Since primavera (aka spring) is around the corner, I’m on the hunt for some fun springtime shoes that can keep up with my fast-paced lifestyle. Growing up in a Latin household full of active women, I was always taught two practical prerequisites when shoe shopping–shoes must be cute and comfortable. But as we all know, trying to stay true to any shopping mantra involving shoes isn’t always easy.
As a petite Latina who wears a size 6 shoe, I’m often left searching high and low for functional and fashionable finds — and sometimes I have to pay a premium for a good quality shoe. Luckily for me, I’ve spotted five great finds at reasonable prices that’ll add a little pep to your step.
Spring Shopping: Stylish Shoes That Are Perfect for Running Errands

Sporty Slip-On
Us Latinas always like to look "put together" so this metallic Slide Sandal by Steven Madden is spot on for running to and from the gym and strutting around town while looking polished without too much effort.

Running Shoe
The Nike 'Dual Fusion 3' Training Shoe provides a dynamic midfoot support system to create a superbly snug fit in a lightweight running shoe designed with a dual-density midsole for a plush ride. In other words, when you're running -- or running around-- you'll be supported and comfortable. I can get around with that! I love the soft blue and white color way, too.

Platform Wedge Sandal
I couldn't resist including this "Sovay" Wedge Sandal by Dolce Vita as it's sporty-looking, yet dressy-casual at the same time and best of all super comfortable. Pair back with shorts, jeans, or a sundress and you're good for errand running or leisure time with the kiddos.

TOMS 'Avalon' Nylon Slip-On Sneaker is super-durable and breathable. I love that I can count on this nylon slip-on sneaker for just about anything. It's cushy rubber sole keeps me active for hours and I truly love it's punchy orange color--perfect for spring!
