Right now, Nordstrom is home to 19,158 pairs of women's shoes, and while the retailer has done a great job of designing its website to make sorting through them as easy as possible, it still isn't necessarily easy. If you're not at all sure what you're looking for, filtering by style, color, or heel height probably won't be a ton of help. Trust me, I've perused Nordstrom.com thousands of times and know what it's like to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of options available. Fortunately, my expert-level experience in the shoe department there puts me in a particularly great position to help you navigate it.

This week, I put to use some of my longest-running tips and tricks and put together a list of the absolute best five shoe styles at Nordstrom, ranging from $50 to $775. That means without having to scroll for hours and mess around with various filters, you now have access to everything necessary to make an informed shoe-buying decision for spring and summer. Scroll down to see which five pairs made the cut.
