Hmm, this is a tough thing to address because heels can be a pain in the ass (literally!). So, first ask yourself, do you have to wear heels to work? It’s easy enough to find that out – how many of your colleagues are wearing flats? Are you comfortable in flats? See, this Bad Girls loves the authoritative click-clack that a fierce pair of stiletto pumps makes while walking down the wooden hallway between offices. Aside from that, the office I work at kind of mandates heels, even the director admits “this is all about appearance” (and no, I do not work for a magazine!).
So, if flats don’t work for you head over to the mall (afternoon-ish, preferably) and look for something that’s low to medium heeled (one to two inches will do), preferably in a black leather (invest in a good pair, especially if you’ll be wearing them everyday!) and basic shape. Basic pumps (round toe or pointy toed will do).
Before you buy, walk around (a lot). Things to avoid? Your foot sliding in and out or feeling like your toes are crammed. If they’re too high now, they’ll be too high at work. If they hurt, DON’T get them.
Now, after you’ve found the perfect pair head over to the accessories section and pick up some inserts, usually foam or gel. You can also get them at a local pharmacy. These will make your day so much more pleasureable, take my word for it.
PS – This Bad Girl wears Aldo’s “Sandee” black pump.
