Work Shoes

I work full time at a Toronto based shoe store called Capezio, so naturally, my shoe game needs to be on point every single day. 

I'm always adding more shoes to my collection because I love shoes and I love shopping, but currently this is my fall/winter line up of work shoes.

If you want to see how I wear the shoes or what they look like on, check out my instagram, @alexisemilychin, for almost daily ootd's and selfies. 

1) Filene by Shellys London

These were the one of the two first pairs of shoes I bought when I got the job. They have a secret 1" heel that I always appreciate, but are also my comfiest work shoes. These are my go to when I know I'm facing a busy day or stock. 

2) Camp by Shellys London

I was instantly draw to how huge and weird these boots look, and despite purchasing them on a whim and mostly for laughs, they've actually become my favourite work shoes. The 3.5" heel puts me at almost a normal height, and the platform front makes it feel like theres barely a lift at all. After one painful shift, I broke them in and now I feel like I could run a marathon in them. They're my go to for being a great combination of crazy, comfortable, and easy to match with every outfit. 

3) Sakura by Jeffrey Campbell

My inner punk will never die, and when I saw a 70 year old woman try these on and love them, I knew I needed them. The 2" platform is surprisingly easy to walk in because of the ridges cut all the way across the shoe. My favourite thing about these shoes is how soft and comfy they are, you can lace them up really tight and they flex with your feet like a sock. 

4) Nonstop by Steve Madden 

These are super cute, and surprisingly comfortable. The soft leather upper stretches and flexes to fit your foot like a glove, and the chunky heel is really supportive and easy to walk in. They're my girly work shoes. Two things about these though, one, they have no sole! so you need to get shoe grips for the bottom, and two, beware of imitations, there are counterfeit and knock offs of these shoes everywhere that aren't as comfortable or sturdy. Be safe and buy from Capezio ;) 

5) Berk by Michael by Michael Kors 

Real talk though, I bought these for a wedding. But the top zipper closure and plastic construction make them lightweight and supportive on your foot, making the 4" heel, really not a big deal. A best seller by me to brides (in the silver colour) and to bridesmaids. 

6) Nadia by Vagabond

These were a special fall present to myself, to feed my inner punk. They're just so freaking amazing. The top leather is pebbled and beautiful, and they're flannel lined so they're warm and cozy without fur or shearling. They have a side zipper (thank goodness) and a sturdy sole, so I'm excited to wear these into winter time because I think they'll be amazing for the season. They also look great with pants or dresses.
