If you're looking for some stylish new kicks, look no further than the Shape Shoe Awards!
This year, Shape magazine is expanding their annual awards beyond just sneakers and picking winners that include comfortable flats and sandals you can wear all the time.
Shape's Fashion and Lifestyle Director Brooke Danielson stopped by the show Thursday to share some of the 2019 winners.
