Step Right Up! Work Shoes On Any Budget

At R29 HQ, we're constantly striving to put our best foot forward. Literally. But, it's all too easy to fall into an office style rut of black pumps and pencil-skirted outfits. (Or, in this editor's case: flared minis and ankle boots.) Drab, repeat styles can seriously affect our mood — and sometimes even our work performance. So, we put on our thinking caps for 24 footwear solutions — including oxfords, heels, boots, and more — to replace those dimensionless 9-to-5-ers (and make our bottom halves feel a thousand times chicer!).

Since not every employer finds glittered loafers and sky-high Sophia Webster stilettos to be office-appropriate, we made extra sure to select shoes that will work for every office environment. The best part? In addition to designer splurges, there are plenty of under-$100 buys to suit even the thriftiest shopper. Click ahead to gift yourself with a pretty new pair. It is the holidays, after all.
