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

If you were to peek around my closet, you’d notice fall has arrived in the form of suede, rich leathers, and velvets. I tend to gravitate toward that elegant, slightly preppy-meets-cozy aesthetic (a la Tuckernuck’s vibe), so this list is my seasonal “best of” eleven shoes that feel styled-with-ease but still polished (and definitely comfortable).

My favorite place to shop for shoes is Tuckernuck. I didn’t discover the brand until about seven years ago, but since then, it’s the first place I look anytime I want to refresh something in my closet. Tuckernuck is an online retailer that carries a bunch of different brands, along with its 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 Tuckernuck. I have multiple 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 today’s post, I’ve compiled my favorite shoes from their fall and winter collection. (Another favorite of mine is Larroude shoes–you can find my honest review here.) I hope you find something you would love to add to your closet.

11 Best Tuckernuck Shoes

1. Loeffler Randall Tmoro Suede Elise Boots

The Tmoro Suede Elise Boots are the boots you’ll reach for the second there’s a hint of fall in the air. The warm tmoro suede feels luxe but neutral, the block heel adds just enough lift, and the sleek shape works with everything from denim to dresses. They have that effortlessly refined look that makes every outfit feel more pulled together. These boots are by far my most worn (and most loved).

2. Tuckernuck Shoes Nadia Suede Flats

These Nadia Suede Flats are simply gorgeous. They are perfect for the days you want to look put-together without committing to a heel. The suede is buttery soft, the square toe gives them a tailored touch, and the cushioned insole makes them easy to wear all day. They’re simple but elevated, the kind of flat that makes even a basic outfit feel like you have your life together better than most. I love them with cropped trousers, a mini skirt and a blazer, or a cozy sweater dress but they work great with jeans too. If you’re looking for something a little more playful, go for the Tortoise Live Slingback Flats.

3. Tuckernuck Shoes Vivian Suede Loafers

Loafers are probably my favorite shoe, and the Walnut Lottie Tassel Loafers from Tuckernuck are everything I want in a classic pair. They are timeless, structured, and quietly chic. The chocolate suede adds warmth, and the silhouette is just the right mix of tailored and feminine. Pair them with wide-leg trousers, a pleated skirt, or jeans or literally anything. No, really, they go with almost anything in your closet — see my guide on how to style loafers here, and if you want try the new loafer with socks trend, I’ve got you covered.

4. Loeffler Randall Goldy Tall Leather Boots

If there’s one boot that elevates an outfit, it’s the Loeffler Randal Safari Gia Tall Boot. The tall silhouette, almond toe, and rich leather make them a stunning statement shoe without even trying. They’re just as good with a sweater dress as they are with skinny jeans and a barn jacket (and those are on-trend!). If you prefer something with less of a heel, the Tuckernuck Ryder Boots are a great alternative. You get the same classic look, but with a more walkable heel, perfect for going from school drop-off to errands to a happy hour.

5. Tuckernuck Shoes Chocolate Suede Buckle Nina Flats

Think Mary Janes, but all grown up. I found the Buckle Nina Flats when researching this post and immediately bought them. They have a little vintage charm with their square toe and double strap, but still feel modern and sophisticated. The chocolate suede color goes with everything, but they also have several really fun colors that will pop. Style them with tights and a wool skirt for that polished, fall-in-the-city look, or with wide-leg jeans and a sweater for errands or a cute lunch. (Here are more tips to style Mary Janes.)

6. Tuckernuck Shoes Margot Heels

There’s something so timeless about a grosgrain heel, and the Tuckernuck Margot Heels are no exception. They have that slightly vintage “old money” feel and are feminine but not fussy. The mid-height heel is perfect for events or dinners when you want to look dressed up, but don’t beg you to chuck your heels across the room after an hour. They’re the kind of shoe that quietly pulls your whole outfit together, so throw them on with a simple black dress and call it good.

The Black Satin Rio Heels give off the same feel as the Margot heels, but with more of a holiday twist (and here are holiday cocktail dresses to go with them).

7. STAUD Wally Ankle Boot

If you’re craving something a little more modern or just looking for a classic black boot, the Wally boot from STAUD is it. The sleek suede finish and ankle-hugging shape make them the perfect balance to floaty dresses or cropped denim. They look on-trend but not like you’re trying too hard — and the wide kitten heel makes them practical enough for real life.

8. Loeffler Randall Dark Brown Velvet Loretta Heels

If you’re looking for that one pair of shoes you may only pull out a few times a year – but every time you do, you feel like you really got dressed for something special – enter the Loeffler Randall Dark Brown Velvet Loretta Heels. Think of them as your “wow-moment” shoes: the rich velvet, the elegant silhouette. Whether it’s a holiday dinner, a work party, or a date night, these are the shoes that make the entire outfit one for the books.

9. Veronica Beard Caroline Heels

The Veronica Beard Caroline slingbacks scream “quiet luxury” since they’re classy, feminine, and so easy to wear. The espresso suede pairs beautifully with fall textures like tweed, knits, and camel coats, and the pointed toe instantly elongates your legs. If you love the shape but want something simpler (and under $150), the Schutz Black Julie Heels are a great option. You get the same elegant feel without the strap.

10. Veja Extra White Emeraude Recife Sneakers

I’ve owned four 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 a unique style, and I wear them more often than my Campo or Esplar styles.

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.

11. 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 warmer weather, but if you live in the south, you will still get months of wear out of them in these cooler months. These required a little bit of breaking-in for me, but now they’re really comfortable.

The Veronica Beard Valentina Sneakers are what I have my eyes on now, and they look so comfortable (and fashion-forward) right out of the box.

Tuckernuck 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. (If you want the most flexible return policy, though, buy shoes at Nordstrom! You can return almost anything – including shoes — even after wearing… within reason!)
