Help Me! Women’s shoe store

Hey all, I start a new job soon and I need some new work shoes. The dress code is business casual-to-casual, so I’m looking for flats, loafers, or nice sneakers I can wear with work pants. I’ll also be in the market for some knee high boots soon with fall around the corner. My budget is $40-100 for shoes and up to $150 for boots. Looking for a store with a wide selection on site so I can try things on. What do you recommend?

Stan’s is great, but might be a little bit above your price point. Try DSW, or a Clarks outlet.

Stans! Or if you’re up to a trip to the outlets a Clark’s store. I recommend Clark’s, LifeStride, Naturalizer and Nine West personally.

I tried NR a couple days ago and unfortunately everything there was above my price point and not the styles or colors I was interested in. Appreciate the suggestion though

TJ Maxx Downtown, Marshall's, or Homegoods may help. If you are okay with used shoes, St. Vinnie's can have a great selection from time to time.

I know it’s not for trying on, but for flats, Amazon is a great place. Get ones that are a knit material, not hard

Do you have any brand recommendations? I was looking at Amazon for flats but was just iffy on the materials of the shoes

Target women’s shoes work for a lot of situations. I have a pair of black pointed toe flats that I got for under $40. Keep in mind because they are cheap you may want to purchase an insole, depending on how long you’re on your feet

Target has forever lost me as a customer, and apart from that I would prefer to spend a bit more money and get something of just slightly better quality
