Top Picks
Here are some of my favorite picks (and why they’re worth every cent):
1. Adidas Runfalcon 5 (Women & Men)
The “I actually walk 10,000 steps a day” shoe. Lightweight, comfy, and looks more expensive than it is. I have these in white and beige and have worn them around the world at this point!
2. Adidas Swift Run 1.0 (Unisex)
Knit upper = clean, polished look. Great for airport fit pics.
3. Dream Pairs Knee-High Riding Boots (Women)
Rich-auntie energy for under $60. They look way more luxe than they have any right to. I have these and love them so much. A big part of the reason I bought them was because of the affordable price.
4. Adidas X PLR Path (Men)
Sporty but stylish. Lightweight. Under $50. Best value Adidas currently offers.
5. Lucky Brand Basel Bootie (Women)
A best-seller for a reason — suede perfection.
Comfort level: “Did I just walk on air?” Looks casual but not sloppy.
6. Cushionaire Lane Recovery Slide (Women)
Eden has these slides and loves them so much. Cloud-like. Under $30.
7. Reef Cushion Vista Slide (Women)
The dressy slide you’ll wear everywhere from beach trips to brunch. I wear the Reef brand a lot because of the arch support.
8. Adidas VL Court 3.0 (Women & Men)
Throwback skate style that feels super on-trend. Plus, depending on what kind of activity you are up to they have are reinforced for extra stability during sideways movement.
Whether you’re looking for travel shoes, office shoes, date-night shoes, or “I just want to look like I have my life together” shoes, here are our picks under $100 that look like you paid more, because we’re classy on a budget.
