Whenever I’m in SoHo, I seek refuge in the Spring Street J.Crew. It’s my heaven in the chaos of crowds. This visit, I was keen to try on all the shoe offerings. You might know J.Crew for their coats, but my friends know too well how I feel about this, and I believe J.Crew‘s shoe and accessory department is overlooked. More than ever, it needs your attention. The new arrivals and late-fall additions all deserve a spot in your shoe rotation.
I spent two hours in-store styling flats, boots, and loafers. But in the end, only one pair came home: the Bea Ballet Flats in Eel-Embossed Leather, $198. Read on to see why and shop J.Crew’s slept-on shoe collection. Josephine wears the J.Crew Bea Ballet Flats in Eel-Embossed Leather, $198.
Scroll on to shop the Bea Ballet Flats, plus the three other chic J.Crew shoes I tried on. Spoiler: after ballet flats, my attention goes straight to boots and loafers. So, consider yourself warned.

Bea Ballet Flats, $178
It shouldn’t be a surprise that the Bea Ballet Flats came home with me. I have a weakness for chic ballet flats that are as comfortable as they are stylish. Since buying them, I’ve worn them more times than I can count. With little to no break-in period, these wine-colored, eel-embossed flats look great with light-wash jeans or wide-leg trousers. I highly recommend.

Western Ankle Boots, $298
ICYMI, fashion has been leaning a bit Western lately. I’ve spotted countless denim-on-denim looks and statement belt buckles. If you’re contemplating participating, try out these Western ankle boots. Yes they look cool, but what’s better they’re comfortable too.
