The One Pair of Heels You Should Invest In by the Time You're 40

Updated

After decades of dressing yourself, you’ve figured out what clothes work for you. (Yes to waist-defining dresses; no to hip-hugger jeans.) Refining your shoe collection, on the other hand, can be a bit tricky. There are just so many options. 

Where heels are concerned, there's one style in particular every woman should own: A pair of pumps you feel comfortable walking in for an entire day. 

Sure, a four- or five-inch heel is going to make your legs look hella long, but that doesn’t really matter if you can’t make it ten minutes without needing a Band-Aid—or a foot replacement. Find a lowish or block-heel pair that matches grace and sophistication with utility and comfort.

Ahhh...much better. 

Get the look: Botkier ($77); Sam Edelman ($120); Salvatore Ferragamo ($495)
