The Range of Popular Women's Footwear at Westside
This bestselling women's footwear edit pulls from across Westside's footwear catalogue rather than from a single category, so flats sit alongside heels, sneakers, ballerinas and flip flops in one place. Shoppers who already know which silhouette suits them can also browse the dedicated category pages directly, while those who are still deciding can use this collection to compare styles side by side before narrowing down. Because the edit spans several categories at once, it works well as a starting point when a wardrobe needs more than one pair at a time, such as before a festive season or a change in weather.
Westside's own navigation groups women's footwear under View All, New In, Flats, Heels, Ballerinas, Sneakers, Flip Flops or Slides, Artisanals and Monsoon Ready, and this bestsellers collection is built to reflect a cross-section of those categories rather than replace any one of them. Each section below links through to the relevant category for shoppers who want to go deeper into a specific style.
Flats and Ballerinas
Flats remain one of the most reached-for categories in women's footwear because they pair easily with both western and ethnic outfits. Westside's flats and sandals for women carry a mix of closed and open silhouettes, while the dedicated ballerina styles suit anyone who prefers a soft, rounded toe and a low profile for daily wear.
Heels and Sandals
Heels cover a wider range of occasions than many shoppers expect, from a low block heel worn through a full workday to a dressier pair saved for evenings out. Westside's heels and sandals for women includes varying heel heights and finishes, which makes it easier to pick a pair based on how long it needs to be worn rather than on looks alone.
Sneakers and Flip Flops
Sneakers have moved well beyond gym wear and now anchor a large share of everyday outfits, which is reflected in Westside's sneakers for women range. For warmer days and at-home or poolside wear, the flip flops and slides category offers a lighter, low-maintenance alternative that still works for quick errands outside the house.
Artisanal and Monsoon-Ready Styles
Westside's artisanal footwear line brings handcrafted detailing into the mix for shoppers who want something with more character than a plain everyday pair. Separately, the monsoon-ready footwear selection is built around India's rainy season, giving shoppers a category to turn to when regular flats or sandals are not practical for wet weather.
How to Choose Among Popular Styles for Different Occasions
Picking from a bestselling women's footwear edit is easier once the occasion is clear, since the same shoe rarely works equally well for a nine-hour workday and a late evening event. Thinking about where a pair will spend most of its time, rather than only how it looks on the shelf, narrows the choice faster.
Work and Daily Wear
For office wear and long days on your feet, a flat, a low block heel or a well-cushioned sneaker tends to outlast a high heel in day-to-day comfort. These styles also travel well between a commute, a desk and a quick errand without needing a change of shoes.
Festive and Evening Wear
Festive and evening occasions call for pairs that lean dressier, such as embellished flats, heeled sandals or a heel from the artisanal range. Since these styles are worn for shorter stretches, shoppers can prioritise how a pair looks and coordinates with an outfit over how long it can be worn continuously. Many shoppers also keep one such pair aside specifically for weddings and festive gatherings, since these occasions tend to repeat through the year, and having a dressier option ready means less last-minute shopping.
Monsoon and Travel
During the monsoon months or while travelling, flip flops, slides or styles from the monsoon-ready category hold up better than delicate fabrics or fully closed shoes that take longer to dry. A second, sturdier pair kept aside for wet days also protects the rest of a footwear collection from unnecessary wear. For travel specifically, a flat or flip flop that can be packed flat and worn for long hours without needing a break-in period tends to work better than a new, unworn pair.
What Makes a Footwear Style Widely Liked
Across most popular women's footwear ranges, a few traits come up again and again when shoppers explain why a pair earns repeat use. Comfort across a full day, rather than just in the first hour, is usually the first factor, since a shoe that pinches by midday rarely gets worn a second time. A sole that offers steady grip matters just as much, particularly during the monsoon or on tiled and marble floors common in Indian homes and offices.
Fit is the next consideration, since a pair that runs even slightly large or small at the heel or toe tends to feel less comfortable however good it looks. Checking a brand's size guide before buying, rather than assuming sizes match across brands, helps avoid this. Finally, a style that pairs with more than one type of outfit, such as a flat that works with both jeans and a kurta, naturally gets more wear than one built for a single look, which is part of why flats, ballerinas and simple sneakers remain common picks across bestselling sandals for women and everyday footwear alike.
