With back to school in full swing, hot girl walks become a big part of life again (if they aren’t already for you). Whether you’re walking to class, the library or my personal favorite, your local coffee shop, it’s an essential part of being on campus. Having a mix of comfortable, yet stylish shoes is vital to feeling your best both physically and mentally.
