Editors' Fall Shoe Picks

Christian Louboutin Pumps

"This shoe is a perfect twist on the traditional mary jane. The color and fabric will take me from day to date, and I'll wear them now and well into next spring. I can't resist the extra inches I get from a super tall platform!"

- Sabrina Strelitz, Editorial Assistant

Lanvin Pumps

"I'm over-the-moon for the hyper-polished, ultra feminine looks that went down the fall/winter runway, so these Lanvin pumps would be my go-to autumn shoe. These have a slight edge to them so they are classic and modern. I'd wear them with a little black dress or pencil skirt."

- Suzanne Karotkin, Senior Design Editor

Emanuel Ungaro Sandals

"The designer for Ungaro, Esteban Cortazar, is a genius! The tree-branch detail on the heel is so unique and pretty, and the zipper detail is sexy. I love the deep green color -perfect for fall. I'd wear them with tights or bare legs in warmer weather."

Balenciaga Booties

"I'm obsessed with Balenciaga's fall shoes! I love the new pointy toe and contrasting colors. I'd wear them with baggy jeans for day or a skirt and tights at night. And the color combination is perfect-they're neutrals and will go with nearly everything in my wardrobe."

Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci Sandals

"This shoe combines two of my favorite fall trends-metallic color and a wedge heel. I'd wear them as shown with black opaque tights and a skirt or dress or with black pants. They're bold and give height without the pinch of stilettos."
