Just like so many other fashion-obsessed girls, my daughter Rachel and I have a thing for shoes! Since we’ve been spending more time close to home these days, we are wearing styles that are both comfy and chic. As we get ready to transition from summer to fall, certain ones will stay with us for a little while longer, and some will quickly be rotating to the front of our closets.
In our latest mother-daughter Who What Wear feature, “I’m 55 and My Daughter Is 23—These Are the 5 Shoe Trends We Both Wear”, we shared the styles that we can’t live without these days. From a classic Western-style boot to a laid-back pair of Birkenstocks, read on to see the versatile shoe choices we both love to wear these days.

A classic western-style boot is one of our favorite looks. We like to wear this timeless style with maxi skirts like this one from Zara or with a pair of cropped denim and designer bag!
SLINGBACKS

Whether in a block or a kitten heel, a slingback is a timeless shoe choice and the perfect transitional shoe from summer to fall. We wear them with skirts, pants, dresses, jumpsuits, or jeans as they elevate the look of any outfit.
SNEAKERS
SHOP Melissa’s APL sneakers
A fashionable pair of kicks are a must for any shoe collection, at any age! Comfort is key—we both love to wear them for a workout, with a favorite pair of jeans or even a long dress.
COMBAT STYLE
SHOP Rachel’s Dr. Martens boots
Not only are combat boots easy to wear all day, but they also give every outfit an extra kick of edgy style. Pairing with fall floral dresses is our go-to look for a strong yet feminine vibe.
BIRKENSTOCK STYLE
This super comfy style never goes out but has become trendier now that we are spending more time at home. Find a pair in rose gold or go designer with a floral pattern for a put-together, yet laid back, style.
