I found the unicorn: comfortable heels (light, mens, women)

So I hate heels. Ok not exactly, but I rarely wear shoes over 2 inches. And 2 inches is the magic lime where a show goes from walkable to questionable.

So the other day I saw a oir of heeled mules, on sale, and looked great. I tried them on and found them surprisingly comfortable as I wore them around the store. Not only was the heel super stable, I didn’t notice the height when I wore them. They were well made and a good price. And they were 2.5 inches. So a little high for me.

I decided to take the plunge. They were really cute. And I pictured all sorts of outfits.

I tried them on later that evening at home. Still pretty comfy.

So today was the day. I decided to wear them for drinks in the evening. I knew I’d only need to walk a block. So it was a good test run.

I left home. And I started to worry about slippage in the mules. But after a couple of minutes my fet settled in. I got to the bar, after walking 1 block from the bus stop. Still fine. I stood around for a few minutes waiting for my frjend. I grabbed a seat. So far all good.

It was time to leave, and my friend wanted to get food. 4 blocks away. This is usually the death spell for heels for me.

So we started walking. It took a block to get my stride, but I was getting close to my normal walking pace. We get to the restaurant and my feel felt fine. No issues at all.

I didn’t take the bus home. But the shoes were still feeling fine when I got home.

I was shocked, I felt fine with the prospect of walking a half mile. Unlike usual.

Comsidering I have another, slightly lower pair of mules, witb more padding, that doesn’t quite inspire the same stability and comfort, this was a shock.

And this was the first time I have ever felt a pair of heels was legitimately comfortable. Not comfortable-ish.

And all this time I thought people were lying. These shoes maybe the rare shoe I can wear all day and standing at a party (I often switch into fancier or higher shoes for certain parties).

Jigsaw. Though I haven’t tried other shoes by them. Their shoes appear to largely be made in Italy.

I've found several pair on occasion that really felt good...but it's the rare pair. Glad you found a pair, hang on to them!
