Going Basic: 8 Pairs of Shoes Every Woman Should Have in Their Closet

Jan 25, 2022   •   Kyzia Maramara

We’ve all been guilty of purchasing multiple pairs of shoes and ending up wearing them rarely or not at all. It’s a huge waste of money and closet space. It’s time you downsized your footwear collection by keeping only the basics — pairs you know you’ll wear and never neglect. But keep in mind that if you want to truly go basic, you’ll work with whatever you already have. Check your closet if you’ve already got these 8 pairs of shoes every woman should own. If not, then it’s time for you to upgrade!

 

Cool boots

Switch up your style every now and then and build your collection of boots. Even if local temperatures rarely dip below 20-degrees Celsius, that’s no reason to enjoy an OOTD finished off with cool boots. You can go for the classic Dr. Martens 1460 boots (P10,990) or save a lot of money and get Filipino-made boots that look the same instead. There’s Rob & Mara’s Blake boots (P2,990) available in black, brown, and amaretto. It’s made from 100% premium genuine cowhide leather upper and has ultra-soft cushioned textile footbed for all-day underfoot comfort.

Heels

Via Charles and Keith

Whether you love wearing killer heels or you prefer kitten heels, you should always have a pair in your collection. Heels elevate outfits from simple to elegant. You could even wear jeans and a white shirt paired with heels (and maybe a bold red lip) and you’d look sophisticated. A pair of shoes like the Charles and Keith Lunar New Year Collection: Hailey Buckled Slingback Pumps in Chalk (P2,599) could do just that. The bold broad buckle gives it a touch of edginess.

A post shared by HUE ® Shoes (@huemanila)

Homegrown brand HUE has a wide collection of heels in varying styles and heel height. The Brizia pair in Creme (P1,590) is made from vegan leather with a 3-inch heel. It comes with a long strap that looks elegant wrapped arounnd your ankle.

Via Zara

You can also go for a subtly festive look with Zara’s Sparkly Heeled Shoes (P3,995). Bust these out for formal parties or wear them to date nights with your special someone.

 

Comfy running shoes

A post shared by adidas Philippines (at 🏡) (@adidasph)

Even if you don’t work out or run, it’s a good idea to own a pair of running shoes. These are designed to be so comfortable so you can walk around in it all day without hurting your feet. They’re perfect for traveling!

The new adidas Adistar (P6,500) was designed with runners in mind. Designed to strike soft and push forward from the first step to the distant last one, the new adidas Adistar features a cushioned collar and tongue combined with an engineered mesh upper – made in part with Parley Ocean Plastic. It offers a package of support and protection combined with a consistent rocking motion that creates a rhythmic flow from stride to stride. It also looks so cool with three colorway options — black/white/gray, turbo/hazel sky/almost pink, and grey six/sandy beige met/hazel sky.

Via World Balance

On a budget? World Balance has a more affordable selection of performance shoes you can check out. Their black-and-white Tresna L shoes(P2,099) can be worn to the gym or as your stylish everyday footwear.

Mules

A pair of mules could instantly turn an outfit from boring to classy, especially if they’re designed with buckles. Take the white tee and jeans combo for example. Paired with mules and a few pieces of jewelry, it could transform a lazy outfit into a classy Parisian fashion. Pair your mules with any outfit — jeans, leggings, trousers, skirts, shorts — practically your whole OOTD!

Check out the Straightforward Do It Premium Mules (P3,499) or the more affordable Straightforward Premium DVL Modern Mules (P1,499).

Another great option is the Rob & Mara Celeste mules (P1,880) available in brown, white, and black. It’s made from 100% premium genuine cowhide leather for durable comfort and long-lasting wear. Plus, it’s Marikina-made so you know it’s going to last you a long time.

 

Classic white sneakers

You can probably forget all the other shoes on this list but not the classic white sneakers. It would be a crime to not have a reliable pair in your shoe cabinet. White sneakers not only go well with everything — dresses, skirts, jeans, and on some occasions even gowns — but they’re pretty comfortable too. Check out homegrown brand Straightforward’s Superlight White Sneakers collection (P2,500). These sneakers have different colored heel tab options for that added pop of color that’s still minimalist.

Another awesome local brand is Sanbera with its Marikina-made Sanbera Real Classic White Sneakers (P2,295). It’s got a double canvas upper for extra durability and a sustainable natural rubber midsole and outsole. And if you ever need insole replacements, you can get Sanbera’s Coco-Coir insoles (P150) made from natural coconut fibers and upcycled materials woven by talented weavers from Quezon Province.

A post shared by BALTHAZAR (@balthazarshoes)

Balthazar’s Avery sneakers (P4,390) is another great local brand option. This pair is made from premium full-grain leather with removable cushioned insoles.

 

Basic ballet flats

A post shared by POSH Pocket Shoes (@poshpocketshoes)

There are days when you just can’t be bothered to slip into sophisticated footwear. Keep things simple and comfy with basic ballet flats. Posh Pocket Shoes has cracked the code when it comes to ballet flats. They’ve got a collection that’s tried and tested by so Filipinas everywhere. Go for the Pointy Basic (P1,450), Daily Shoe (P2,500), and Pointy Bow (P1,450) if you’re feeling extra. Each pair is handcrafted in Marikina and features soft, double padded insoles. Posh Pocket Shoes normally sell out fast but you can reach out to them on Instagram to inquire about pre-orders.

 

Statement shoe

Via Zara

Here’s another pair of shoes every woman should own. Every girl needs a statement shoe — a pair that’s so bold it’s eye-catching. Although you might find it tricky to come up with an OOTD that will complement these shoes, it’s still an exciting challenge mixing and matching. Statement shoes could be anything from heels to sneakers to boots. Wear the Zara Sequinned High Heel Slingback shoes (P3,995) to parties, the Charles and Keith Rhys Coloured Sole Chelsea Boots​ in Lime (P4,499) on gloomy days in the metro, or any other bold, textured, and patterned footwear. Just have fun with it!
