Expensive Looking Summer Shoes You MUST OWN! 

Shania George not only do they last longer, they also prevent foot issues and back issues that cheap shoes would give you!

@@amasion2882 im a big fan of Clarks, and every time i wore it, my friends go 'woah... eXpEnSiVe' but i paid for the comfort! im tired of pvc shoes, its time to go good leather shoes 🤙🏼

Truer words have never been written! LOL! So true.

ryehaaan : I’m curious if it’s possible to study the long term health effects of people who wear well fitting supportive shoes versus people who don’t. There’s a lot of study of how high heeled shoes affect health and cause pain, but many people assume if they’re wearing lower heels or flats that’s good enough. Either way it costs money. You either pay for the shoes OR you pay for medical care for all the pain/injury caused (at least partially) by cheaper shoes.

@A Masion Your comment/advice reminds me of an old saying: Don’t be penny-wise & pound foolish. In my young adult years I sold, & then managed a higher quality shoe store, independently owned. It was a lovely, fun place to ‘work.’ I wore a couple higher-heel Italian pump’s, and found them to be most comfortable. I had my second child, life changed, & they moved behind a few other pair, to a space in my closet where my lesser favorite shoes lived. Decades later after a quiet serious injury to both knees, & one hip, I found it very smart to wear almost fully flat shoes. Actually, it may not even have been considered a ‘choice.’ Flash forward, I have lovely grandchildren & enjoy all areas of my life incredibly. But comfort & fun go hand in hand. I know my way around my new Brother sewing machine. And love quality recycled clothes choices, as well as buying a couple ~quality~ garments on the sale counter of my local Higher end department store. These combine to yield a satisfactory wardrobe, that may appear to be on the smaller side. But what I do not skimp on are quality, well made shoes. Perhaps a lesser quality running shoe may occasionally be added, but overall, this philosophy has provided comfort in my body, & a variety of looks. I fully appreciate this channel!

Me toooo!

I agree. Men aren't the one wearing them and feeling how uncomfortable the more "sexy" shoes (to men) with the high heels are. It's not worth the blisters and discomfort especially when wearing the shoes for long periods of time and actually walking in them.

Plus it's not about the specific item you wear. It's about the overall look. If you look elegant all together, they won't even notice your "granma" shoes. My mom always taught me to wear accessories, and shoes that at simple, timeless and comfortable. You will never fail with that.

Omg i love grandma shoes, thats one of my favourite designs and so comfortable, why wouldnt men like it??

Lol i feel like it's such a feminine shoe! Looks so classy. I am very surprised that men don't like them -- is it because they are reminded of older female relatives wearing them?

We used to call what Ana is calling "the grandma shoe" a "good walking shoe" .

I love a smart southern woman!

Susan Macaluso yes, wise words. Another saying that my mum always used to say is spend as much as you can afford on shoes and a mattress, because when you’re not in one, you’re in the other.

And she is right! 100% true

Good shoes take to Good places. I grabbed it from a TV series

That is really good advice

Polina Racheeva i Own a pair of those beautiful Chanel shoes, and it’s not very comfy, and to make it worse it’s being causing me ingrown nails! I realize it was deforming my beautiful feet as well. Now I only wear once a month. Luckily i was not the one who payed for them

@@mtartachenko maybe it was not fitting your foot shape or maybe it was made in some sweatshop. Not all shoes are created equal, though I agree, expensive does not necessarily mean good.

@UCZkDrMer2eceTfL0AtnOBdA well, as I said, brand does not mean it will work with you perfectly. My original comment referred more to saving up sacrificing quality and comfort

Don't ever wear flats. It has to be an arch or 1 - 2 inches hill. I would recommend Ecco, Vionic, Gabor ( I personally own 2 p. Paul Green is amazing.

Ooooooohhhhh I love this saying. My father never ever liked anything cheap altho he was working class type of man. However when he passed away everything fell apart b/c my mom didn't see things the way he did nor did my stepdad smh. Uh, not the greatest time but I'm glad that's all in the past. Your grandma was spot on👏👏👏

It's true😂😂😂😂😂

Truth 😂😂😂😂

😊 I feel the same way about Anna too

Hard agree!

Yasssss

She's lovely. 😊

Ay my African sister! ❣️

Yasss!!!

I dress for myself, too.

I love that shoe too!!!

Men’s opinion about women don’t matter.

I agree. Don't care what people think, I go for style with comfort, nothing less. Also like the grandma shoe.

I would loveeee that

What does it mean "capsule wardrobe"

@@ludastout2852 a set of essential wardrobe items, from coats to underwear, that are easily combinable between each other and can generate a lot of outfits. For example, 30 items that can make 70 outfits.

Polina Racheeva@ Thank you so much!

@@ludastout2852 Rich people don't need a capsule wardrobe. The whole point of them is to stop buying lots of cheap items and instead buy few good quality items to combine and mix with each other to make multiple outfits. The idea is to spend more on fewer items to make a larger wardrobe. Rich people don't need to worry about that sort of mix and matching. They can afford several of each type of item and probably only wear each item once or twice at best.

