How to Find Your Most Comfy Heels Based on Your Personality
Alright, let’s get one thing straight. No matter what kind of heel person you are, comfort has to be part of the equation. Whether you’re walking down the office hallway, exploring a new city, or going to the newest restaurant in town… Your heels should make you feel good every step of the way. So, let’s find the heel that’s truly meant for you. Here’s a little guide to help you discover your most comfy heels based on your unique personality (yes, even if you’re a glamqueen who normally suffers for style!). Let’s get into it!
The Classic Chic
You appreciate clean fashion, timeless shapes, and a heel collection that screams sophistication. You need heels that will last through every fashion season, whether you're at a business meeting or a weekend brunch with your girls.
Watch out for: Hard insoles and stiff leather. Timeless brands like Chanel are known for having heels that have stiff soles. So please keep that in mind and it will take a while before the soles will become agile.
Comfy solution: Go for heels with flexible leather that break in nicely over time. You might also want a sturdy block heel for that all-day comfort. Pick soft, padded insoles to make the still soles more wearable.
Brands to try: Sam Edelman, Charles & Keith and Miu Miu has some beautiful classic styles with innovative comfort technology that’ll keep you feeling as good as you look.
The Glam Queen
You’re all about the sparkle, shimmer, and glamorous factor. A night out without a touch of glam? Not a chance! You love show-stopping heels that turn heads and capture attention.
Watch out for: Super high heels with thin soles! They may look fabulous but can put a lot of pressure on the ball of your foot, especially after wearing them for hours.
Comfortable solution: Look for heels with a slight platform. This adds that comfort layer underneath the balls of your feet. By wearing heels with a platform you won’t sacrifice height. They actually add an extra bit of cushion for those long evenings. Also, gel inserts can be a lifesaver!
Brands to try: Check out Boohoo, Tony Biance & Public Desire for some glamour heels that still has enough support to keep you dancing.
The Adventurer
You’re always on the move, whether it’s exploring a new city, hiking a trail, or dancing under the stars at a festival. You need heels that can keep up with your adventurous self.
Watch out for: Super high heels or fragile styles like thinly strapped heels. They’ll slow you down and limit your movement.
Comfy solution: Wedges or chunky heels are your best friends. They offer stability and comfort while giving you a boost in height. Plus, they’re easier to walk in on different terrains, from cobblestones to grass.
Brands to try: Try Clarks, Pashion Heels & Sneex for adventure-ready heeled sneakers, convertible heels and chunky heels that you can walk in for hours.
The Luxury Cat
You’re all about the finer things, and your heels are no exception. If it’s not designer, high-quality, and head-turning, it’s just not worth it. You love heels that scream luxury without saying a word.
Watch out for: Heels that are all show, no comfort. MANY luxury brands focus more on aesthetics than on how they’ll actually feel on your feet.
Comfy solution: Look for designer brands that incorporate comfort technology, like arch support or padded footbeds, without compromising on style.
Brands to try: Jimmy Choo offers beautiful, high-quality styles with a touch of comfort. Or check out Tory Burch for luxurious, timeless designs that don’t skimp on support. Also check out Jacquemus & Amina Muaddi
The Trendsetter
You’re here to make a statement and your heels are as unique as you are. You don’t follow any trend you are the trend. So when a brand comes out with shoes that many find ridiculous you will run towards it. You’re not afraid to experiment and stand out.
Watch out for: Designs that look great but might be tough to walk in. Trendy shapes and materials can sometimes be unforgiving to your feet.
Comfy solution: Look for brands that combine unique designs with practicality. Look for heels that are still wearable, even if they’re super eye-catching.
Brands to try: Check out Jenniferle, Jeffrey Campbell & Jacquemus for fun, bold designs with a touch of comfort. They have some quirky styles that don’t sacrifice wearability.
The Corporate Queen
You’re all about making moves and closing deals, and you need heels that are as powerful and professional as you are. Whether it’s a big presentation or a board meeting, you need heels that exude confidence and authority.
Watch out for: Heels that look professional but have narrow toe boxes or lack arch support. You’ll be wearing these heels for long hours, so they HAVE TO BE COMFORTABLE!
Comfy solution: Go for block heels or kitten heels with a slightly wider toe design. These styles give you the professional look you want, with the comfort you need.
Brands to try: Naturalizer is fantastic for stylish yet comfortable office heels. Or try Everlane & Clarks for sleek, minimalist styles that don’t compromise on comfort.
