Fall’s most revolutionary trend: Comfortable shoes on the runways and in real life. Now, you can step out in the dressiest of dresses wearing slides, sneakers and even high-glam hiking boots (the fashion editor’s favorite). But with the holidays around the corner, it’s also time to break out your party shoes. That’s why we’ve paired the best dresses of the season with day-to-night options so you can walk-the-walk, whatever the occasion.