Colour is another practical factor shoppers tend to underrate. A neutral shade such as black, tan, nude or white works across more outfits than a bold print or a single bright colour, which is one reason these shades turn up often among trending footwear for women every season. That does not rule out a bolder pair for occasions where standing out is the point, but most wardrobes benefit from having at least one or two neutral, easy-to-match pairs as a base before adding statement styles on top. Keeping these basics in a wardrobe also makes it easier to shop women's favourite footwear styles with a clearer sense of what is actually missing, rather than buying on impulse.

FAQs
- What does "best selling footwear for women" mean on this Westside page?
- It refers to a curated collection that brings together popular styles from across Westside's women's footwear range, including flats, heels, ballerinas, sneakers and flip flops. Instead of browsing every category one by one, shoppers can use this page as a single starting point to compare widely liked styles side by side before deciding what to buy.
- What types of women's footwear are included in this collection?
- The collection spans flats, heels and sandals, ballerinas, sneakers, flip flops and slides, along with Westside's artisanal footwear line and a monsoon-ready selection. Together these give a broad cross-section of the categories shoppers look for most often, from everyday basics to dressier and weather-specific options.
- Does this collection include flats for everyday wear?
- Yes, flats are part of this edit. They are also available in more detail on Westside's dedicated flats and sandals category for women, which covers both closed and open silhouettes suited to daily wear, office days and casual outings without needing a dressier heel.
- Are heels available in this bestsellers edit?
- Yes, the collection includes heels alongside flats and sandals. The range covers lower block heels suited to longer wear through the day as well as dressier styles kept for evenings and special occasions, with the full selection browsable on Westside's dedicated heels and sandals category page.
- What are Westside's artisanal footwear styles?
- Artisanal footwear is Westside's line of handcrafted designs with added detailing, offered as its own category alongside the more everyday flats, heels, sneakers and sandals featured in this bestsellers collection. It suits shoppers looking for a pair with a little more character than a plain everyday style.
- Is there footwear suited for the monsoon season in this collection?
- Yes, Westside maintains a monsoon-ready footwear category that is included within this bestsellers edit. It is built for shoppers who need sturdier, weather-appropriate styles during the rainy months, as an alternative to delicate fabrics or fully closed shoes that take longer to dry out between wears.
- How do I choose between flats and heels for everyday wear?
- For long days on your feet or a typical office routine, a flat or a low block heel generally holds up better than a high heel over several hours. It helps to save higher heels for occasions where you are seated more often, or on your feet for shorter stretches at a time.
- What footwear from this collection suits festive or wedding season occasions?
- Embellished flats, heeled sandals and styles from the artisanal range tend to suit festive and wedding occasions best. These styles are generally designed to be worn for shorter periods and to coordinate with dressier outfits, rather than for the all-day comfort that office or casual footwear needs to offer.
- Can I find sneakers for women in this edit?
- Yes, sneakers are part of this collection. They are also browsable in full on Westside's dedicated sneakers for women category page, which is worth checking separately if you specifically want to compare sneaker styles against each other rather than against flats or heels.
- Are flip flops and slides included in this collection?
- Yes, flip flops and slides are included here and also sit under their own category on the Westside site. They are a useful option for warmer days, at-home wear or quick errands, and tend to be lighter and lower maintenance than most other styles in this edit.
- How is this bestsellers collection different from Westside's full women's footwear range?
- This page gathers a cross-section of popular styles pulled from several footwear categories at once, while the full women's footwear range covers every style Westside stocks, including recent arrivals that have not yet had time to build the same following as the styles featured here.
- Does Westside offer ballerina flats for women?
- Yes, ballerinas are included in this bestsellers collection and also have their own dedicated category on the Westside site. They suit shoppers who specifically want a soft, rounded-toe silhouette with a low profile, rather than a pointed flat or a strappy sandal.
- What should I check before buying footwear online from this collection?
- It helps to check the size guide on each product page before ordering, since sizing can vary by style and brand. It is also worth thinking about which occasion or type of wear the pair is intended for, so you are choosing between a flat, a heel or a sneaker based on actual use rather than looks alone.
- Where can I see the newest arrivals in women's footwear at Westside?
- Westside's New In section for women's footwear is kept separate from this bestsellers collection and is the place to check for the most recently added styles across flats, heels, sneakers and other categories, before they have had the chance to become part of an established edit like this one.
- Is this collection built around only one type of occasion?
- No, the collection is built to cover multiple occasions at once, from daily and office wear to festive events and monsoon days, rather than focusing on a single use case. That range is part of why it works as a starting point for shoppers who need more than one pair at a time.
