The good news about shoes this season is that anything goes. Wedges are
back but if you don't like wedges, studded gladiator sandals are here to stay.
So are open-toed booties, electric-hued kitten heels, stilettos with ruffles
and rosettes and platforms, platforms, platforms. My feet are so tiny (size 5) that the severe angle of a great, sexy heel like, say, Jimmy Choo's woven leather sandals with neon detailing- a killer at 4.7 inches and $1395!- would equal crippling pain, in more ways than one.

Still, if I feel like going for it, here's a trick that helps: gel cushions. I don't know why I didn't try these earlier. Maybe because the idea seems like something my grandma would have suggested. But they work! Topshop has a pack of 2 for $10. You'll only have to invest in one a season. And why not use the remaining cash to add a sunny pop of color to any outfit? Score these canary yellow open-toe wooden slingbacks for just $12.99!
