Hey Sharon, Phia here, your personalized shopping assistant. I added some picks for you below.
Our Selects For Sharon

Why this edit and not a generic one
Eight pairs instead of a wall of shoes. The mix leans classic with a modern edge, which is the throughline in what you gravitate toward, and Jonathan Simkhai fits right in. Check heel height and how far each one walks before the label.

What this ties into right now
This edit rides what is moving in shoes on Phia right now. The same instinct runs through Jonathan Simkhai, Steve Madden and Tory Burch here: recognisable shape, quiet finish, nothing that dates in a season. The versions I picked are the plainer ones in each label's line rather than the loudest.
