Comfy Heels an Oxymoron?

I love sexy heels, but hate the pain. During the day if running around I usually wear flats, yet social engagements etc. I feel require nice heels. But at times I dread cocktail parties knowing in advance that I will be standing all night. Those are the times when I think to myself that most shoe designers must be sadists seducing us into self-induced torture with their absolutely wicked, must-have designs.

So I tried those little rubbery cushions, some times they work, some times they don’t. I have actually lost a couple when wearing sandals, and to my embarrassment someone pointed it out to me once. Feels weird being watched picking up a little slice of rubber from the floor. Only something falling out of a bra could be worse.

But then years ago I came across a pair of Kenneth Cole heels with built-in cushions. Kenneth Cole shoes are usually too conservative for me; but I really liked those. They were so comfortable! I had new-found hope that shoe designers finally got it! All they needed to do is build in a little pad under the ball of the foot, without sacrificing design. I thought it was the wave of the future, but I was deceived, as this unfortunately seemed an isolated incidence. So I am still hoping.

Lily and Gina, could you please talk to Mr. Louboutin to start a revolution?
