In My Brooklyn Neighborhood, These 5 Winter Shoes Are All That Matter

I love my Brooklyn neighborhood. It’s warm and inviting and a great break from full days of being in the city. I especially love taking a stroll near the park and seeing all the cool outfits my stylish neighbors are wearing. In the winter, the outfits get even better. Their interesting layers and fun accessories make their looks quite chic, but what really makes their outfits stand out to me are their shoes.

These stylish Brooklyn residents are wearing outfits that are vision-board worthy. I’m always catching myself taking a mental note of what they're wearing, and sometimes will even ask where an item they’re wearing is from, especially their shoes. I’ve found that many of these cool dressers have been wearing the same trends, and trust me, they’re all fashionable and blend into everyone’s style easily.

If you’re in the market for new shoes this winter, keep scrolling to shop the cool trends I’ve seen in my neighborhood.

Kitten-Heel Ankle Boots

Kitten heels are one thing, but kitten-heel boots for the winter are absolutely fabulous to add to an outfit. Schlepping through the city in high-heeled boots sounds like a bit of a nightmare, which is why the kitten-heel detail is ideal (and very stylish).

Croc-Embossed Boots

Croc-embossed boots are so chic to me. The texture adds an interesting, eye-catching vibe to an otherwise plain winter look. So if you’re more of a minimalist dresser, I highly recommend adding a pair of croc-embossed boots to your shoe rotation.

Flat Leather Loafers
