“In viewing your outfits for the week I noticed you wear several super cute pumps. Living in the city and taking public transportation, do you walk to work in these shoes? Do you just suck it up? I KNOW you don’t go "Maid in Manhattan" style and wear the dreaded tennis shoes with socks. What’s your secret?"
Response: Old ladies around the world will tell you “Heels are bad for your back.” I can hear the lecture now “I remember the day I used to wear 4 inch heels, but not anymore. They destroyed my back and my arches have fallen.” I am sure this is true, and trust me, I don’t want a bad back, but I cannot live without heels. Without them, it would be like a world without colored tights, headbands or Gossip Girl...All in all, it would be a drab world.
However, in an effort to spare my back, I sport comfy stylish flats over heels when walking to work or running errands. Look, I love heels as much as the next girl, but I don’t love them enough to walk to work in heels. The truth is – I have nerves in my feet and my feet would be in pain by the time I got to work. Plus my chances of falling or tripping would undoubtedly increase ten-fold. I’ve taken some pretty nasty spills in my day thanks to heels. So I choose to sacrifice a little height for comfort, but never style. An FYI girls, not wearing heels doesn’t give you an excuse to wear heinous flats or tennis shoes. There are plenty of stylish flats out there that can dress up any outfit just like heels. With the trends always changing, I like to find affordable flats and change it up each season.
Here are some extremely affordable and stylish flats…
