Most Comfortable High Heels

When it comes to high heels, a lot of women swear by their Manolos, Choos, or other designer labels. For others, it’s one of the comfort brands.

Me? I tend to be more of a style queen than a label slave. I look for shoes that have chunkier heels and platform soles, and I steer clear of pointy toes, all in an attempt to be more comfortable in heels.

However, one brand that I do find to be pretty consistently comfortable is Nine West.

But, as we all know, one size does not fit all, and one brand doesn’t either.

So, what say ye?

When it comes to high heels, which brands do you find to be the most comfortable? (Use the “Comment” link below to share your thoughts.)

Essential Women’s Shoes

Posted on September 4, 2010 by Comments are off

This list contains the top ten essential women’s shoes. While footwear comes in all styles, shapes, and colors, it never fails, something comes up, and the perfect shoes are nowhere to be found. This list will help solve that problem. Here are the essentials, complete with shopping links.

1. The “Little Black Dress” of Shoes – A Low Heeled Black Pump

A low-heeled, comfortable black pump is essential to every woman’s shoe collection for all those times when a strappy sandal or overly-glamorous shoe is inappropriate or too dressy, like an early dinner; an impromptu business meeting; or even a funeral.

These basic pumps from Fitzwell are versatile enough to pair with anything, and feature heels that are only 2 inches high. As an added bonus, these classically-styled shoes are also available in wide widths.

2. The “New Black” – Neutral Pumps

Even with as versatile as black pumps are, they simply will not go with everything. Add a neutral colored (not white) pump to your collection, and you’ll have the the “basic pump” category of women’s shoes covered. Shoes like these pretty pumps from Stuart Weitzman offer a classic look that will work season after season, and year after year.

Why Polish Leather Shoes?

The best quality shoes are made of top grade leather, but if you don’t take care of them, even the nicest leather can look terrible over time.

Though many of us love high heels, others don’t wear them very often. Some are intimidated by high heels, while others have just never had the occasion to wear high heels.
