Alright ladies, I've scoured through hundreds and hundreds of shoes and hand-picked over 30 pairs I love! Yup - I'd wear every single pair of the shoes below. I chose all these from Nordstrom because shipping is free and returns are free. I literally will buy 6-7 pairs, keep the ones I like and send back the rest since we don't have a Nordstrom in NYC and it's *so* easy. The free return label is already in the package, just slap it on the box and send them out! Enjoy and let me know what Melanie's Picks post you'd like to see next!

Mules & Slides

One || Two || Three || Four || Five || Six || Seven || Eight || Nine

Mules have made a huge comeback the past few seasons and are clearly here to stay. Whether it's a close-toe or a classic slide, flat or chunky heel, in a neutral or embroidered, the mule is a safe bet for spring. 

Chunky Wedges

One || Two || Three || Four || Five || Six

No sandal season is complete for me without a great pair of comfortable wedges (receipts here & here). The key is having an ankle strap to really lock your foot in and make them the kind of wedges you can walk in all day. With boot-cut, flare and wide-leg pants coming back in full swing, these are going to be *essential* this spring.

Pastel Ankle Strap Sandals

One || Two || Three || Four || Five || Six || Seven || Eight || Nine

I love me a good ankle strap heel. They're so sophisticated and look amazing on a sleek, tapered pant. To update this classic for spring, I rounded up my favorite pastel pairs - some are classic and some have a twist - any pair you choose will take your outfit to the next level. 

Flats & Loafers

One || Two || Three || Four || Five || Six || Seven || Eight || Nine

Heels not your thing? Take your pick from one of these killer flats and loafers. Flats don't have to boring! Score some major style points while striding comfortably all day - extra points for a pair that are sparkly or incorporate luxe fabrics like velvet or leopard calf hair.
