In today’s video we’ll have a look at my most to least worn shoes living here in Paris and I’ll share with you the reasons why. Hopefully this video will help any women out there who are wondering what type of footwear to wear in Paris, if you’re coming here as a tourist and you’re wondering what are the best types of shoes to wear. Or maybe you just love shoes like I do!
The benefits of us doing a review of our most worn to least worn footwear can really help us to:
- identify which shoes we reach for the most to the least
- to consider the reasons behind our choices
- enable us to become more thoughtful before making any future footwear purchases
- to save money
- to identify if any of our footwear needs repairs or cleaning
- to clean out our shoe-drobes ready for a new season.
I hope this video is useful or inspiring, especially if you love footwear and shoe collection reviews!

The final pair of Gucci loafers that you loved to wear in Sydney all the time but have not reached for in Paris may be an emotional response. Those shoes you loved and reached for all the time in Sydney represents a different life. Now that you are in Paris, you are living another life so to speak. Sometimes we have emotional responses to clothing, (I know I do) and unconsciously makes shifts in our clothing choices because of something the item represents, that in some way doesn't fit our identity currently. Just a few thoughts.
Hi Katrina, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, this really struck a chord with me and I think you're spot on! 💯 Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts because I never considered this could be the reason why but it "fits" so well, very insightful ❤❤❤❤ Wishing you a happy weekend!
You’re so welcome, Lauren! ❤
A New Video from Lauren is the best way to start my morning🌄💗✨ and your videos are always always best🥹
Thank you! wishing you a wonderful day ahead 🌞
I loved this video! You are style goals 😊
Thank you so much, I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it! 😘
I own versions of all that you have except the stiletto scrappy sandals; I no longer need to wear such shoes. I am 73 and ballet flats have been a staple in my wardrobe for decades (I worked in high fashion and dress in a very classic style). I love metallic driving moccasins; they are so comfortable and go with everything. Thank you for sharing!
Hi there, hope you're well and thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. It's great to hear about your preferences and experiences when it comes to footwear too ❤ I think the driving moccasins look lovely, I've always wanted to try a pair so I may put these on my future wish-list 🙂 Hope you're enjoying the weekend and thanks again!
Ha Ha you did make me laugh at the end when you almost leapt out of the screen saying 'I love shoes'. You have a good selection which has made me think I need to do a similar exercise and cull as i go along., love your Gucci beige mules, things do go in and out of our rotations so I'm sure you will enjoy them again.
You look much happier and focused today which I am glad to see. would love to see more of your life your home and wardrobe maybe in the future. keep smiling, you are a lovely person x
Hi there Beverley, happy Sunday! I think you're right, things do go in and out of rotation so will keep them to see if I can get more wear out of them in the future. Good luck with your review and sorting in your shoe collection too, I hope you enjoy it and that it will be useful 💯
Thank you, I'm feeling much better than what I was a few months ago, I think creating videos has been great as it's something I enjoy plus summer has finally arrived so the sunshine is adding to the happier vibes here lately which is nice 😍
I love your beautiful white Chanel mules. Wear them, girl. Shoes are meant to be worn. Just wear and enjoy them. Life it too short. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Irina, thank you for the encouragement and I think you're right - it's too short so I need to enjoy them and not "save them for best" ❤ Happy Monday to you 😘
Such a great video Lauren 😊I am a shoe lover like you! Your video has made me think about my most worn shoes and there is definitely a trend. I also walk and take public transportation to work. I’m most comfortable in sneakers as I like to walk briskly. I have an extensive collection of Nike, Adidas, Hoka and Sézane sneakers. Then my loafers are my next most worn shoes followed by low pumps for work. As I have become older, comfort is key in my shoes with a definite touch of classic elegance. Sling backs and ballerinas in the Chanel style are perfect for a polished work look.
Hi Cristina, thank you, I'm glad you liked this one and to hear you adore shoes as well ❤ How quickly to do you need to buy a new pair of sneakers? I need to replace my two pairs of Lacoste sneakers as they soles are worn down and water gets in when it rains now 🌧 It's great to hear about your most worn and that comfort is so important, I'm definitely moving ore towards that as a priority over recent years as well. Hope you've had a wonderful weekend and that you have plenty of sun arriving up there this coming week 🌞
This is an excellent topic! Thank you 😊
Thank you Linda, I'm happy to hear you liked it ❤ Happy Sunday to you
Thanks for sharing and asking! My Les Tropeziennes, style Hicelot (gladiator) serves me well on sidewalks and cobblestones. Also, in several colors: Isle Jacobsen's Tulip. For dressier yet walkable/danceable- thierry rabotin: Wedge with bow, Grace, & Ziggy.
