43 Adorable Pairs of Statement Shoes to Wear This Valentine’s Day

You’ve got the dress. You’ve got the date. You’ve got the dinner reservation. Your Valentine’s Day plans are fully in tact—save one thing: You haven’t quite figured out how you want to accessorize your ensemble. Specifically, you haven’t decided what statement shoes you’ll wear this Valentine’s Day.

This qualm may seem a silly one; shoes are a fairly frivolous affair—why fret over something so trivial? But anyone who’s spent more than a moment considering what they’ll wear on a given day knows how vital shoes are to an entire get-up—how carefully curated statement shoes should be to maximize the impact of an ensemble without overshadowing any piece of the sartorial puzzle.

A good pair of statement shoes stands out, sure, but it doesn’t steal the show; it works in tandem with every other item you have on, leaving you the ultimate star of the show. And since February 14 is recognized by many as ~the sexiest day of the year~, getting your Valentine’s Day statement shoe game in order weeks in advance isn’t premature—it’s simply rational.
