Women's party and event shoes: the quick guide
For weddings, races, work dos and nights out, you want something that looks dressy and still feels fine after a few hours. The range is mostly heels, courts and dressy sandals.
Pick by occasion:
- Weddings and races: a heel like the Bridgit, Mercury or Ibiza.
- Work functions: a court shoe like the Kadee, Clara or Zarey Bow.
- Dancing or long nights: a lower, wider heel will feel better for longer.
Heels you can stand in
Most of the pain from heels comes from your foot sliding forward. A strap across the foot, a cushioned footbed and a block heel make the biggest difference. Wear new heels around the house before the big day. For more choice, see heels and wedges and women's sandals.
Frequently asked questions
What heels are comfortable for a wedding?
A block heel or a sandal with an ankle strap. Both keep your foot steady, which helps on grass and over a long day.
How do I break in new heels before an event?
Wear them at home for an hour or two a few times beforehand. A gel cushion under the ball of the foot can help.
