The adage “you get what you pay for” applies to many, many things, but none perhaps more so than shoes. In college and my early 20s, I’m embarrassed to admit that I mindlessly cycled through pairs of inexpensive “going-out” heels from fast-fashion culprits like H&M and Zara that didn’t last more than a handful of wears. Not great! And the thing is, designer shoes are prohibitively expensive. I wish they weren’t. I really do. But in my experience, all of my investments have more than paid off. Now that I’m older and wiser, one of my go-to fancy shoe brands is without a doubt Stuart Weitzman. The brand has mastered the combination of stylish, sexy, and timeless — and honestly, what more could I ask for with my shoes? Over the past few years, I’ve amassed a small collection of pumps, boots, sandals, and more — including two pairs I plan on wearing for my wedding, which I recently nabbed at nearly half off, after stalking the brand’s SW Outlet page. (We love a cost-conscious bride!)
From buttery suede boots to glittery pointy-toe pumps, Stuart Weitzman’s outlet page has tons of styles at scarily good prices. Are they still expensive? Compared to fast-fashion brands, yes, but trust me — the quality is head and shoulders above the $50-and-below crowd. (Besides, breaking down the cost per wear of a $250 pair of boots that you’ll wear all winter long will likely be a smarter choice in the long run — you don’t need girl math to figure that out.)
Like most sale sections, quantities and sizes tend to be limited, and popular styles will likely be the first to sell out. To help you shop the best of the best, we’ve scoured the pages of shoes to bring you the need-to-shop styles that you’ll love for years to come.
A good boot won’t just keep your feet warm — it’ll do so in style. With plenty of winter left, do yourself a favor and upgrade your shoe collection with an elevated Chelsea boot (or ones adorned with micro pearls!) or a dramatic knee-length silhouette for leveling up a date night ‘fit.

Whether you’re going to a fancy event or looking for a sensible office heel, SW has you covered. From smooth leather to suede, glossy patent to sparkles, the brand has mastered the art of the pump. I’m partial to a classic pointed-toe style, but I recently splurged on some shimmery mesh slingbacks that are like a fashion girl’s Cinderella slipper. (And surprisingly comfortable!)

Depending on where you live, sandal season might be a few months away — but you can never be too prepared, right? If I’ve learned anything from years as a shopping editor, it’s that you need to strike while the iron’s hot when it comes to sale items that are A) in stock, B) in your size, and C) at the right price (price trackers are a free, incredibly helpful tool to make sure you’re getting the best bang for your buck). Come summer, you’ll be glad you did.
