Miranda Slingback Pump (Women)

I gave up on heels and pointed-toe (uncomfortable, feet-wrecking) shoes after the pandemic. But with increasing demand for in-person work events, I wanted something that could be paired with a power suit or that would still elongate my legs in a shorter skirt or dress. These shoes fit that bill without killing my feet by the end of a work day. I have not yet stood in them for hours at a social function, but they seem fairly comfortable. I have wide, problematic bunions, and sizing up in these shoes allowed me to wear them without pain. The $50 price is in line with the quality you’d expect from a faux leather patent shoe. So I don’t expect them to last forever. But the tortoise patent is chic, and a fun “neutral.”

I have to start wearing kitten heels since I ruined my feet wearing 5” heels for the past 30 years. Yes, it hurts to write that. I love heels! These are cute. They are comfy. It was between this and the Calvin Klein brand. This one felt like it is a more stable heel. They are narrow, but might stretch out with wear. I wear a 7 in heels and my heel is right at the end, but not hanging over. I didn’t size up in case they do stretch. They are cute and perfect for work.
