spring and summer. Scroll down to see which five pairs made the cut.
The best five pairs of shoes at Nordstrom:
When I saw these arrive at Open Edit, I knew they'd be a huge hit. They're minimalist and easy for the warmer months. Plus, the low heel adds wearability that's necessary for long summer walks. It doesn't hurt that they're just $50 and also come in a quiet-luxury shade of cream either.
Almond-toe court shoes have entered the chat at Nordstrom, and everyone's welcoming them with open arms. "I've been searching and searching for a nice flat that's comfortable yet stylish," one reviewer wrote. "This one is both. Super soft leather and a simple design. Love it!"
The classic black version of these iconic Saint Laurent slides have 53 reviews on Nordstrom that pretty much all convinced me that I need a pair ASAP before spring formally arrives. Note: If you have narrow feet, many reviewers advised shoppers to size up.
These on-sale mesh flats from Jeffrey Campbell have been selling like crazy. New colors keep arriving and with each one, another wave of popularity builds. The red version is no doubt my favorite, especially when paired with white trousers, skirts, or dresses. They provide a perfect pop of color when you wear an otherwise monochrome, clean look.
I can't believe that these Coach mules aren't sold out yet, especially since they're not on sale. This is one of those shoes that I feel are hiding in Nordstrom's shoe department and need to be seen by as many people as possible. The cut is so chic and timeless, and the price is fantastic for Coach-quality leather and craftsmanship.

Last, but certainly not least, are Aeyde's Uma flats, which I constantly see on Sylvie Mus's Instagram. She makes me want them every time.