@@Ingrid0410 checking it out now. thank you!

Grandmas=God's right hand sent to help existence go well

50 years ago we called those 'sling backs' and everyone had a pair and we hobbled and clacked around because we had no idea how to wear them

you forgot kitten heels. apparently it's “top 6 elegant summer shoes” 😄

@@abigail8063 thank you ❤️

She has one.

Ok but real talk....Im 5'3" and my feet are a size US 10 ok. There no way someone with big feet can pull that off HAHAHAHA I know I can't, I've tried lol

Thanks for the tip!

KP k yess

Ratness Babs i thought I was the only one that hated that it makes the dressing look not well put together

@@genevieveeze4923 ikr. If you cant walk in heels wear flats. They are classic and elegant

I agree. Sneakers look awful with dresses, IMO.

@@AI-ch3if Depends on the snit, you have very elegant sneakers.

I think sneakers take away from a beautiful dress. Shoes are there to enhance your look.

Lami Akindele I agree, Zara shoes are the worst. Super hard, uncomfortable, not respectful of a foot anatomy at all.

Mariya Dikova and they are no even that cheap

Mango shoes are the same

Zara shoes are meant for people with thin feet. It may very well be that you have wide feet. I do too. I however pick out the styles that I know my feet will be comfortable in.

All shoes give me blisters. I don’t wear cheap shoes, but most in my collection give me blisters - Louboutins especially (flats, heels, even sneakers), Gucci leather flats give me the worst blisters, so it really isn’t about the price sometimes. I guess my skin is just so sensitive ugh

Katherine Margeson all grandma brands 😓

Yes, they do, but actually I don't understand why they are not made of leather inside of the shoes for this price.

Agota Mar this is a great point. I never thought of it. 🤔

Agota Mar Tieks and Soto Massini are all leather ballerina shoes.

sadly their quality has gone down over the past year. maybe it was the lockdown and worker shortages

Yes please!

Requesting that please

yes please and how to style them

I agree that sneakers are trending now; as long as there nice neat looking sneakers.

Repetto makes beautiful but simple shoes with good quality leather.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who experienced this. I purchased a pair of mules and the constant “falling off” when I walked was super embarrassing in public.

Same. They are hard to walk any distance in and very impractical.

Look up rich neighborhoods in your state and find consignment shops in those areas. For example I lived in both DMV and NYC. I found great shops in Bethesda, Georgetown, Dupont, Arlington, McClean, downtown Brooklyn, Village, and 5th ave. Many items are top quality names and often have new tags on them. Otherwise you can shop in stores like Zara etc. but you must be VERY selective about the pieces you choose. Occasionally go to Saks and Neiman and look at Clearance Rack. If you are buying a bag however, then buy from online consigners. My recommendations are: -Yoogi's Closet (better deals - check every hour and buy fast! Things go quickly.) -Fashionphile (wait for mark downs, stuff is overpriced).

Secondhand stores or stores that sell leftover stock can also help you find good quality (like tkmaxx), but there is usually a reason why clothes end up there so you'd have to search a bit still

Anna recommends getting designer brands on sale, it was in one of her videos. Just gotta be smart about sale shopping and you can get expensive items on a huge discount! She doesn’t recommend buying cheap stuff. Also I don’t think she would recommend buying second hand items. It’s just not classy. Save up and have less items but new and good quality, rather than buying something someone else owned. It’s kind of gross (as reply to what someone replied to your comment) 💕

Go to Nordstrom Rack (both online and store) and Express that have super nice items and usually have sales (I wait until the end of season to purchase the items i like)

@Alena Evmenenko While I have not watched every single video offered, I may disagree with just a tiny part of your comment. As for second hand items. Every so often you may find a nice, well-made, quality shoe that has been ever so lightly utilized. I would recommend rarely purchasing such, and doing so. Being prudent in your purchase, and using the most care you are able to. Best of luck and wishes sent.

sunnysideup Same,i found some heel sandals that were $120 and i paid less than $20❤️

D a t g u r l I wish I could laugh at this comment! 😂

😂😂😂

@mehitabel I bought Peter Kaiser I’m loving the shoes very elegant

Agree. Slingbacks help the transition from day to evening. Semi formal to casual

Kitten heels are great, unless you have larger than average feet. Then your feet start to look like boats. Some women wear high heels to make their feel look smaller.

muntuk yes please!! I’m in college and will be walking around campus everyday; knowing what sneakers are elegant is a must for me❤️❤️

Sneakers are never elegant.

Ted Baker sneakers perhaps?

Classic white keds.

It's a general etiquette rule.Daytime you wear heels up to 9cm,after 6pm or sundown(whichever comes first)you *can* wear 10cm and above (11cm is mostly the limit,12cm if you're *really* bold).

. . .

Linda Mills boots are the winner!

I choose plain boots with fake fur inside. Nothing fancy. It works with everything. Or choose shoes with a little platform, it keeps the feet warmer.

Does that exist? :)

I think some Ted Baker sneakers can be worn casually and look nice at the same time

That's an oxymoron.
