Top 3 Stylish yet Comfortable Shoes

One of the woes all women have in common is how to combine style and comfort. Why should we have to give up ‘sexy’ for comfort? Here are three shoe styles you can rock to achieve both.


Ballerina Flats
You have seen the ballerina style shoe – the ones inspired by ballet slippers. First Lady Michelle Obama rocks them on a regular basis. They’re a versatile shoe that you can sport with jeans (especially skinny jeans), skirts (at the knee or higher), capris, and shorts. This style tends to make your leg look shorter though, so adjust the length of your garments accordingly. For example, short legs should rock them with a shorter skirt showing more leg. If you feel like dressing up the outfit, get them in a metallic color.

Wedge Heels
Wedge heels continue to be popular this season. This heel is one of the most comfortable you will ever wear. You tend to forget the height of the heel, because they provide excellent support running from the heel to the toe. If you’re not experienced with wearing heels or you want to try a higher heel, you may want to start with these, because they are a lot easier to walk in. Keep in mind that they come with a low heel and a high heel – it’s your choice. Rock them with all types of skirts, shorts, boot leg or flared jeans, and dresses. Stay away from tight fitting clothing though.

Platform Heels
Platform heels tend to be more comfortable also because they provide great support at the balls of your feet and the heel tends to be sturdy. Some of the more recent styles feature stiletto heels so stick with the more traditional heel for comfort. Rock them with shorter length dresses/skirts or boot leg/flared jeans.

You have three great choices. Sport the ones that flatter your body type the best. Remember, although they’re comfortable, they are not made for a marathon so wear them in moderation.
