Sporty and feminine—and majorly discounted—it's the perfect gift to yourself for surviving the busy season. Purchase it here, or via Shopbop.

ALL BLACK Crinkle Skimmer Flat

ALL BLACK Crinkle Skimmer Flat

Sky high heels tend to win out over comparably less flashy flats during the height of party season, but this glittery pair of skimmers by ALL BLACK pose some competition to sexy stilettos. Their sparkly, crinkled gold upper and ankle-hugging leather strap make all the difference, adding shine to dress up casual outfits or give you a comfortable—yet still glamorous—footwear option for evening soirees. At $130.00, you really can't go wrong in look or price with these.

New Kid Isuke Boots

New Kid Isuke Boots

The combination of purple lizard-printed skin and gold grommet lace loops on these boots immediately caught our discerning editors' eyes. A breath of fresh air in the face of so many black knee-highs and ho-hum galoshes, you can embrace the boho-meets-rock 'n' roll aesthetic by throwing on this pair of funky, comfy footwear  with a printed dress a lá Etro. $189.00 via Gargyle.

Marais Heeled Chelsea Boots

Marais Heeled Chelsea Boots

From a label named after one of our favorite districts in Paris, this stacked heeled boot doesn't have many bells and whistles but is comfy, functional, and extremely versatile. Wear it with tights and a frilly dress or slim jeans and an oversized cashmere sweater, for instance. No matter how you style it, rest assured it'll withstand splashing around in many a rain puddle this season.

DSquared SkateMoss Boot

DSquared SkateMoss Boot

'Tis the season for ice rinks, hot toddies, and breaking out your best Michelle Kwan moves. Second only to bowling shoes, used ice skates are a germ- and style-o-phobe's greatest horror, and they're a necessary evil if you want to partake of the double axel fun. But if you have $1,700 to spare, DSquared has a stilettoed pseudo-solution for you: the SkateMoss boot, named after you-know-who.

We say "pseudo-solution" because with a rubbered sole, you can't actually skate in the six-inch tall boots. You can, however, sip on spiked hot chocolate dressed in your SkateMosses, mittens, a cozy scarf and chicly observe families as they whoosh by you on the ice. That might be all the excitement a high maintenance heel lover could want.
