Finding the perfect pair of shoes can be quite an ordeal and take more than one step. Check out these locations to find your dream pair without the nightmare price tag.
Aldo
A store devoted entirely to shoes and accessories, Aldo is a great store for those who are seeking cute footwear at reasonable prices. The shoes are of lesser quality than brand name ones, yet they’re also cheaper than brand name ones. They seem to continually refresh their inventory with new, hot styles to keep up with the fashion seasons.
For women, Aldo focuses more on dressy shoes such as heels, boots and stylish sandals with a few Oxfords and loafers displayed in the store. For men, loafers, lace-up shoes and boots are the main items, differing in color and occasion. They hold some dress lace-ups and dress loafers for under $100, fit for guys planning on attending prom
Marshalls
This decently priced department store boasts a wide selection of designer shoes that vary in style. I’ve found numerous pairs of heels for dances at Marshalls and the best part is that this department store carries multiple designer names such as Steve Madden and Guess at affordable prices. If you’re looking for exercise shoes, prom heels or even just casual flip flops to wear to the beach, Marshalls is the perfect destination for a variety of needs.
Nordstrom Rack
This outlet holds all the gorgeous shoe styles of Nordstrom, but without the high prices. You can find wedges, stilettos, boots, sneakers, sandals and flats in a seemingly endless supply of footwear by names such as Steve Madden and Ivanka Trump. Designer products are reduced from 20% off to as much as 80% off, which will make your wallet smile.
Online Boutiques
If you’re too lazy to take a trip to the store, have your shoe size in mind and pull out your laptop These two sites are for those who’d rather lay comfortably on a bed at home instead of fighting with someone over a pair of heels on sale. They are both geared towards girls and both have cute collections available.

Nasty Gal’s shoe assortment has more of an edgy feel, made for hipsters and those who are comfortable with standing out in a crowd. This store also holds shoes ranging from boots to sandals and seemingly everything in between, including an abundance of platform shoes. Steve Madden and Jeffrey Campbell brands are available on this site, regularly priced.
tobi.com
The more inexpensive of the two, Tobi holds a large selection of boots, heels and flats and a limited selection of sneakers. The styles vary, opening the store up to a multitude of fashion senses such as edgy, simple and girly. It’s always risky to buy apparel over the internet, but with free shipping and free returns on all orders, Tobi is definitely worth the risk.
