Now that summer is coming to an end, you’re probably itching to revamp your wardrobe with new and comfy essentials for the fall. And what better place to start than with your shoes? After all, open-toed sandals will only last you so much longer. It’s flats and booties season!

One thing to note: Comfort is key when shopping for new shoes, especially in walking shoes. The good news is Vionic shoes (one of the most recommended footwear brands by podiatrists) launched an end-of-season shoe sale, discounting a wide array of select styles at 40% off.

Known for creating comfortably stylish kicks, Vionic is a go-to choice for people who struggle with common foot problems, like plantar fasciitis, bunions, and calluses. Each shoe is crafted to provide stability and support thanks to its unique engineered cushioning and arch design.

One of our favorite shoe picks on sale are the Simasa sneakers. They have a 4.3-star rating and tons of rave reviews. “These were my first pair of Vionic shoes and I fell in love with them,” wrote one customer. “They are comfortable for my 12-hour shifts, they are safe for the clinic, and they have slip-resistant soles. They are well-made, good-quality shoes.”

You can choose from three different colors on sale—black, white-multi, which features green and pink accents, and white pastel lilac. The upper is made out of leather and each footbed features a removable mesh-covered EVA orthotic insert.

If you’re looking to upgrade your flats collection, we recommend trying the Julieta flat. It has a beautiful snake-embossed print and a flattering scalloped topline. It's also on sale in three different colorways including, cream, rose, and yellow.

The Zana lizard print loafers are another winning pick. One reviewer gave the Zana lizard print loafers a 5-star rating and wrote that the shoes “Are darling and comfortable on my feet. I love the long upper—this style works great for my foot shape.” We also love that the chic lizard-embossed leather and unlined low-slung slip-on silhouette give off a stylish and versatile look that can be dressed up or down easily.

Another shoe we can’t resist adding to our carts? The Harper ankle boot. This dark brown bootie is designed with embossed crocodile-print leather, featuring earthy jewel tones. The block heel is about three inches high, making it perfect for elevating cut-off jeans and midi dresses.

Vionic shoes are also so popular that stars like Oprah Winfrey have even been spotted wearing them. Winfrey has featured a few different styles in her “Oprah’s Favorite Things List” for three consecutive years and has even worn her favorite styles on the cover of O, The Oprah Magazine. One of her particular favorites is the Gemma mule slipper (it's not a part of the sale but is a can’t-go-wrong pick). “These slippers aren’t just for shuffling around—with an orthotic footbed, they're bound to put a spring in your step. I slipped them on and thought I was walking on cloud fluff,” said Winfrey in an interview for O, The Oprah Magazine.

Whether you’re shopping for a whole new shoe wardrobe or just browsing for some new work-wear flats, there’s sure to be a style for you. So shop the celeb and podiatrist-approved shoes, before sizes start selling out.
