Personally, I believe that shoes are one of the most important parts of an outfit. You could be wearing a super fashionable dress or even just a white tee and some jeans, but if your footwear doesn't go...then your 'fit just doesn't work. Sorry, not sorry! So, what I'm saying is, finding that perfect pair of boots, heels, whatever is quintessential and you should look into these Black-owned shoe brands because I guarantee you just may find The One™️. (Or, let's be real, multiple ones).

And there are so many amazing choices here for you below that you'll probs be stuck staring at your computer adding things to your cart for hours. (Sry.) If you're looking for your basic nude heel to go with just about any clothing combo, I got you. In need of a durable, comfortable, yet flattering shoe you can slip on whenever? Yeah, got that too. Scroll on through to shop...and heart-eyes over all these gorgeous designs. Check out some Black-owned clothing brands too, to find some stuff to go with your newest footwear purchase.
