I am decidedly a shoe queen and own more pairs than I would like to admit. Growing up, shoes were the thing that I could consistently count on fitting me because y’all…the plus-size options of the ’90s were very very limited. Needless to say, my shoe game was strong, and you could always find me rocking the trendiest styles. When Stuart Weitzman reached out and asked us to take a peek at their new pre-fall arrivals, I fell in love with more than one. (Okay, twelve…I fell in love with twelve.)

Stuart Weitzman Shoe Love: 12 Swoon-Worthy Pairs

These shoe styles are great for summer and can easily transition you into the fall as well. We’re talking beautiful animal prints, a block-heeled sandal that’s a great match for my skin tone, amazing sneak-adrilles (more on that below), and my personal fave, these gorgeous loafers.

If you’re new to shopping Stuart Weitzman or maybe you have those gorgeous OTK boots S has worn season after season, let me give you some tea on this seriously stellar brand. Their ethos as a company is “Strength in Femininity,” and they strive to put their best foot forward (no pun intended) by blending fashion and comfort. Stuart Weitzman designs each shoe to empower women with both confidence and comfort, and who better to have as their 2020 global spokeswoman than Serena Williams?! When I saw Serena rocking the MANILA Signature Loafer, I was instantly sold.

Serena’s strength, power, commitment to empowering others, and of course, her trendsetting nature are all so admirable. When I wear Stuart Weitzman, I feel sexy and confident. You can catch me rocking the JUANITA Sandal all summer long, but any of these shoes would be an amazing buy…

1. The MARGUERITA Wedge Espadrilles

I love a good wedge, and these have an added touch of love. The MARGUERITA wedge has a handwoven rope sole made with natural fibers — be sure to click through to see that attention to detail. Personally, I think wedges are a great alternative to heels and they add that extra “something” to summer dresses. I would pair these with a simple sundress and gold jewelry for a picnic or fancy brunch with the gals.


2. The MANILA Signature Loafer

These loafers were love at first sight for me! Of all the shoes in this roundup, I think these are the most versatile for spring, summer and fall. These shoes have such an incredible design — I love the gold hardware on the tassels and the black chunky lug sole. Typically shoes like these have a lot of heft, but the lug soles are lightweight and perfect for all-day wear. The MANILA is both a statement shoe while also having that timeless vibe. I would wear this gorg loafer with a cute pair of straight leg jeans, a basic white top, and a sleek black blazer to tie in with the sole of the shoe. I personally think these are show-stoppers and 100% worth the investment.


3. The ALEXANDRINE 50 Sandal

Finding nude shoes that match my skin tone can certainly be a challenge, but these sandals are a perfect shade for me. This style also comes in a classic navy blue and has a low block heel that makes them easy to wear for hours on end. Another thing to love is the chic square-toe (one of the biggest trends in sandals right now), so click-through for more photos.


4. The ALETHA 50 Sandal

These black-heeled sandals are timeless. This style of shoe is one of my most-worn for work and for those moments when I want to elevate an otherwise simple denim look.


5. The JUANITA Sandal

Comfy slides with crystal-encrusted double-buckle hardware?! Yes, please! These are so fun for summer and fall, and I love the added detail on the buckles. It brings that Bling Factor, and I am loving the whole vibe. I have a pair of these on the way, so I’ll be sure to share them on The Mom Edit IG when they arrive. I would pair these slides with jeans, a graphic tee, and a black leather jacket for those chilly days.


6. The LULAH Mule

I love a good pair of mules, but I don’t think I’ve ever tried heeled mules! The LULAH is so unique and comes in six different colors (I’m especially in love with the White Croc). Personally, I’d wear a heel like this all day….they say “elevated work shoes” to me, and I think they’d look amazing with an all-black suit and layered gold jewelry for that Boss Babe vibe. When (or if) I ever go back to working in an office, that would be the outfit I would wear for my return!


7. The IVONA Sandal

I am totally here for this platform heel, ’70s moment. I love these SO much — that pine green suede is giving me life. Since Stuart Weitzman shoes are notoriously comfortable, I can imagine dancing the night away in these! These could be fun for a day date, too. I’d pair them with a long pair of flared jeans, a crisp white button-down, and colorful costume jewelry. Transitioning these babes into fall would be fun with a cute midi skirt, a graphic tee and for the ultimate ’70s moment…a pair of tube socks!


8. The YULIANA 60 Boot

I struggle HARD to find a boot that isn’t a quite bootie and works with my very large calf muscles, but this mid-calf boot is perfect. It’s a stretch boot, which means it’s versatile for a variety of people. I love the camel brown python pattern, too! This boot would pair perfectly with leggings and a white tunic. For cooler days, add a black duster on top. Done.


9. The ZOELIE Sandal

The ZOELIE sandals have an elevated sporty look that I love. This was a pretty big trend I noticed last summer, and I think it’s here to stay. I would pair these with a pair of my beloved biker shorts, a fun graphic tee and a jean jacket. These are so cool for summer and would wear well into the fall, too.


10. The DARYL Sneaker

I love a good sneaker and personally think they are an absolute must-have for every wardrobe. They can be worn with jeans, a fun midi skirt or my personal fav…with a knit dress. Sneakers are essential, and you can’t go wrong with these 40% off DARYL sneakers.


11. The ZUZU Wedge

The ZUZU wedges are a summer staple — a classic shoe that can be worn for many, many years. I would style these wedges with a pair of paper bag shorts, a ruffled crop top with some stellar hoops, and a cute headband.


12. The DARYL Espadrille Sneaker

Move over cronuts and jorts — the “sneak-adrille” has arrived. I’ve always been a fan of all things portmanteau and now there is a new girl in town — and I’m naming her sneak-adrille. I love a good sneaker and also have several pairs of espadrilles, and when I saw these two iconic shoes marvelously engineered into one, I was totally hooked.
