Comfort + Stylish Shoes for the Woman on the Go


I have a problem.
I walk toward the shoe section at Nordstrom and I just.can't.help.it.
My legs are on auto-pilot and within seconds I find myself standing before the most beautiful selection of unreasonably sky-high heels!

For most of us, these gorgeous 4-inch heels are not ideal for everyday wear.  

So I spent the past weekend on a special assignment...doing research and finding stylish shoes + trying them on to gauge comfort.  And I'm happy to say that we have a few winners!



1  /  2  /   3  /  4  /  5

All of these shoes were built with comfort in mind.
The true test?  How do your feet feel at 5pm?

What are your go-to stylish comfort shoes?  
Any designers/brands we should know about?

I love my Stuart Weitzman shoes, I believe they are the most comfortable pumps that I can wear all day long!

Anything with a wedge! Looks dressy enough for work and my feet aren't killing me come 4 o'clock!
Love your picks though!

I so agree with you - I always gravitate to these gorgeous sky high heels but then realize that not only can I not walk in them, but they are not very functional for my lifestyle -- teacher and school counselor. My favorites right now are my Tory Burch flats and wedges for work!

A lady has got to have her shoes!!! Love all these picks. Really, some of the shoe designs are beyond realistic wear. Thankful to see some great shoes that can make a day! Good work.

Oh #2 is just too cute! I am the same way when I'm in Nordstrom, it's like my feet have magnets on them and they are just pulled towards the shoe section!

I am a sucker for a clean, fresh, low heeled, nude pump. They just go with EVERYTHING!

I love these! Heels are sooo pretty but they demand a sacrifice. Glad that you found these comfortable yet stylish choices!

Thanks for this post! I definitely need it...my feet are sore all of the time! I own a ton of Nine West basic pumps, which are by far the most comfortable shoes I have. For flats, I stick to my Tory Burch Reva's in the soft leather which are super comfortable too (I find the patent and embossed one not as comfortable as the plain leather).

I am a sucker for shoes too. Most days, I will sacrifice comfort for style :)

I grew up in Hawaii so I wore flip flops most days. At the office, you can catch me most time bare foot at my desk. So when 5 pm comes around, my feet won't be barking.

I'm in sales in NYC so I'm always running around in and out of subways, but I refuse to wear flats. My go to shoes for busy days are Kate Spade and pumps or anything with a 3 1/2 inch heel or less! Love these options, thanks!
