Pointy toes and skinny heels

These types of shoes used to make me want to vomit. Ironically, now I love them. I think they are elegant and beautiful and can dress up ANY outfit. Why the change in opinion? I don't know. Perhaps I never will know. But what matters is the fact that I find myself reaching for this gorgeous pair almost every workday:

Want/Own: OWN!

From: Walmart

Price: $12.00

Comfort: 4 out of 5

The lower heel makes them easier to walk in, yet still incredibly classy. The toe area is starting to crease some which is probably a result of being a cheaper material (this is from walmart after all!) and also because I wear them- A LOT.

I prefer to wear them with pants, I feel like it makes me look just a little bit edgier and professional. I'm sure they'd be awesome with capris/skirts/dresses as well, but I haven't tried that yet. So far it's been my primary choice with dress slacks.

Very comfortable to wear to work (lots of standing, walking, etc). However I did wear them once on a very busy shift for about 8 hours and THAT was a little painful. I'd say they have about a 5-6 hour limit for excessive walking etc. Otherwise when excessive walking is NOT on the menu they are perfectly comfortable- no blisters, no aching.

I also have a pair of boots that are similar to these shoes (the reason which inspired me to find shoes in this style). While they look frighteningly uncomfortable I have to say- if the toe isn't too narrow and the heel not too high they are actually more comfortable than any of my other dress shoes/boots.

Depending on how well these hold up, I may invest in a sturdier pair of higher quality. I think I am going to keep my eyes open at thrift stores for similar shoes that are gently used but of better quality. I'm sure if they weren't one of my top favorite pairs they would last forever, but at this rate I'm thinking within a year or so they might be finding their way to the trash. . . we will see.

So there you go. More to come as I find time!
