Iconic Shoe Styles

1. The Frye Campus Boot - introduced in the 1960's

There are certain shoes styles that every woman needs to have at least one pair of in her closet. These are shoes that have stood the test of time, shoes that haven't faded away only to resurface, these are shoes that just plain haven't gone anywhere since they were introduced. The apparel equivalents to these shoes are the white t-shirt, blue jeans, khaki slacks, and the navy blazer.

Also interesting to note, none of these shoes will hurt you. As much as I love heels, there is an overall love/hate relationship with them and the general population, which is why they have taken on so many forms over the decades. The shoe industry has to keep revamping them to keep them interesting and to keep women from saying, "Aw, to hell with all of these aches and blisters, I'm wearing flats!" The following list of shoes have never needed tweaking, they are just that. damn. good.

What are these shoes, you ask? Print this list out ladies, for the next time you go shoe shopping. I would never lead you astray and these are shoes that you can wear till they put you in the ground. Talk about investment pieces!
