If you are anything like me, you simply cannot function if your shoes are even the slightest bit uncomfortable. That's exactly why I have praised the fashion gods for blessing us with comfortable yet chic shoe trends over the past decade or so. I'm a shoe lover through and through, so it's always the first thing I look for when shopping. In fact, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is happening now, and I immediately hit up the shoe section when I set out to peruse all the discounted gems.

I took the time to comb through the overflowing shoe sale—that has over 500 options to pick from—and came across five particular comfortable yet chic shoe styles that I swear by at the moment. Think Mary Jane flats, sleek kitten-heel slingbacks, classic ballet flats, and more. Keep scrolling to shop my top finds from the Nordstrom sale that will get you through the day comfortably without sacrificing style.
