Her top picks include affordable investment styles as well as luxury investment brands, so there’s something here for you no matter what your budget or style is. Ahead, she shares the five cool shoe brands she loves and always dresses her roster of celebrity clients in.
Amina Muaddi
There's no doubt that Amina Muaddi has one of the biggest cult followings among the fashion set, and Maeve Reilly is another fan of the brand. "I am big-time obsessed with Amina Muaddi," Reilly explains. "I say this all the time. She's my go-to in my closet. I probably wear her the most."
Shop Amina Muaddi:
Nike
Another brand she can't get enough of for everyday looks? Nike. Reilly's top picks from the brand include Air Jordan 1 and Air Force sneakers. Take a styling note from Hailey Bieber, and pair them with something unexpected, like the pink minidress she was recently snapped wearing above.

GIA/RHW
Earlier this year, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley launched a shoe collaboration with Gia Couture, which the fashion set has been quickly snapping up. Reilly is a big fan of the collection. "They're so good and so comfortable," she explains. "It's truly the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn."
Bottega Veneta
A shoe list wouldn't be complete without a mention of Bottega Veneta, and Reilly notes that the brand's heels are topping her must-buy list. "I'm wearing a lot of Bottega," she explains. ''The Bottega mule is so comfortable. I feel like that was definitely my first heel post-quarantine."
Shop Bottega Veneta:
Femme LA
Femme is a rising brand you may or may not be familiar with but already has a loyal following among celebrities, including Bieber. "I cannot get [Bieber] out of this heel called Femme," she notes. "It's 200 bucks and such a sexy, sexy shoe. And I mean, she has every color."
