What Types of Women's Shoes Are Available?

City Beach stocks women's footwear across sneakers, sandals, boots, heels and casual slip-on styles. The main differences are the upper construction, fastening, sole shape, heel height and amount of foot coverage.

Women's Sneakers and Casual Shoes

Explore women's sneakers from adidas, Converse, Vans, Nike, Puma, Reebok, New Balance, DC Shoes and Etnies.

The range includes low-top sneakers, high-top shoes, platform sneakers, skate-inspired styles and slip-ons. City Beach stocks designs including adidas Samba and Gazelle shoes, Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers, Vans Old Skool shoes and selected Nike sneakers.

Low-top sneakers sit below the ankle, while high-top styles extend further up. Platform sneakers have a raised sole, and slip-on designs use a different fastening construction from traditional lace-up shoes.

Women's Sandals and Flatforms

Women's sandals include strappy sandals, flatforms, thong sandals and slip-on designs.

City Beach stocks sandals from Ava And Ever, Mooloola, Reef, Roxy, Billabong, Havaianas and Dr Martens. Selected designs feature braided straps, buckles, metallic embellishments and raised soles.

Flatform sandals have a relatively consistent raised sole height from front to back. Platform sandals are a broader category of footwear with an elevated sole and can have different heel shapes.

Women's Thongs and Flip-Flops

Women's thongs, also known as flip-flops, generally feature a strap positioned between the first and second toes.

City Beach carries thongs from Havaianas, Reef, Rip Curl, Roxy, Billabong and other brands, including classic rubber flip-flops, slim-strap designs, square-toe thongs and decorative styles.

Compare the footbed shape, strap width and materials to find a suitable style for casual outfits or beachwear.

Women's Slides and Slip-On Sandals

Women's slides generally have an open back and one or more straps across the upper foot, without a traditional toe-post strap.

City Beach stocks slide designs from Crocs, Reef, Roxy, Ava And Ever, Mooloola and other brands. Selected styles include buckled straps, flatform soles and decorative details.

Slides offer a different silhouette from classic thongs, while both are types of casual open footwear.

Women's Boots and Cowboy Boots

Explore women's boots from Ava And Ever, Jonnie and Mooloola.

The collection includes different ankle and longer boot silhouettes, with selected cowboy-inspired designs. Browse women's cowboy boots for western-style footwear.

Compare the shaft height, heel shape, toe design and fastening when choosing between boots. Selected styles feature different decorative details and finishes.

Women's Heels and Wedges

Women's heels and wedges include wedge heels and kitten heels from Ava And Ever and Mooloola.

Wedge heels feature a heel supported by a wedge-shaped sole, while kitten heels generally have a shorter, narrower heel.

City Beach carries styles including Ava And Ever Ariel and Anaya Wedge Heels and Mooloola Serena Kitten Heels. These can be paired with dresses, skirts and dressier casual outfits.

Women's Ballet Flats

Women's ballet flats have a low-profile silhouette and generally feature a flat or low heel.

City Beach stocks selected ballet-flat designs from Ava And Ever, Mooloola and Converse, including the Converse Chuck Taylor Dainty Ballerina range.

Compare the toe shape, upper construction and fastening details when choosing between ballet flats and casual sneakers.

Women's Crocs, Clogs and Slippers

City Beach carries Crocs footwear, including Classic Clogs, alternative clog designs, sandals and slides.

Clogs generally have a more enclosed front than traditional open-toe sandals. Selected Crocs styles have ventilation openings and movable heel straps.

For indoor and casual home footwear, explore women's slippers, including Mooloola slip-on and slipper-boot designs.

What's the Difference Between Sneakers, Sandals, Slides and Clogs?

These footwear styles are distinguished primarily by their construction.

Sneakers generally have a covered upper and sole, with fastening options including laces or slip-on designs.

Sandals are a broad category of footwear that leaves part of the foot exposed. Slides are sandals with an open back and straps across the foot, while thongs feature a strap between the toes.

Clogs typically have a more enclosed front than sandals, while boots extend above the foot towards or beyond the ankle.

These categories describe footwear construction rather than guaranteed cushioning, support or suitability for particular activities.

How to Choose the Right Women's Shoe Size

Start by measuring your foot from the heel to the end of your longest toe. Compare the measurement with the individual brand's footwear size guide.

City Beach stocks different size formats, including Australian, US and European sizes. Selected Crocs and Havaianas products use combined or brand-specific sizing.

When choosing shoes, consider the length, width, upper construction and fastening. Two styles with the same labelled size may fit differently because of their shape and materials.

For open-toe shoes, check how your foot sits within the footbed. For sneakers and boots, consider toe room and how the upper fits around the foot.

Check the individual product's size guide rather than assuming sizing is identical across brands.

How to Choose Women's Shoes for Different Occasions

For everyday casual outfits, sneakers and slip-ons are versatile styling options. Low-top sneakers can be paired with jeans, shorts and casual dresses, while platform sneakers create a different silhouette.

For beach days and holidays, explore thongs, slides and sandals. Check individual product materials and intended use, particularly if wearing footwear around wet surfaces.

For festivals or cooler-weather outfits, boots offer an alternative to casual sneakers and sandals. Compare the shaft height, heel and sole design when choosing a pair.

For dinners, parties and occasions, browse heels, wedges, strappy sandals and ballet flats. Different heel heights and upper designs create different outfit combinations.

How to Style Women's Shoes with Different Outfits

Women's sneakers can be styled with baggy jeans, denim shorts, skirts and oversized T-shirts for casual or streetwear-inspired outfits.

Explore women's jeans for denim styles to pair with low-top, high-top and platform sneakers.

For summer outfits, pair slides, thongs or strappy sandals with women's dresses, shorts or skirts.

For beach days, combine casual sandals or thongs with women's swimwear and beach cover-ups.

Boots can be paired with mini dresses, skirts or denim, while ballet flats and heels offer alternatives for dressier everyday outfits.