Hi there, hope you are enjoying the weekend and thank you so much for sharing your faves and recommendations - I'll check be sure to these out online 😍
I am an American living in the south of France and the types of shoes you mention are also the same that I wear here. I would add that here I have great espadrilles that are super comfy and dressy enough for the SOF anyway. Especially a pair I bought at Vivaia. Highly recommend.
Bonjour and happy weekend! It's lovely to hear your thoughts and espadrilles are such a great option - need to add a pair to my collection for summertime! Thank you so much for the Vivaia recommendation as well, much appreciated 💯
That's a collection to aim for! I love my block heel Mary-Janes too.
Thank you! Ah have you seen the block heeled Mary-Janes from Carel Paris? They are very comfortable and popular here in France ❤
@@LaurenGraceHarding Had a quick look thanks Lauren. Beautiful Mary -Janes! Quite out of my league in NZ$ sadly haha.
❤very helpful video! I am a new subscriber, watching from the Los Angeles area, scheduled to visit Paris for my first time in September so this was a very helpful, entertaining video-- thank you!
Hi there, thank you so much for watching and writing 🙏 That's exciting news about your upcoming first visit to Paris soon 😍 How long will you be visiting here? There's so much to see and I'm sure you'll have the best time ❤
@@LaurenGraceHarding we will be on a guided small group tour (with a nice amt of “free” time for exploring on our own) for seven days … we are looking forward to it!
Seven days is perfect and I'm so excited for you! I hope you have the best time 😍
Wow, what a fantastic video! And those tall Chanel boots are 👌🏻🤩
Thank you so much, so happy you enjoyed it 🙂🙏
My shoe choices have definitely changed since I've acquired foot problems. I never wear my Chanel ballet flats or my Ferragamo ballet flats as they don't offer enough support. Your collection is lovely and very chic. Paula x
Hi Paula, thanks for making the time to share and sorry to hear you've acquired some foot problems, I hope you're managing okay ❤❤❤
So great, that You found Your favourite shoes and boots. Some are more practically, others more beautiful. Maybe Nr. 15 (Loafers) could get back to Australia, and wait for You, whenever You should come. Maybe You only love them there. If not wearing the flat sandals instead.
And yes, the distances in Paris are best to master with comfortable shoes, like the sneakers. While the high boots look amazing and great for the winter. So great, that You feel good with them as well. Thank You for sharing; have a wonderful new week 😍👞👟🥿👠🩰❤
Hi Marcel, hope your week has started off great! Thank you for the idea, I could probably take the loafer mules back to Australia when I return for Christmas this year...it's a good suggestion and something to consider!
Thanks for making to time to watch and message, I appreciate it! Happy Monday to you 🙏🌞😘
@@LaurenGraceHarding Thank You; for You too 😘🥰💐
I have a suggestion! Since you mentioned that you might want to purchase another pair of ballet flats, maybe you could go into the Repetto store and show us around while you try on their ballet flats, which I have heard are very comfortable - and very French.
Hello and happy Sunday 🌞 This is a wonderful suggestion, thank you! I know Repetto is an adored French footwear brand, especially for their ballet flats ❤ I haven't tried any on so will need to check them out for sure!
I love my Repettos! They are super comfortable but less structured than the Chanel ones.
Is there a particular style of Repetto flats you can recommend? I think this is the brand of ballet flats which Brigitte Bardot loved 😍
@@LaurenGraceHarding I think the Cendrillons are the iconic ones.
Thank you, this is very helpful!
You have a stylish, beautiful and practical collection of shoes. ❤
Thank you, that's so lovely of you ❤️
I think in my shoe “collection” both my sketchers are most worn and also most useful comfortable for the streets. Variety of shoes with different occasions is good to spread out what the best wear fit and style depending on the occasion. Anyways hope your doing well and stay hydrated because I am in our first heat wave
Couldn't agree with you more on that, Irvin 💯 Hope you are staying cool and hydrated 🌞 and managing to enjoy the weekend.... I think summer officially arrives in Paris this coming week - today it's a beautiful sunny Sunday so I am looking forward to starting summer here finally 😉
@@LaurenGraceHarding summer finally comes and hope it does not bring a ton of bricks in terms of mugginess. Actually I do have to safe this thid down a future topic but places to eat for breakfast/lunch/dinner spots, a food item item in france you like even buy at the grocieries and the baguette. along with you thoughts so far living in france in a food perspective.
