At 50 years old, I’m only wearing functional comfortable shoes. My holy grail flats I’m wearing are Birkenstock Boston clogs 😂. I’m into the street wear footwear like all the cool sneakers. I have the Sambas and Gazelles.
I loved hearing about your son, Gage. I remember watching your videos when your children were little. I can't believe how much he has grown! Love your channel, Erin!!
I love shoes and have bad feet these days and it's hard to find comfort and style , but this video gave me hope. Thank you, Erin, and always excited when you post a video. I hope your holidays are peaceful and beautiful. Congrats to your son, awesome!
walking everywhere you must try Veronica Beard tennis shoes! Amazing! I am 57 and swear by them! yes I know they aren't flats but they are what everyone should wear when walking and traveling! Enjoy your 15 year old being home! I have two children, my son Nate is in law school he is 25 and my daughter, Kennedy is 24 and working in cooperate America. Three days a week in office! Life only gets better as you watch your children grow. We are all meeting in Colorado next week and I can hardly contain myself!!
I look forward to this video every season! Thank you! Always great style picks and brands. I have a pair of Naturalizer Mary Janes. No break in period and they can look stylish with wide leg jeans. But at 5’2” I do prefer a little heel. 😊
I come from the era of skilled workers: "Cobbler" or Shoe Repair still exists! One can have their favorites restored. New Soles, Heels, Zippers, Polished was & is possible. Expensive/ Inexpensive footwear can be brought back to life... Search your area... I've been benefitting from this skilled labor for decades. 👍🏾😘
I love Vivaia Margot Maryjane’s. They’re very comfortable. I’m 57 and love to wear them with my jeans. Converse Runstar sneaker in burgandy and Adidas Spezials in suede are my fashion sneakers of choice right now, very comfortable. I also love loafers. Thursday Boot Company is my go to for loafers and boots. Birkenstocks are all year round staples for me as well. Many many pair of Birks.
I can’t tell you how excited I was to see a new video from you Erin !!! Yay 🎉 love when you talk about shoes ! I would love to see a new makeup tutorial from you Erin and maybe a hair one too ?!? Love when you do those !!! that would be so great !! 💄👩🦳💋
I had a pair of tall black boots for a long time and I literally wore them to DEATH, and alas, I had to part with them, BUT I just got a new pair, because I missed my old ones so much! I literally went three years without them, and so I used my brown ones, which I found I didn’t like wearing as much as the black. They just make your dresses and pants look so nice and they look a little sexy, too, and at 62, I still like to look a little sexy when I dress up, Hahaha!😆 😂 I am loving the lower heeled dress shoes these days and there are so many shoes now that have the smaller heels. I especially like the kitten heels. Great video Erin.
J. McLaughlin offers great looking shoes == especially the classic loafer. Agree flats don't provide much support but I find this brand very comfortable. Great video and congrats to Gage!
I haven't worn any of my heeled booties yet this fall but I moved them to our main doorway to remind me that they are an option. The only one I have that wasn't mentioned are the winter boots purely for function.
Yessss, the video I've been wanting for. 🤸🏼♀️ I don’t like or wear flats. I will be purchasing new boots and sneakers. My son is your age. Congrats Gage!
Hi beautiful Erin! I also watched your children grow up on your channel and I can’t believe how Gage has turned into this tall teenager! This is such a great video. Regarding flats, I developed plantar fasciitis in both my feet due to wearing non supportive shoes too often and definitely wearing flats did not help. Also , can you please share your lip color? I love it! 💄💋
Thank you very much Erin 💐 this is soooo useful advice, as always in your videos! I have more than enough many shoes, however, with most I always had to think about with what I have to wear with them. Sometimes, I had no idea…Such a waste of time, effort and money. I am glad that in the meantime, very nice chic and walkable brown booties are on the way to me, very kind of you, Erin ☺️. Looking forward to your next video, greetings from Europe.
I will suggest for anyone looking for flats and who needs comfort, the brand allbirds. They are simple, cute and *so* comfortable. The only pair of shoes I have ever worn right out of the box with no blisters or discomfort. The pair I first ordered was a little small so I exchanged them (all online) and the process was so easy. Wonderful company.
I’m looking for a tan bootie to wear with lighter jeans and pants ( but I walk everywhere so they have to be comfortable). Have to mention you look beautiful. Could we please get a skincare video in the future? ❤
i Am 57 and wear my ivory Mary Jane’s. in San Francisco all the time. Lots of mid life women do! It depends how you style them. If you wear them with slightly masculine modern/ wide leg jeans or modern tailored trousers it’s a juxtaposition / kind of the wrong shoe theory at play and it totally works IMO🎉
Thanks for another great video :) I've been having trouble finding the right knee high boot because the boot shaft comes up short (even the "over the knee" boots) - are there boots/brands that have shaft height of 17" or greater that don't hug the leg too tight (like the S.W 5050's) as I'd like to be able to tuck pants in to them like you mentioned! Otherwise, I've really enjoyed the Vivaia square toe ballet flat. Ballet flats generally pinch/squish and make my feet tire too quickly but these are waterproof, washing machine safe, and I've been able to walk all day sight seeing in them. First pair of ballet flats I've been able to wear daily. They're on the more casual side, but do smarten up more casual clothing items like jeans and T's.
Here's a few boots for you to check out, Natalie! Vince Camuto | go.magik.ly/ml/27c95/ Marc Fisher LTD | go.magik.ly/ml/27c99/ Schutz | go.magik.ly/ml/27c9d/ Thanks for sharing your favorite flats and thanks so much for watching! xo
Erin!! I love your videos!! 🎉🎉I don’t agree that black is th most versatile boot color for true spring coloring with light hair and skin with warm undertones. I don’t own much black anymore. Same with chocolate brown. Too dark and not at all harmonious with my light hair - i feel like the warmer browns/camel/dark camel/ sand color/ nude and ivory look way more harmonious with my hair - not black! it’s too heavy - just my 2 cents
I have AGL flats sooo comfortable and good support! I do NOT like the spanx heels/sneakers. I would just rather do nice upscale sneakers, IMHO! Love your content, thank you!! ❤
Check out mid-calf boots! They'll act as a knee high for you and won't be at that uncomfortable "too-high" level you're describing. Here's a great pair: rstyle.me/+Vy6G5zQCPDdcZwl0lkqffw Another nice slouchy style: go.magik.ly/ml/27c58/ Hope this helps on your search! xo

