Every category in CAS is equally important. But I think every Simmer can agree we’ll never have enough shoe options.
And why should there be such a limited selection?
It’s not like Sims have to shell out Simoleons for each pair!
So if expanding your Sim’s wardrobe is your main focus, there’s a ton of free CC that’s just as high quality as the real deal.
We’ve collected a big variety of shoes here, including sandals, sneakers, and heels. So if you want it for your lady Sims, chances are good that someone out there has already made it.
A lot of players turn to custom content for outlandish things we could never expect to see in the game officially.
But sometimes, CC is just a matter of filling in the blanks.
We just want about a billion swatches for everything. I think that’s totally fair.
Half the fun of shoe shopping is finding that one pair that’s really distinct. And luckily, Pleyita’s recolors bring no less than 80 brand new swatches to the table.
This creator recolored two base game sneakers. And now you’ll not only have basically every solid color you could want, but tons of lovely floral patterns as well.
And it’s plain as day now what defines early 2000s fashion. It really brought some trends just as iconic as ‘80s leg warmers or the go-go boots of the ‘60s.
Nothing quite embodies that tumultuous time of the world beginning to navigate a new century quite like platform flip-flops.
Who decided the most casual inexpensive footwear ever needed some height, and why?
I guess that’s not important. It’s all irrelevant to the fact that Sims lack originality in their wardrobe – and these flip flops offer more personalization than you’d expect!
And the creator included an option with a slider too – so you can decide the height of the platforms for yourself.
Here are some simple sandals, with the trusty straps around the ankle and toe.
But the twist is, one of them is lined with little roses of all different colors!
It’s amazing how alterations like that can make all the difference in the world. At first glance you may not even realize that these are the base game sandals – but they are.
You’re sure to love these if you’re a fan of flowers.
No matter the color, the roses are small but mighty and always look fantastic against the sandal itself.
So these are some of the most needed and versatile shoes you could download.
To me, the base game flats have always looked a little too much like slippers… which makes sense considering that’s the very category they’re in.
Flats honestly could and should have their own tab.
Plus they’re incredible – you can use them for Sims of all ages, from all eras.
And these will go great with dresses, skirts, jeans, and shorts… truly one shoe to suit them all!
The small heel on these really makes all the difference in the world.
RenoraSims has transformed them into the tried and true flats everyone knows. And as for the swatches, all 20 of them are lovely – and you’ll never be let down trying to pair these with an outfit.
And this criss-crossing overlapping design is too cool to miss.
They’ll snake around your Sim’s feet and ankles, not unlike the ivy they’re named for.
This open toe block heel style is about as versatile as it gets.
It’s entirely up to your discretion when, wear, and how your Sims should wear them.
In other words, it’s all good.
Even if the rest of their outfit just consists of a skirt and blouse, these heels will be just as lovely as they will when worn with an elaborate gown.
Nothing beats a good slip-on when you want convenience.
Tying up laces is just too much of a hassle to run errands, take out trash, walk the dog… honestly, most activities will do just fine with basic slip-on footwear.
Life really is too short to deal with shoelaces if you don’t need to.
This creator made these shoes highly detailed while still sticking to the Maxis style.
The canvas portion is available in various solid colors, as well as some patterns, like daisies and plaid.
Bringing vintage-inspired pieces into your game is never a bad idea.
Even if these heels look a bit out of place with the typical trendy outfits of young Sims, there are a lot of fun ways you can experiment with them for a new ensemble.
As always, what’s popular comes and goes – and that’s been the story for Oxford shoes since the 1800s.
Now here we are centuries later with a Sim version that offers the best of both worlds.
They’re a little bit old school, but also with slight modern twists like the color schemes. 19th century ladies definitely weren’t rocking pink Oxfords, that much is for certain.
You’ll love these for whenever you want to add a vintage touch to your Sim’s outfit. And don’t forget to experiment with different socks, stockings, and tights!
Flip flops might just be the most definitive warm weather footwear that exists.
Especially if you have Seasons.
That pack deems all sneakers and socks as unfit for hot weather – so whatever sandals you have will be what you’re left with.
I’ll take all the flip flops I can get, honestly.
RenoraSims has brought a fresh new look to them anyways, with these cute beads and flower accents along the strap.
These embody the carefree vibe that every gal strives for during the summer. And they’re quite unique compared to the plain ones that have been around since the base game was released.
What makes these sandals special is the glittery braided strap. It’s a very unique touch – and it’s flawlessly done, you can really zoom in close and appreciate the details.
Through all of the swatches with both dark and light colors, the thin sole maintains the minimalist look typical of most “mule” shoes.
Now I have no idea why they’re actually called that.
They don’t look like donkey hooves or anything. They’re a lot classier, thanks to the slightly squared toe very slim heel.
But your Sim can rock these in any warm weather.
Or in the winter if you happen to not like that Sim.