I agree with you and hope so too 💯
That's a great suggestion Irvin, thank you! I'll work on including this in a future Paris vlog style video 😍
I have just discovered you - you appeared on my "new to you"link! I have just done my shoe stock take, thanks to you. I too need to repair my long boots, same heel has worn down, obviously the way we walk! Having watched your video, I now realise that I am only happy in my flat shoes or block heels. I am donating five pairs to the charity shop. Three pairs with wedge heels never worn, too high. Two pairs of stiletto's - again not worn, what was I thinking?! I have subscribed - now binge watching your other videos. Keep up the great work.
Hi Anna, thanks for your message, it's lovely to meet you! I'm so happy to hear about your shoe-drobe review 🙂 It's great to hear about the outcome of your shoe stock take and that it's provided some clarity 💯Hope you have a lovely week ahead
I really enjoyed this video, shoes are my favourite. ❤️
Hi there, that's such lovely feedback and so happy to meet another shoe-lover as well 💯 Happy new week 🙂
@@LaurenGraceHarding I have always loved shoes, because it elevates an outfit❤️ also lovely to see another video from you🤗
@Ellie-es4ms you've articulated it perfectly 🥰 they really do elevate an outfit! Thanks so much ❤️❤️❤️
I adore those Ferragamos! And they look so cute on you and the patent leather is lovely. Funny how we don’t reach for something a little out of our comfort zone
Hi Saoirse, thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts! You're right, it's interesting how what we reach for can change... you are encouraging me to pull out the Ferragamo's and wear them more often, thank you 😘
Loved this! I also notice your beautiful channel sling backs had a scuff mark on the heal… but I’m sure channel are able to fix that for you ❤
Hi Dawn, happy Monday to you! Yes I scuffed the slingbacks on the back of the heels 😢 I tend to do this on a lot of my heel shoes so need to be more careful.... I will try to see if I can get them repaired so they look as good as new ❤
Loved this video. My shoes have changed since Covid,… more sneakers and barely wearing “work” shoes. Heels etc…. As I’m getting older I value the ability to walk a lot through the day,… not just from the Carpark to a desk. One question? What has brought you to an expat life in France. What would you recommend for a fellow Aussie wishing to move to France and work there professionally?
Thank you so much, so happy you like it and it's great to hear about how your collection/choices have changed as well...
I shared a video on my journey and why I moved to France plus what I'd recommend to other expats here on my channel last month so that might answer your question better than I can type out here ❤
I love my Lacoste sneakers too, they are the most comfy shoes ❤ Also- September birthday? Are you a fellow Virgo? Awesome content as usual, thank you for another great video!
Hi there Ali, hope you're doing well and thanks for watching and making the time to write! 🙏 Yes, September birthday here! What date is your birthday?! 😍 I'm the 29th, so at the start of Libra - but I have my Mercury in Virgo so mentally I'm very Virgoan 😉
I'm September 12th 😊 our zodiac signs may be different but our love for shoes is very much the same. Looking forward to your videos ❤
Thanks Ali, that's so beautifully written ❤ Happy Sunday to you 😘
Hi, do you find the oran sandals confortable? Many reviews say that they are not for long walks.. I would like to know your opinion. Thanks
Hi there, I would say they are very comfortable especially after wearing them the first summer. With long walks I think this depends on how many hours and if you're hiking, walking around as a tourist or going from your car to the shops or at home. Mine have softened up in terms of the leather upper over the years and I've worn them all day as a tourist but would probably recommend sneakers if you're doing a ton of walking. But in the height of summer, these are my go-to's over sneakers. Hope this helps
Those are barely comfortable and only for you tube videos. Big disappointment. Also, flats with color-block makes your feet look huge, not flattering, this is another misconception.
Geox are known to be very comfortable shoes!
Hi Leena, hope you're well! They certainly are 😍 highly recommend this shoe brand!
Thank you for this video! I need to do the same kind of shorting.
One of my most worn pair is patent leather and mule loafers- I feel like the trend is slowly turning from sneakers toward loafers and other leather shoes so maybe your loafers will do a comeback?
I do not understand why designer houses are not adding rubber soles to shoes in the factory. It might be less luxurious but so impractical. I only buy shoes that have rubber soles now - which means more Geox and less Gucci…
Hi Joy, thank you for watching and happy you liked it!
I hope the trend does turn towards loafers and other leather shoes, I've been reaching for my sneakers so much that I'm beginning to feel uninspired by my choice of footwear most days! It's great to hear you love your loafers ❤
Couldn't agree with you more - I end up getting the rubber protective soles added to most of my footwear except sneakers and it does add additional costs - but it's very worth it as well to protect the footwear!
Girl, wear all your beautiful shoes! Life is short.
Thanks Lisa! 🥰
Chanel ballet flat are not so comfortable in my opinion, beautiful but not comfortable.
