How-To Step Up Your Style With Comfort—Try These Eight Shoes For Fall

Back-to-school often means back to a lot of walking around. With retiring your summer slides and platform sandals, comes the excitement of picking out shoes for the fall months. As an advocate for practical fashion, comfort is always a factor in my purchases, especially for the fall and winter months.

Whether you’re walking, biking or even running to get to class, style doesn’t always have to be left behind in order to help you get where you need to go! The right pair of heels can be easy to walk in and your running shoes don’t have to look like your workout shoes.

These shoes featured by our Style Gurus on the #StyleGuruLove Instagram tag show how functional and photogenic can be possible! Try out these styles this semester for a cute look without forfeiting your ability to get around campus.
