I Did Tons of Nordstrom Shoe Research—These 28 Pairs Will Get the Most Wear

Nordstrom is great at a lot of things (sorry for the obvious statement) but especially shoes. There are so many. This is a great thing, but it also kind of makes shopping harder because we have to narrow it down somehow. Well, I'm happy to say that I did a lot of the digging for you.
I'll endorse a beautiful, ornate pair of heels any day, but are they going to get the most wear? No. And I don't know about you, but each season, I like to shop for shoes that I know will become my staples first (as in, before they sell out).
I just spent more time than I care to admit scrolling and scrolling through the thousands of Nordstrom shoes on offer and selected the most stylish and versatile pairs for fall. You'll wear them during the day, at night, on trips, on walks, out with friends, to the grocery store—you name it. I'm confident that you'll have zero regrets about ordering any one of these shoes.
