Kyle Richards Declares Her “Barefoot” Shoes a Fall Wardrobe Essential — And Yes, They’re on Amazon
Jaden Patel here. Let’s all take a moment to pretend we’re shocked that a Real Housewives star prefers comfort over pain. Kyle Richards has a new footwear confession and a full fall capsule of surprisingly relatable picks, and no, she did not sacrifice her dignity for fashion.
Kyle Richards, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills original, told viewers during her Amazon Live that she refuses to “suffer for beauty” when it comes to shoes. In her own words, these particular slip-ons are “very cute and comfortable — so comfortable that I don’t even feel like I have shoes on.” That quote is the headline because it is the most honest thing anyone has declared about footwear in 2025.
Richards’ Amazon-curated picks cover practical staples and seasonal splurges that read less like celebrity excess and more like the sensible fall wardrobe you might actually wear. Her shoe love centers on an affordable pair that she swears gives the sensation of walking barefoot. She emphasized the neutral camel tone for its versatility, noting “they just go with everything neutral” and reinforcing the idea that a single comfortable shoe can be the backbone of multiple outfits.
Beyond footwear, Kyle offered an itinerary of items meant to carry a closet through crisp days and casual nights. A soft black turtleneck — described as “a really, really soft good basic” — gets credit for being longer on someone of Kyle’s 5’2″ stature, and she highlighted sizes Small to XL so average humans can find a fit. An unremarkable but crucial sweatshirt made the cut because it has pockets and looks good, available up to XXL in ten colors, which is the fashion equivalent of a safety net.
For those who like layers, Kyle praised a denim “shacket” in a dark wash, noting it feels dressier than your average jean shirt and functions as a transitional piece. She also recommended a trench coat, calling it “a forever piece” and reminding us that dependability is, apparently, a mood now.
Of course, no Housewives style roll call is complete without family references. Kyle pointed out a leopard-print midi skirt — a nod to sister Kathy Hilton’s wardrobe sensibilities — calling leopard a “staple or a basic with black boots or black flats.” She also mentioned Garcelle Beauvais’ stint with a Bottega-style bag and presented a budget-friendly dupe, because nothing says friendship like recommending affordable knockoffs on camera.
Kyle leaned hard into practicality with shapewear and black yoga pants she calls staples. Her endorsements came with social proof: several items carry thousands of five-star Amazon reviews, like jeans with over 3,200 glowing ratings and leggings boasting nearly 38,000 positive marks. Kyle’s pitch is equal parts lived-in comfort and crowd-sourced approval.
Stylistically, the picks skew toward neutrals and repeatable silhouettes: camel loafers, black turtlenecks, dark denim, trench coats, and stretchy waistbands for the patriotic act of eating without unbuttoning. She praised colors that channel “basic B vibes and pumpkin spice latte vibes,” which translates to cozy, safe, and currently marketable.
This is not haute couture; it is a practical playbook from an L.A. socialite who prefers cushioned soles. Kyle’s Amazon Live felt less like an influencer sale and more like fashion therapy for people who demand both style and mercy from their shoes.
Final thought: she swears by these shoes because she can walk, breathe, and attend brunch without regretting every life choice made between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Tune in next time for more comfortable confessions and vetted wardrobe wins.
