Some people are bag freaks while others like me are shoe freaks. I want the perfect pair of shoes for any event and by perfect I mean something comfortable. Heels are notorious for causing painful toe blisters or sinking right into the grass, which makes finding the right pair all the more difficult. One lesson I’ve learned? Leave the 5-inch stiletto heels at home if you plan to dance the night away. Ahead are a few options to keep you on your feet, the comfortable way, all day long.


This block heel sandal isn’t just your everyday shoe, it’s suitable for fancy occasions too. It comes in five different colors, but I’m picking a summery yellow to match the floral prints in my summer wedding wardrobe. Let’s call this the all-occasion sandal, shall we?
If you prefer closed-toe pumps, this Francesco Russo pair is my pick for its unique signature flame silhouette. You won’t have to worry about discomfort with the 2.75-inch cigarette heel. Party away!
With a 2.5-inch heel, this Botkier mule is the perfect option if you plan to mingle at the reception. You won’t have to excuse yourself from the conversation with your friend’s cousin’s hot older brother because the straps are digging into your skin.
