On wet days like the ones we've been having this past weekend, I normally like to put on a comfy pair of leather boots (I'm a sucker for boots. I wear them even on hot days, which I justify by blaming office air-conditioning for the "more-than-bearable chill").
Instead, I reached out for a bare pair of strappy heels. I didn't have to worry about getting my toes wet since I was going to have dinner with my family and fiancee inside a mall.
When I first saw this black high-heeled sandals from Stella Luna, I thought it was going to be among my more painful pairs but it was incredibly comfortable.
Firstly, the velcro straps are adjustable, which are great for my small, boney feet.
Secondly, I placed a pair of Hello Heel padded half-insoles to keep my toes from sliding forward so that I can isolate the pressure of my body weight on the back of my feet. Sliding toes are on the top of my high heel-induced pain list.
I highly recommend HelloHeel half-insoles because they're generally cheaper and they don't get as easily soiled as gel inserts. I'll post more on how I've used gel inserts to make my other high heels more comfortable.
HIGH HEEL SAVIOR: HelloHeel Insoles
