If you’re like most women, you have dozens upon dozens of sandals, sneakers, loafers, flip-flops, boots, and other footwear. But how many of them do you love? Really love? How many fit well, complement your fashion sense, and are versatile enough to serve multiple purposes? Moreover, how many of these shoes do you really need? You may be surprised to learn that the following nine must-haves are the only styles required to create a shoe wardrobe so all-encompassing, so perfect, that no matter what the occasion is, you’ll have just the right shoe.

1. Two or three pairs of expensive-looking shoes for a work. Study what your boss is wearing then get yourself two great-looking pairs of similar shoes. Not only will you always look appropriate and stylish. you’ll always have a pair clean and ready should one need to go to the cobbler. Need style suggestions? Go with pumps. Not only are pumps flattering and easy to wear, they are the quintessential woman’s work shoes, especially for those working in offices, banks, or upscale shops. Opt for a dark or medium neutral. Think black, chocolate, cordovan (an old-fashioned word for cherry-kissed brown), or even burgundy, navy, or charcoal.

2. One warm-weather work shoe. Your best bet is a two-part pump—or one with peep toes— in a light shade such as tan, beige or dove gray.

3. One pair of slingbacks in a neutral shade. They look chic with straight skirts and classic-cut trousers. They can be worn with bare legs or opaque winter stockings. Plus, they work well with formal and near-formal wear, they add sophistication to jeans, and instantly dress up a denim skirt and cardigan like nothing else can.

4. One pair of strappy dress sandals to wear with formal or semi-formal attire. They can sex-up a pair of jeans, too. Best colors: a mid-tone or pale neutral, including metallics such as silver or gold.

5. One pair of neutral-colored casual shoes for weekends. A woman can never go wrong with classics such as oxfords, moccasins, loafers, or clogs.

6. One pair of attractive athletic shoes. They’re good-enough-looking for your Juicy Couture tracksuit, yet hard-working enough to perform at the gym.

Let’s face it: I’ve been called everything from a footwear fanatic to a shoe sensation, just depending on the audience. I have an entire closet filled with shoes of every name brand and style, but the ones that get the extra special attention in their own storage boxes and shelves are my BCBG shoes. There has yet to be a BCBG shoe that hasn’t attracted my attention (or my credit card), so it’s no wonder that I consider myself BCBG’s biggest fan. Yes, their clothing is fantastic, but their footwear is truly divine. Consider this my own sonnet to BCBG shoes as I count the ways in which I give them my undivided love:

Reason #1: The Style. BCBG shoes have Style with a capital “S.” From summer’s strappy sandals to winters chunky boots, BCBG makes them all in every imaginable look. I love the fresh, trendy style of BCBG because it walks the fine line between stylish trendsetter and classic diva. These shoes are not yesterday’s news and will certainly not leave you to be disappointed by the next season’s about face in the style market. Although this is not a fact that I like to advertise (what girl doesn’t want to keep up the appearance of completing changing their wardrobe each season), I have three pairs of BCBG shoes that have lasted me longer than I would like to admit. They are my eternal favorites and I have received more complements on each pair during each season than I can remember.

Reason #2: The Fit. I’m convinced that shoes are like men. Some are gorgeous head turners that look like a million bucks but will treat you horribly while others are the complete package. Think of BCBG shoes like your prince charming. They can woo any girl off her feet, but leave her tootsies feeling fantastic without the typical pinching and pain associated with high fashion shoes. In addition to have an actual sole (and a soul, but that’s a different story completely), BCBG shoes include padding and comfort features that are simply unheard of in other stylish brands of shoes.

Remember that famous saying, “all things aren’t created equal?” Although you may not know it, the person uttering those famous words was talking about BCBG shoes. Typically, words like superior, best, and ultimate are batted about and they tend to lose their meaning, unless of course you are talking about BCBG shoes. So why are these shoes so superior? Is it because of their name or their fabulous designers? You may just be surprised by the answers to these questions.

For starters, BCBG shoes are crafted from quality materials. If you are tired of buying shoes that have the look but just don’t hold up to daily wear and tear, then turn you attention to BCBG. With quality materials and craftsmanship, these shoes will last a lifetime, or until they fall out of fashion (which generally if a lifetime). Gone are split soles, splintering heels, and unraveling threads often associated with other types of shoes, so this brand is definitely the best choice for someone interested in quality in addition to appearance.

Next, BCBG shoes are designed by some of the hottest designers in existence. In addition to their show stopping and head turning line of clothing, BCBG shoes have a life of their own. Forget accessories and instead think of BCBG shoes as the main course, with your outfit simply serving as a complement to your feet. Shoe designers are popping up all over the place and footwear has never been more popular. Instead of using warmed over design ideas that are unoriginal and uninspiring, the design team at BCBG continues to challenge themselves to create new and unusual twists on old favorites and new trends.

There are many types of footwear on the market today depending on what activities you enjoy and what suits your needs as an individual. From posh parties to the beach to a casual shopping trip, what you wear on your feet distinguishes who you are. A day hiking the trails can be a disaster with the wrong footwear.

If you are the type of individual that enjoys a number of outdoor activities but none serious enough to warrant specific footwear for each sport, then a multi-sport shoe is for you. This type of footwear is ideal for that walk in the park, a light day hike through a well traveled trail, a fun game in the field, and is a definite life-saver on vacations. It allows you to multi task your activities and gives you enough support and versatility to not limit your enjoyment.

If you are more of an enthusiast and have an adrenalin-like craving then Approach Shoes are the ticket. They are great for those mountain visits with their excellent rock scrambling traction and climbing potential, yet stylish enough to cruise the mall. The soles of these shoes are made out of a sticky rubber and more closely resemble a climbing shoe than a hiking shoe. Approach shoes where intended to give a climber or mountaineer a comfortable yet solid footing for those short or long traverses to your climbing area. These shoes are not to be confused with climbing shoes. Though many climbers prefer them on easy multi terrain climbs, they are no substitute on difficult climbs.
