Urban Myth or Available and For Sale?
The #1 styling request that I get from virtually all of my clients is “Can you find me comfortable work shoes that are stylish AND don’t kill my feet?” The answer is a resounding “YES!” Thanks to designers like Sofft and Cole Haan’s Nike Air technology, it is actually possible to be on your feet for more than 8 hours in something other than flats. Nothing pains me more than watching women sacrifice an otherwise great outfit with “Pilgrim shoes” that are clunky, masculine and look like they have survived Katrina. Not OK.
Ladies, rejoice!! The only options you have for being on your feet all day are not limited to flat, hideous orthopedic shoes OR 5 inch stiletto’s … there is actually a magical alternative waiting to be introduced to your feet like Cinderella’s slipper. Meet the slingback & the low wedge.
They are stylish, feminine & available in a number of textures. My favorites are either a patent leather slingback like the one pictured above or a strappy suede finish like this stunner below.
Your accessories are the finishing touches towards turning a good outfit into a GREAT outfit! Let your foot candy steal the show and keep you standing up for an after work encore. Even if you’ve sworn off heels entirely, these sassy shoes will regain your trust in a little lift. Besides, wearing even a low heel makes your butt look smaller & your legs appear longer so get to steppin & reclaim your womanhood!
