Dropping this at nighttime is diabolical but don't forget to like, comment, and share if you enjoyed this video!

[@soularmars]

some great advice that i found in one of Laini Ozark's videos that came from one of her subscribers was to not buy shoes from a company that does not specialize in shoes. that changed the game for me because after i thought about it, my least comfortable shoes came from clothing companies and not shoe ones.

[@unproductivebestie]

Ooooo, this is a great tip! Never even thought about that! I guess thats why I find Doc martens so comfortable lol

[@bethanymulo]

this is why shoes are something i will splurge on. comfort and style are always worth it

[@unproductivebestie]

!!!😌

[@Fatally]

I'm always hyped for a shoe conversation! Great video. Whenever I'm in a style rut, I'll start my outfit with my shoes. It especially works when you prioritize shoe purchases as exciting shoes for your collection but even works for plainer styles.

[@taniaw.6797]

OMG, you were my RA freshman year I’m glad to see you’re doing well and hope your KZbin career continues to prosper!

[@unproductivebestie]

GIRRRLLLL, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HEEERRRRREEE LMFAOOO😂, BUT Thank you 💞

[@jamilla8588]

i love how practically but creatively u talk and think abt fashion!

[@tashamalan334]

I love videos like this, understanding why you’re buying something and how it fits into your closet is key. I love youtube

[@ItsTylerChanel]

This was so helpful! My friends always say I’m cute from the ankle up. Lol! This will hopefully get my shoe game together 😅

[@unproductivebestie]

Not your friends dragging you😭😩

[@MichaelaFlowers]

I loved this video! It def helped change my perspective on how I buy new shoes or reduce the number I have.

[@sonyazamanskaya8819]

Heeeey I love your way of seeing things and your positivity plus you’re super sweeeeet! Thank you so much for this video✨

[@kale4761]

Always such concise and informative videos! I appreciate how you talk through your decision making instead of just recommending pieces.

[@unproductivebestie]

Ahhh, Thank you so much! Because this is exactly my goal and I always wonder if it sounds unhelpful since I don't give directs but rather a thought process. This makes me so happy to see💞

[@brissaelizabeth2502]

i'm so glad you posted this alot us buy trendy cheap shoes and don't realize the damage we cause to our feet and knees For example, nike airforces tore my feet up !! I got into brooks my feet and my knee's thank me for it all the time. i'll splurge on shoes for me current and future well-being!

[@Skimmer951]

Shoes cant really be fashion for me, i have very sensitive feet that hurt in almost any shoe so i cant really focus on a shoe being cute or to make good outfits around. If its comfortable and i actually can walk in it thats the dealbreaker. I love making outfits but shoes are strictly practical. Im jealous of people who go "pair it with these shoes" and have such a variety...i cant

[@therenatagomes]

I have plantar fasciitis and it’s soooo difficult to find cute shoes that are actually comfortable 😢 Hope the brands start thinking about us soon

[@kerri6011]

I don’t know if your shoes have like shoe laces or are like velcro or just shove it in shoes, but maybe customizing it in some way could help like different shoe laces, pins, etc.

[@crowjams266]

@@kerri6011I was even thinking even styling them with socks or leg warmers would maybe help

[@vivi-ws9yl]

I don't have sensitive feet but I'm very conscious about foot health so I will not buy uncomfortable shoes but damn is it hard to find comfortable shoes and then on top of that try finding some that actually look good😩 it's like they purposely make shoes not fit actual human feet cause wtf

[@simonemoses1081]

I just saw someone posting their small buisness designed for people with bunions and people where ranting and raving about how it also helped their other foot issues. It may be worth sleuthing them out. Also consider just being a sneaker head? Them people always where a sneaker but they have so much variety they are still able to style any look

[@katerynasirko1832]

I have wide feet and it's almost impossible to shop for shoes retail. I have to order them custom made from a shoemaker, and the cost is pretty high accordingly. There is also a problem of living in an apartment that has very little space for shoes - I can afford to have maybe 3-4 pairs per season. And I will spend months putting together a "shoe wardrobe" due to sheer cost and time it takes to have a pair made. This means I have to consider what colour and styles will be easy to style with a lot of my wardrobe and fit my style.

