When I think of a chic shoe, I naturally think of literally any pair of designer shoes I can't afford. While that certainly doesn't have to be the case as proven here, here, and here, sometimes splurging on a chic pair of designer shoes is just what the doctor ordered. But, in case you've got a different prescription, we found just the loophole you'll need to satisfy your designer cravings and your budgeting needs. Curious where we found them? Three words: The RealReal.
If you aren't familiar with The RealReal, it's a luxury resale site where you can find pre-loved (as I like to call it) designer goods including everything from Louis Vuitton luggage to Prada headbands, but today we're focusing on solely all the best designer shoes we could find for the fall season ahead. Instead of splurging on the latest and greatest, sometimes it's wise to take a step back and see what else your money can get you that's just as good. Ready to see our picks? Go on, then—scroll! Because I can promise you this—if you don't buy them, someone else will and then you'll regret it.
