In our recent coverage of comfortable dress shoes, publicist Natalie Rao recommended this stylish chunky boot from Stuart Weitzman. “I’ve tried it on and can confirm it is so comfortable and could work for winter events, the office, and nights out with friends.” We found a number of reviews on the brand’s website that support this claim, with customers praising its supportive design for logging city miles. The luxury hybrid boot pairs Nappa leather with a stretch fabric material for added give in the upper and has a reasonable 2.4-inch heel that offers both sophistication and practicality. It’s made in Spain.
Promising reviews: “I have big feet and bunions, so my options for shoes are limited. I tried these on, and they felt like magic. The leather is so high-quality and soft at the same time, they fit me well but also the regular foot size person at the store who also had them on. They’re versatile and beautiful, fun and edgy. I’ve worn them a few times and they maintain comfort even through an NYC commute. Highly highly recommend! I went down half a size from my norm.” —Lejla
“I wore (only) these boots for an entire 5-day trip in NYC. They were comfortable to wear all day, including during long stretches of walking. They worked with multiple casual and semi-dressy clothing options. They were plenty warm though not stifling.” —Liz
“These are everything I had hoped for and more. So comfy. So stylish. Size down a half of a size. I’ve worn these to commute, and they’re comfortable enough to do so. Highly recommend.” —Lyndsay
Get them from Stuart Weitzman for $357 (originally $595; available in women’s sizes 5–13 and three widths).
