It’s often said that beauty is pain. Fortunately, I don’t buy into that. Of course – there is the occasional shoe that is just too beautiful to pass up despite the cuts and bruises it may cause. But there is almost nothing worse than hobbling around in excruciating foot pain. And if you can’t walk in them – don’t wear them.
In that vein – lets ogle some flats that are as pretty as they are sensible.

Or when all else fails – put a wedge on it. I’m a huge proponent of the wedge. I actually find them more comfortable than a flat most of the time. Grab one that hugs your foot just right and be able to run a marathon without sacrificing your artificial height.

Today’s IRL shoe comes from yours truly. These babies have become my everyday shoe. Perfect height, perfect comfort, perfect amount of dressy-ness, perfect amount of bad-ass-ness.
Sorry ladies! I got them second hand from a buffalo exchange. So these bad boys are all mine.
