A common reaction from “fashion forward” people who have just heard the phrase “comfort shoe” is typically a disgusted look followed by a sentence including the word “orthopedic”.

I’ve set out to show you the best “comfort shoes” for the fashionable woman. These shoes are great for walking, commuting, shopping days, or just looking good – you’d never believe they were “comfort shoes“…

The Best Flat:

Clarks Women's Bluebird Peep Toe Ballet Flat
Clarks Bluebird Peep Toe Ballet Flat
$43.97 – $67.96 in a million colors from pink to gold!

These are peeptoe flats, so they’re as up on the trends as can be! They come in a ton of colors to go with your current wardrobe, and, for Clarks, they’re affordable as hell!

The Office Shoe:

Women's shoes: Naturalizer Jadore - Black and pewter
Naturalizer “J’adore” in Black and Pewter
$79

Cute enough to wear under trousers, or with a pencil skirt, but not too cute to break your toes while hobbling to the bus stop! I’m loving the Black + Pewter combo, too. They also come in all black.

The Party Shoe:

Women's shoes: Naturalizer Courtney - Dirty nickel metallic
Naturalizer “Courtney” in Dirty Nickel Metallic
$89

Look me in the face and tell me this isn’t impressive… How can you go wrong with a “dirty” metallic t-strap peep-toe?! This shoe is smoldering.

The Perfect Oxford Bootie:

Women's shoes: Indigo by Clarks Paddington - Cafe brown
Indigo by Clarks “Paddington” in Cafe Brown
$100

Now this I did not expect… I just bought my first pair of oxford booties last week (those of you who subscribe to the newsletter already know) and they look EXACTLY LIKE THIS! Mine are comfy, too, but these are luxurious in beautiful brown leather… Scrumptious!

The Saucy Date Shoe:

Women's shoes: Naturalizer Rookie - Black shiny
Naturalizer “Rookie” in Black
$70

Why be uncomfortable teetering in sky-high heels when on a hot date? That just makes you act a foo’. These pumps boast a 3″ heel with a mini-platform and loads of padding to ensure that your legs look a mile long while keeping the comfort to make it all the way… Through the night, that is.

The Most Amazing Boots:

Natural Comfort Women's Cut Up hi heel scrunch boot
Natural Comfort “Cut Up” Scrunch Boot in Black
$179.95 $98.97

As fall quickly approaches our hypothetical doorstep, this post just wouldn’t be complete without a saucy pair of scrunchy boots to slip opaque tights into, or peek out beneath a nice pair of jeans. These also come in a wine/rosey color, if you’re into it, and have a zipper in the rear of the boot shaft.

With all the beautiful ladies I know that use public transportation, walk to school or the store, or just shop until their feet fall off – I know these are suspicious but they really are “comfort shoes”! Just look at the brand names! I know… Naturalizers and Clarks aren’t just for Grandma anymore, are they?

xoxo.
