8 Perfect Pairs of Shoes for Halloween (AKA, The Entire Month of October)

Frank's Bride Mary Jane Platforms, $74.99

My "thing" is playfulness -- which, according to dozens of young adults who participated in my research, often involves being silly. Makes sense. I love being silly! But sometimes, it's hard, right? Because it's easy to worry what people think?

I've written about three proven ways to stop caring what others think. Here's a fourth: find a legit excuse to be silly. Like... the entire month of October. Which ends in one of my favorite holidays: Halloween!

To that end, here are some perfectly silly and amazing Halloween shoes. 

​1. Hot Chocolate Design Chocolaticas Bella Hasta La Muerte Women's Mary Jane Flat, $69.99

Phalanges. 

2. Hot Chocolate Design Chocolaticas Frank's Bride Women's Mary Jane Platform, $74.99

So fun!

​3. Hot Chocolate Design Chocolaticas High Heels Spider Web Women's Mary Jane Pump, $94.99

It's retro and spiderwebs at the same time. 

​4. Interestprint Women's Lightweight Jogging Work Shoes, $29.99

It says they're running shoes... which means you can totally wear them in that Halloween 5k you were planning on doing! 

​5. InterestPrint Fashion Sneaker Women's Classic Canvas Shoes, $33.99

These are great for walking, skateboarding, and chilling. 

​6. Show Story Women's Skull Zipper Peeptoe Platform, Bone Heel Club, $34.99

They're a little crazy for me... but I always like it when designers use things like spines and monuments and Disney Princesses in lieu of traditional heel-shapes. 

​7. Capelli New York Ladies' Cat Flats, $12

Technically, you could wear these black cat shoes any time of year, and it totally wouldn't be weird. 

​
8. Bigcardesigns Women's Warm Cat Boots, $13.99

​Like Uggs, but different.

Of course, if you're trying to keep a budget but still want to be a little silly, you can spice up the shoes you already have with Halloween socks:

Or tights:

​Now go be silly! Happy haunting!
