1. Dr. Scholl's Dakota
Another wedge option, this model is extremely comfortable without sacrificing style. Composed of man-made materials and built with a padded insole, the Dr. Scholl's Dakota is a quality purchase. The laces make it easy to get on and off and help secure the design to your foot with a more snug fit.
This model has an extra padded insole that provides more comfort on the foot – specifically the arch. Some designs can make the foot ache after a long day, but this model has additional padding to ease that pain. Many options are narrow and do not support wearers with wider feet. The Dakota is designed to fit any shape of the foot with flexible material and laces to secure the upper to the wearer’s foot.
The comfort level of the Dr. Sholl's Dakota is far above average with wearers reporting that they can wear them all day pain-free. Because of that, this model is a very strong value.
2. Marc Fisher Yale
Marc Fisher is a brand which speaks of timeless style, of clean, effortlessly chic looks which put a fresh spin on the classics. The Yale is a prime example of that, a design which we have seen before, but which - through the lens of Marc Fisher - looks new and reinvented. This pointy toe model comes with a metal detail at the front for some toughness, and it is polished enough to suit both casual and fancy occasions.
The Yale is made from leather for the upper, while the lining and the outsole are from man-made materials. There are elastic panels in the sides for stretchiness, and a pull tab in the back to make it easy for you to slide this baby on. Additionally, the heel height of the Yale is practically insignificant - almost 2 inches - meaning that you can wear it all day and all night if you so desire.
The metal tip of the design adds some interest to it and makes the Yale positively eye-catching. You will have a fun time mixing and matching this design with your favorite fall looks - try pairing it with a leather jacket for the ultimate rebel vibe, or with a long wool coat for winter chic style. There isn’t anything the Marc Fisher Yale can’t do!
3. Sam Edelman Winona
The Sam Edelman Winona is a western style design, with intricate stitching and a pointy toe for some fierce energy. It is an easy pull-on option, and its sleek, polished appearance will definitely complement all of your sharpest outfits. The Winona can be styled up with a wool skirt and a blouse or styled down with a pair of skinny jeans and a button-up shirt. Its versatility is endless, and that is one of the many reasons we love this sassy option!
The Winona is made from genuine leather and has stitch details on the front for some western flair. It is a pull-on design, with a pull tab in the back and gore panels in the sides for an adjustable fit. The pointy toe makes it sharp and merciless, and the stacked heel won’t cause you any trouble when walking. The heel height is about 2.3 inches, making it perfect for all-day wear.
If you’re looking for that wow factor, for a design that will be the perfect finish to your casual to semi-formal looks, then the Winona is the obvious choice. Embrace the western style and show off your new shoes to all of your friends and family!
4. Sorel Explorer Joan
From Sorel, a Canadian brand famous for its winterproof footwear, comes the Explorer Joan, a design which is a combination of a winter boot and a sneaker! Thanks to its slender silhouette you won’t feel like you’re being weighed down, and yet you will still be completely protected from wet conditions and the advancing chill. Cute, comfy and insulated, the Explorer Joan is a great option for the coldest days of the year.
The Explorer Joan has an upper made from full-grain leather and suede, with a faux fur collar for a touch of that winter wonderland effect. It is entirely waterproof thanks to its waterproof membrane construction, and it comes with a microfleece lining and 100 grams of insulation. The footbed is EVA, molded for comfort, and removable should you require more space inside the design. Finally, the outsole on the Explorer Joan is also made from EVA, with rubber pods to provide solid traction.
While not very well suited for more formal occasions, the Sorel Explorer Joan is a real lifesaver in light rain and snow. It will keep your feet warm and dry, and it is absolutely adorable to wear with its faux fur accents. If you’re looking for a cold winter option - there is no better choice than the Explorer Joan!