Could You Please recommend where I can buy boots for wide feet.
Thank You for all of your Great Information.
Hi beautiful Erin! I also watched your children grow up on your channel and I can’t believe how Gage has turned into this tall teenager!
This is such a great video.
Regarding flats, I developed plantar fasciitis in both my feet due to wearing non supportive shoes too often and definitely wearing flats did not help.

Best shoe video. Thank you! ❤

Off topic I know, but you look amazing Erin! 🤩😍
Aw, thanks so much!! Have a great rest of your week! xo
I love a supportive shoe but I do love my Tieks. for a ballet flat. I can wear them all day.
I can’t find comfortable flats either!!!
Can you show us how to clean are shoes and fix any Scoff marks that need to be repaired.
Thanks for another great video :) I've been having trouble finding the right knee high boot because the boot shaft comes up short (even the "over the knee" boots) - are there boots/brands that have shaft height of 17" or greater that don't hug the leg too tight (like the S.W 5050's) as I'd like to be able to tuck pants in to them like you mentioned!

That's totally fine! You should always adjust all style tips and inspiration to fit YOU best. Thanks for sharing your own favorites! xo
I don't like toe cleavage either, but never heard a stylist say that. Love it!
Can't stand it!!
I have AGL flats sooo comfortable and good support!
I do NOT like the spanx heels/sneakers. I would just rather do nice upscale sneakers, IMHO!
Love your content, thank you!! ❤
Thanks so much for sharing! I used to have clients buy AGL flats just kinda forgot about them. 😉
Thanks for sharing, Claudia!! xo
I have ankle injury issues so cannot wear heals... Is there a dressy type of bootie with a super low supportive heal??
Love this, Erin! Can you please share link to (brand of) your middle finger ring?
Thanks so much for watching! Here's the link to shop the ring I was wearing: go.magik.ly/ml/27c8q/
Are there any black Chelsea boots that are not so heavy? Every pair I have tried on feel so heavy.
No ballet flats and no stiletto type of heel for me, never did and never will! There are much better options 😊
Do you have the link to the black short boots with buckles by minute 20 in the snow?

I’m petite and I have issues with knee high boots because they go past my knees to an awkward place, not over the knee and not knee high.
Check out mid-calf boots! They'll act as a knee high for you and won't be at that uncomfortable "too-high" level you're describing. Here's a great pair: rstyle.me/+Vy6G5zQCPDdcZwl0lkqffw

I hardly ever wear flats other than my sneakers. Flats I guess for me would be a flat boot or sneakers. I just think they do not look good on my foot.

Thanks for watching, Cristina! xo
