Are there specific types of shoes every woman should have? Well, shoes do maketh a woman. These are the seven types of shoes every woman must own.

The classic pump. Think of these as the Little Black Dress (LBD) of the shoe world. They usually go with everything under the sun, are perfect for work and play and could there be an easier way to take your look from day to night? Invest in two pairs, one black because black can do no wrong and one nude to lengthen your legs and make you feel like a Greek goddess. You can go for rounded or pointy tips and as high or low as you’d like!

Ballet flats. The most fun part is the endless choices you have with styles, materials and colours. Really, the sky is your limit! Speaking of sky, ballet flats really do make you feel like you’re walking on a cloud, don’t they? If that doesn’t make this a type of shoe every woman should own, we don’t know what does.

Riding boots. Nothing looks as chic as a white tee, a pair of jeans, a leather jacket and riding boots! So go out there and get yourself a pair in black...and maybe one in chestnut brown too.

Wedges. What better way to show off your pedicure than with a pair of comfy yet glamorous wedge heels. They are so easy to walk in, look fantastic with practically anything and are the best of both worlds. Do we need any more reasons to label this a type of shoe every woman should have?

Sandals. Flip-flops are perfectly fine for the beach and a few other places but when you’re out and about, a pair of sandals look so much nicer. A great lazy day look is a slouchy tee, shorts and thong sandals. Pure bliss!

A statement pair. These are also called "happy shoes” and are basically just an outrageous pair that transform an otherwise boring outfit into...well, a statement outfit! They may not go with most #things you own but that’s the point. Whether it’s a floral pair or a pair with polka dots, studs, animal print or just something in a blinding neon colour, a statement shoe has the ability to lift your spirits up and turn a bad day around. It’s almost as good as a cupcake!

Oxford shoes. If sneakers are not your style, here’s a wonderful alternative. There’s just something about a pair of Oxford shoes! Maybe it’s the vintage look they exude, or their masculine vibe or how they look just as fabulous on a dress as they do on a pair of pants. Oh they are pure magic and every woman needs a pair!
