Boredom can strike at any moment (you can only watch so many episodes of Real Housewives in a row, right?), so we suggest using your sacred downtime wisely and indulging in a little guilt-free shoe shopping. To help you along, we chose 43 pairs for you to ease your boredom and boost your wardrobe. Luckily, some of the best shoes on the market right now happen to be some of the easiest on the wallet.
We’re particularly fond of a pair of snake-embossed ankle boots by Mango that look designer, a pair of Adidas It sneakers, and plenty of cool Western boots—and while some of these shoes are particularly on trend for the season, others are classic and timeless. Your boredom level, shoe collection, and wallet will all thank us. Keep scrolling to shop your boredom away.