[@Val-8CH]

9:19 If the shoes are made of cheap synthetic materials, they will probably fall apart. I can't speak a ton about sneakers because I don't wear a lot of those. But when it comes to pumps, flats, boots and the like you will have better luck if the upper is made of natural materials (leather, canvas for example), and the sole is made of leather. Typically these kind of shoes are made with the assumption that you will repair them when the sole and heel wears down. So they're usually quite durable.

[@leahwilliams8201]

These are my comfort videos and I’m so proud of you

[@leahwilliams8201]

SO PROUD OF YOUUU😊❤

MY WIFE💕

[@vickisilva555]

this was such a great comprehensive video, love your vibe too 😌

[@u.802]

I looooove your bangles and the sound they make 😍

[@pipelayomimiko]

Tips so good, I had to sub!

[@fashioninventeur]

I think the key terminology you were looking for is "visual weight" for chunky shoes

[@namelast440]

rly needed this vid, my shoe game is tragic rn, especially practical, everyday ones!!

[@florence2430]

Lovely Video! My greatest struggle is to find the perfect shoe type- hem length ratio. Like you said knee high boots with culottes can be incredible whereas ankle boots could look very strange in this combo.

[@lilbeth4804]

But shoes are meant to be worn. I love when a shoes looks well worn. I feel like if a designer shoes look worn sets you off, the value is still in the money and not the experience of wearing a well worn shoe.

[@gal4la]

Amazing advice, lately I’ve been prioritazing comfort as I have fibromyalgia and I have struggle to fine cute and comfortable formal shoes

[@ellenowlin]

just bought a pair of those doc martens jorge ii’s for myself for christmas. love them for their look because they totally change the tone of my outfits! wish they had more of a shaped sole so they would be even more comfortable but oh well

[@unproductivebestie]

Oooo the Jorge II's are so cute, i almost bought th e black leather pair a while back! Which colorway and material did you get and you could always add sole inserts to help with the comfort!

[@ERROR-nx2gu]

As a fellow shoe perfectionist, I usually go for second hand genuine leather. You can get scuffs and light creasing out by just conditioning the leather, so they always look brand new! (The second hand thing is just because they're cheaper though)

[@normamendoza-denton8732]

Boxing sneakers lace up! They are great for wide calves

[@cailynkeely6530]

My favorite pair of sneakers (from a major athletic brand) are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn and once i wear the the tread and the outside wall, i replace them with a new pair. Theyre expensive ($180) but i know the cost per wear is reasonable since I wear them almost every day.

[@strawberrycherrybaby]

Omg my wife is trans so she wears a much larger size than even a typical tall woman (11.5-12 with a wide toe box). This is so helpful ❤

[@aielianna]

yasss I been waiting on this one!

[@02leda]

Fellow women’s 10/10.5 size havers!!!! Such a struggle

[@unproductivebestie]

I swear they don't want us to have anything nice😭 the shoe options for us are so bare sometimes

[@ttries6734]

omg loved the video! Do you know the name of the silver cut out sneakers at 0:11?

[@unproductivebestie]

Thank you and they're Asics Gel-Quantum Lylia! They're sold out on the Asics website though😭

[@anadeszo4392]

[@holicaholicatrinity]

[@KevinUrban-u1z]

Shoes 101 ? How did you know how many pairs of shoes i own ?

[@Ohmyblueberriez]

The only point I wanna share a different perspective on because I disagree with is buying shoes from a fast fast place such as an Instagram store. Yes it is affordable but the core of sustainability is longevity and consistency. You’re not getting quality shoes from a clothing brand like how I wouldn’t buy tires from a gas station. Shoes from an Instagram shop aren’t going to last you in the long run

[@unproductivebestie]

The instagram stores that get recommended to me are usually small businesses or businesses known outside of the US so I never really thought about them as fast fashion. But of course everyone should do their diligence to look into these instagram ads/stores! I wouldn't exactly say to steer away from instagram stores because it could just be a small hardworking business sponsoring their own store as an ad or a business in a different country trying its hand at the American market. Its kinda like throwing away the baby with the bath water haha😊😅

[@vash7304]

Really good conftent! I kind of wish there were more b-roll of styling to make the video more visually interesting.

[@preciousbenkoye202]

Can u buy me some more shoes pls? My pockets r hurting rn bestie 💔

[@unproductivebestie]

PRECIOUS, you should buy me some shoes, you're the rich one here😭
