Most times, owing to the discomfort, pain, and stress heeled shoes must have caused us in the past, we have built resentment towards wearing them overtime. Factually, heels can be a pain, but wearing them is kinda a must because they compliment our outfits most of the time.
Usually, heels are sometimes uncomfortable like I said but some brands have made wearing heels as comfortable as wearing flats or even sneakers and that’s because they are intentional about creating comfortable shoes; based on implementing the process for making these comfortable heels—in that they rely on adapting cushioning and flexibility that mimics the natural movement of your feet added with a reasonably low, more balanced heel height and other features. As a fashion editor, I spend most of my time on my feet up and about and I can assure you having worn a number of brands, I can tell for a fact the go-to brands you should look out for.
Amazingly, just when you thought it was the end of your heeled shoe collection as you know it, boom! I bring to you some news that will make you feel delightful: Comfortable heels aren’t folktales, they actually exist!
- Staud
Staud heels are absolutely trendy, comfortable and very wearable with a number of outfits. The brand known mostly for their structural leather bags recently entered the world of shoes and i can say they nailing it! The “Ann” sandal is one of my favorites. Croc embossed with square toes made of straps that don’t dig in too tightly, this sandal is not only trendy but serves the right heel height you need.
