The Must-Have Shoes on Your Holiday Wishlist

This post is sponsored by Kohl’s. I was paid for this post and received the included shoes as compensation.

When I think of the holidays, I think of traveling, family, and – of course – gift giving. When I was younger, I always focused on what I wanted, but as I got older, I started to think a lot more about what I wanted to give. I won’t lie – these shoes from Kohl’s check both boxes. They make for both the perfect gift and the perfect present. So, whether you’re looking to add a pair of shoes to your wishlist or figure out the perfect gift for someone, these shoes from Kohl’s will fit the bill.

For the Athleisure-Lovers

I can’t be the only one that’s holding on strong to the athleisure trend. While I slept on the New Balance brand for a while, I may be jumping back on the wagon for this pair. It was difficult for me to pick a color for these shoes; I loved the dark color of the navy, the versatility of the gray or black, and the overall look of the mauve. Since most of my shoes are already neutrals, I opted to add a different color to my own wardrobe.

For the trendy women in your life, this is basically millennial pink meets athleisure; two of the top trends combined into one shoe. I styled them with faux leather leggings and a furry pullover, just to make the shoes even more trendy.

Even though I was just hanging out in the morning, these shoes are perfect for athlesiure-lovers, busy women run around or are on their feet all day. I can’t say how much I would have loved to get shoes like this in high-school; they would have been great at my first job!

While I opted for a more casual pair, New Balance has other great athletic shoes to fit your needs! If you’re looking to gift some shoes to your more fitness-loving friends, they have some pretty cool performance shoes as well for running, training and more!

To Transition Back into Spring

For those living in warm climates, these Koolaburra by UGG® booties are perfect because you can wear them year-round while still embracing the winter looks. For those that live where it snows, these shoes are perfect to break out in the spring.

Since we have mild winters in Arizona, they’re perfect in my winter wardrobe. I paired them with my favorite pair of black denim, a Sherpa-lined denim jacket, and a lightweight sweater for a cute, on-trend look. It feels like I pulled this look from the pages of social media. I can’t wait to wear these with flowy tops and floral dresses come springtime.

If peep-toe booties aren’t your thing, Koolaburra by UGG® also has fur-lined boots, booties, and slippers! These also make great gifts at Christmas time!
