Sometimes you force yourself to buy a practical shoe. Stilettos are a blast to look at but can’t take you through the livelong day. My initial reasons for buying these were comfort and ease, even though I thought they were teetering towards the dumpy side – big wedge, flat sole? But, no, I got them, I love them, and they have proven to be totally hot for dressing up casual looks. With an emphasis on casual! No, you cannot hit the town wearing these with your sexy-glam evening look. Casual hot is a world apart from decked-out hot. Wearing shoes that are like flats with ample height are still, in essence, flats. The elastic straps go on easily and has give for a comfortable stride; how I love the rare stretchy strap that finally doesn’t look like sad, practical elastic. Revel in the comfort and also the way these put wow into a breezy summer dress, cropped pants, short-shorts, and flirty skirts, especially in white. Metallic silver is insane with white! Even more amazing? Bright blue polish on your toes, for a haute Judy Jetson vibe. On Net-a-Porter for $295.
Pair with: Silver wedges plus blue toes plus black-and-white checkered Marni bowler equals a winning look for your summer days. Marni Woven Leather and Raffia Tote, $2,015.
