At this point, I'm sure my feet will scream at me if I dare squeeze them into another pair of boots. While cold weather feels like torture on my bones, I always feel pure adulterated joy when boot season rolls around–I can't resist a trendy boot! By the end of January however, with all of the pushing and prodding into what feels like a shoe prison, my feet start to sing another tune. Thankfully we're in the home stretch of winter, which means plenty of beautiful sandals soon coming our way, but let's not forget that just because it's spring that doesn't immediately usher in blazing, sandal-ready temperatures.
For that too-cold-for-sandals-and-too-hot-for-boots type of weather, shoes like mules, flats, and loafers will be your savior. Square-toe ballet flats and chunky-soled lace-ups are two big trending styles we've been seeing a lot of lately, and they also happen to be perfect candidates for that weird in-between weather. Can't wait to get your sandal fix in yet? We love a clog mule to spice things up–just add socks for increased coziness. From next level flats to dad-inspired chukas, these shoes will scratch the sandals itch, while you eagerly await the warm side of spring.

Clogs are surprisingly versatile–whether you wear them with dresses in the summer or long pants and socks in the winter, they're a smart investment.
Lime green is surely one way to get noticed (and have a little styling fun).
A french-girl favorite.
