It’s perfectly understandable to ponder about the best price-per-wear you’ll actually get out of a new shoe purchase — more so if you’re splashing out on a pair of expensive designer kicks. So which shoe styles are the most timeless and investment-worthy?
First off, it must be a shoe that you’ll keep going back to time and again, regardless of the season. It never goes out of trend, and is a classic silhouette that you can match with almost anything in your closet.
Secondly, the quality of the fabrics used and design of shoe needs to be at such a level where the shoe can physically last too. There’s no point in splurging on designer footwear that falls apart after 3 months.
These designer shoes are the best-selling styles season-after-season, so you already know you’ll be getting a bang out of your buck. Check out our picks of the best investment designer shoes to own right now.
