This adorable plastic heel easily passes for a Melissa style. The wide, single-band upper and 2-inch block heel make it both comfy and sturdy. This style is so popular, inventory is dwindling in certain colorways, but this classic black is available in a full size run and is sure to complement a variety of fall outfits.

These flat slides combine a tasteful braided upper (a Bottega Veneta signature) with a contoured footbed. There are five different colors to choose from (each come in both medium and wide widths), any of which are versatile enough to be worn with pretty much any summer-into-fall outfit. (If you’re looking for a similar but more refined option, try the Carissa slide.)

I'm honestly shocked to see such a subversively high-fashion take from Target — even close up, I'd mistake these mules for some old-school Celine. They have a 1.75” flatform outsole, memory foam insole, and clunky-chic upper that’s really calling my name right now.

The square toe makes this basic ballet flat a real stand-out. They have a cushioned insole, a just-right vamp (not too short, not too long), and come in so many colors you could do a different one each day of the week and then some. Nab these instead of those pricy Repettos and call it a day.

A faux-suede Birkenstock clone at a fraction of the price, these close-toed mules have a round toe, adjustable instep strap, a comfort footbed, and come in three neutral colorways that will go with just about anything.

Not a bad stand-in for Dries Van Noten’s classic square-toe boot, this faux-leather ankle boot has 2.75” block heel for lift, a cushioned lining, and a stretch shaft (with inside zip) for extra wearability.
