When I feel even a slight switch of the seasons, I can’t help but overhaul my closet for the next season. This year, I’m trying to show restraint by browsing transitional clothing items instead of sweating in fall and winter pieces, so I’m starting with shoes. I rounded up 10 footwear styles that I can wear from now through the temperature drop, including finds from New Balance, Birkenstock, Ugg, and more, starting at $26.

Shupua Pointed-Toe Ballet Flat
Orig. $31 $26 at Amazon
Flats are truly a seasonless shoe, IMO. They’re comfortable, can be worn for any occasion, and are flexible enough to toss in a bag when your heels pinch in all the wrong places. Shupua’s Pointed-Toe Bow Ballet Flats are my go-to pick, and they’re available in eight colors and prints. The design features a bow-topped pointed toe and a breathable stretchy mesh fabric. A plush insole offers maximum comfort, plus the ribbed edge keeps the shoe from digging into your foot.
New Balance 1906R Sneaker

Growing up, I picked out a new pair of sneakers for school every August. My go-to sneakers for the last nine years has New Balance, aka the brand coveted by supermodels because it effortlessly balances comfort and style and, these 1906R sneakers by the brand are on my fall wish list. They feature a neutral cream base with pops of pastel accents. The insole provides arch support, shock absorption, and added cushioning for maximum comfort with every step, while the outsole provides grippy traction.
