What shoes are we wearing???? I love vans for everyday shit kickin’ but what about something a click nicer to go with, say, a sun dress? Still need comfort because duh. I’m a mid 30s mom and walk a lot but still want something to fit my elder emo aesthetic.

I like platform sandals, feels like a step up. Journeys has a couple cute pairs w/ buckles.

I don’t know if they’re in style anymore but I still love docs or blundstones with a dress.

Honestly, I just wear vans with a nice pattern with my dresses. There's also this shoe brand called Hot Chocolate that sells SUPER cute maryjanes.

Docs for sure, or any kind of boots for a sophisticated look

Birks, platform Doc Martens sandals or similar (don't sleep on Dr Scholl's, every so often they come out with a killer alt platform sandal, I'm still going strong on mine purchased 3 years ago), Blundstones when you need closed-toed shoes in the summer.

I just discovered Nike Air Force 1s with sundresses and holy crap. I call em my grampa skater shoes. But also it gives weird 00s-cool-girl vibes as well?

Idk but I dig it, pop a pair of arch supports in there and I'm walkin on floofy clouds all DAY. ;)

I use these, and I ADORE them! They mold to your foot after a couple of wears and are crazy comfortable. Most of my closet is earth toned, so they go with just about everything, but especially summer dresses and skirts
