Gone are the days of suffering in sky-high heels on the daily. Sure, we’ll visit those for super-special occasions (like the MTV Awards or Met Gala), but we've noticed some fashion girls are done abusing their feet. We want to look great and feel confident but also be comfortable at the same time.
Enter midi heels. They're the number one shoe trend in the game right now. I’m not talking about a chunky block heel but a thinner heel, anywhere from a slim block to a stiletto, slightly higher than a kitten but lower than four inches. It’s not only incredibly chic but also manageable for daily wear. It’s the best of all worlds, and it is becoming increasingly popular. Scroll below for 10 versions of the shoe that every woman needs in her arsenal.
