10 Best Tuckernuck Shoes + What I’m Eyeing & Buying

Tuckernuck’s Friends & Family Sale is LIVE! Use code FRIENDS to save more when you spend more.

If you looked back over my style throughout the last decade since moving from Utah to North Carolina, you would find that it has changed a lot. I think it’s very natural for style to evolve (with age and depending on where you live), and as I’ve lived in the South, I’ve become more drawn to feminine, preppy, colorful items– including shoes.

My favorite place to shop for shoes is Tuckernuck. I didn’t discover the brand until about 5 years ago, but since then, it’s the first place I look any time I want to refresh something in my closet. Tuckernuck is an online retailer that carries a bunch of different brands along with their own in-house line. The company was founded in 2012 by Jocelyn Moore Gailliot, Madeline Moore, and September Rinnier in a Georgetown garage, and it has grown into an incredibly popular online retailer since then.

Part of my full-time job is sourcing items for readers, so I spend a lot of time scrolling on Tuckenuck. I have a ton of Tuckernuck roundups linked here on the blog, so if you want to get a dress or blouse to pair with the shoes you find through this post, you can navigate to those roundups below.

In this post, I’ve compiled my favorite shoes from their pre-fall selection. I hope you find something you would love to add to your closet.

Tuckernuck Return Policy

Before we jump right in, I wanted to add a note about Tuckernuck’s return policy. You can return anything that is unworn and unwashed within 30 days of your purchase. Returns are free, so you can feel confident in whatever purchase you make. Since shoes are pricey and do require a try-on to know if they’ll be something you can wear, I appreciate this return window a lot.

10 Best Tuckernuck Shoes

1. Loeffler Randall Safari Gia Tall Boots

I wanted to add this pair of Loeffler Randall Safari Gia Tall Boots to the very top of this post, since they’ve been on my personal wishlist for years now (I have a few pair of Loeffler Randall shoes and they’re the most comfortable). I haven’t found anything that I like more (and trust me, I’ve tried). The heel height is ideal for my stage of life (busy mom chasing toddlers), but since they still have a little height, they have the more dressed-up look I’m going for when I want a pair of boots. I’ve discovered that I don’t love the look of flat boots on me, but I think this shorter heel is just perfect.

If you prefer a taller heel, Loeffler Randall makes a pair just like these with a 3.5-inch heel. If I weren’t in the same life stage, I think I’d prefer these to the Gia style.

You can get Loeffler Randall at a few different retailers, but I always try to order from Tuckernuck when possible because I love their customer service and return window.

2. Veja Extra White Emeraude Recife Sneakers

I’ve owned 3 different pairs of Veja sneakers and continue to re-buy them because I love them so much. They’re comfortable and practical when I need a casual fashion sneaker, and they last forever. The Extra White Emeraude Recife Sneakers are such a fun option for fall. I love the green “v” detail (but the other colorways are great too). I own the Recife style and wear them more often than the Campo or Esplar styles. The velcro is on-trend this fall. Since Veja comes in European sizing, be careful when you order. Be sure you know your size conversion.

I’ve had my eyes on the Isabel Marant Beth sneakers for years, and this velcro style from Veja scratches that itch without breaking the bank.

3. Tretorn Women’s Navy Nylite Canvas Sneakers

Another great pair of everyday fashion sneakers are the Nylite Canvas Sneakers by Tretorn. They’re lighter weight than the Veja pair and much more affordable. Since they’re canvas, they lend themselves a little more toward warm weather, but if you live in the south, you will still get months of wear out of them before winter. These required a little bit of breaking-in for me, but now they’re really comfortable.

4. Dolce Vita Mid Brown Pandro Heels

These brown Dolce Vita heels may not be the most practical shoe, but they are indeed the cutest fall heels I’ve seen so far. I love the light brown (almost caramel) color because it’s unique but still neutral. The upper is made of satin which makes them dressy and a great option for wearing to a fall wedding (speaking of, I have some very cute fall wedding guest dresses linked here).

Dolce Vita is typically very comfortable and always well-priced.

5. Loeffler Randall Platinum Lame Natalia Heels

I have to be fair, though. While the Dolce Vita Pandro heels are the cutest platform heels I’ve seen this year, this pair of Loeffler Randall Platinum Lame Natalia Heels was my favorite shoe purchase last fall. I already own them in black (and love them) and I noticed that there was a gap in my closet for a light-colored dressy heel, so I snagged these when they went on sale. This Natalia style is by far the most comfortable heel I own, and I can’t recommend them enough. While I don’t think you need both the Pandro heels and these Natalia heels since they’re both platforms, I do think you’d be justified if you decided too, ha!

6. Tuckernuck Brown Leather Marcy Heels

These Brown Leather Marcy Heels are part of Tuckernuck’s in-house brand. They come in a classic brown leather with a low (practical) heel. I always appreciate a heel strap, too, since it always makes heels feel more secure. The gold accents on the center strap add some fun interest and make them a great option for dressing up or down. When you think of a classic fall heel, these hit the mark. I’d style them with dresses and jeans.

7. Loeffler Randall Espresso Woven Leather Leonie Flats

I own a similar pair of ballet flats from Madewell that I’ve worn into the ground, so when I saw Loeffler Randall launch these Leonie flats, I added them to my wishlist. As I mentioned earlier, all of the Loeffler Randall shoes I own are shockingly comfortable, which has given me the Loeffler Randall bug. I want all of their shoes!

These Leonie flats are a classic ballet flat style with a fun woven upper. You can style them with jeans, dresses, skirts, you name it. I styled the Madewell pair I own with a midi skirt here, so you can get an idea of how they’d look.

8. Sam Edelman Black Brit Heels

I bought these Black Brit Heels last winter to wear with holiday cocktail dresses. I absolutely loved them, and that’s saying something since kitten heels aren’t usually my jam. I’ve always been a big fan of Sam Edelman shoes since they fit my feet incredibly well, and these Black Brit Heels are no different. They’re comfortable, simple (but with a little bit of pizazz), and easy to style with dresses and jeans into the cooler months.

9. French Sole Exclusive Foster Stud Sandals

Let’s talk about the Exclusive Foster Stud Sandals from Tuckernuck. They look almost identical to the Valentino Garavani Rockstud Caged 60mm Slide Sandals. Actually, I like the heel on the Tuckernuck pair better!

I love designer shoes, and I’ve always been drawn to studded heels when they’re tasteful. And you know what I say– if Tuckernuck carries them, they are my style. These are such a classic, iconic and loved style (truly loved around the world), and the French Sole brand is also known for comfort. I own these and another pair (French Sole Raffia Alibi Sandals) and can attest to that fact – they are truly so comfortable. These are the perfect heels to style with fall dresses or jeans. You might think these are too trendy to buy, but studded heels have been in for years, and I don’t foresee them going out anytime soon.

10. Schutz Exclusive Palha Fairy High Heels

While these Exclusive Palha Fairy High Heels do lend themselves to warmer weather because of the natural fiber, I wanted to include them in case you live somewhere like Florida, where you can get away with wearing them into the fall. These heels are comfortable and flattering on the foot. Unfortunately, Schutz shoes are too narrow for my foot, so I ended up returning them but only because of that.
