Christmas is less than a week away and the holiday clock is ticking! Time is of the essence, so you’ve got to make every last shopping excursion count. And of course the proper footwear is an imperative part of getting the job done!

Only five more shopping days until Christmas...

So, in the spirit of the holiday season ShoesTV has put together a list of the top five shoe styles that are guaranteed to get you all the way from the long hours of bobbing and weaving through the mall, to the long lines at the retail counter, to returning home victorious in your mission of finding the perfect gifts.

Athletic Shoes
Athletic shoes may not be the most fashion-forward footwear option out there, but when it comes to comfort and support they can’t be beat. Not only will they keep your feet warm during this chilly holiday season, but they’re guaranteed to keep back and foot aches to a minimum.

Ballet Flats
For folks who are living in the Sun Belt, ballet flats will definitely help you make it through hours of holiday shopping. The key is to choose shoes that offer plenty of cushioning and support.

Flat Boots
There will be plenty of time for you to sport sexy sky-high heels this holiday season, but for now you need to keep it flat (or at least as flat as possible). Flat boots not only provide comfort and warmth, but since they range in lengths from ankle to mid-calf to thigh-high they’re perhaps the most versatile option of them all.

Soft and Furry
Just about any shoe with a soft, furry lining will make your feet feel warm and comfortable as you dash through the cold from boutique to boutique.

Low Riders
For the ladies who absolutely insist on wearing some type of heel while you're on the go, you’ve got to keep it as low as possible. Boots and booties with a modest heel are a great option.
