Comfortable Heels: What Women Want

Impractically slim stilettos, platform pumps, and sky-high sandals are the norm these days, but if you're not a celebrity wearing them for a 10-minute red carpet stint, how practical are they? With treacherous statement shoes dominating the retail shelves, walkable heels are increasingly hard to find. Well, apparently there are still some sensible stars out there! Kathy Ireland and Sarah Jessica Parker have answered our high heel prayers with their own comfortable shoe lines. Women's Wear Daily reports that the supermodel supermogul and "Sex and the City" actress will both be releasing footwear collections for the spring of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Awesome, but we can't wait that long. We reached out to Meghan Cleary, footwear expert and author of "Shoe Are You?" to help us track down heels that straddle what she refers to as the "style/comfort spectrum we all walk along as women." Here are the most wearable pairs on the market today.
