Comfy high heeled shoes- do they exist? I sound like my mum

[FlamingGallah]

To go with a little black dress for a posh do. I am stumpy of stature and usually wear flat boots or pumps! Could anyone point me in the direction of shoes in which I could walk, dance even, and not end up hobbling in agony by the end of the night?

I defy anyone to find some, I'm sure they are mythical beings, like the tears of a unicorn or something

I find irregular choice heels very comfy, but they're quite expensive.
I've never worn stilettos or very high heels, but these are comfy and fab to look at.
I would also recommend using party feet in conjunction :)
Hth

I have these ... They are fab

Although they are for a wider fit

I have very bony feet so struggle with heels as I end up scrunching my toes to make them stay on. I find they are way more comfortable if held on somehow, so either shoes with straps or a nice shoe boot - in fact, my black suede shoe boots are my dressed-up go-to in the winter with a nice dress and some black tights as you can wear socks inside them :)

Otherwise, I've heard people say you should buy dance shoes, not like ballet shoes obviously but the kind you would wear for ballroom or similar, as they are super comfy but still elegant.

Comfy, lovely shoes

Oh, and in the event that you don't manage to find something ever so comfortable, just make sure you take a bag big enough for a little soft pair of ballet pumps. That way you can change your shoes as soon as everyone's got a couple of drinks inside them and stopped taking photos and your feet will be fine :)

Hotter shoes attract criticism on here, but they are very comfortable, and gave as ejection if evening styles.

I go for chunky jerks rather than stilettos, much easier to move in.

These shoes are very comfortable. They come in a few different colours and are on sale at the moment.

Gabor shoes are usually comfortable if they have anything suitable here

Clarke s, yes really, lovely styles in heels but really comfy.

Watching with interest.

I go salsa jiving and agree the dance shoes are great. Although you can't wear them outdoors.

Have you tried Clarks or Ecco?

M&s £17.50 black patent mid heels are awesome! I'm on my feet most of the day at work and they do the job great. No sore feet and lovely shoes.

I wear these Russell and Bromley heels day in, day out at work. I am not good with heels but can wear these for hours without noticing.

Van Dal (yes really) have dressier evening shoes than Gabor. My preference is Peter Kaiser - probably no higher than 2.5 to 3 inches though but very elegant. Remember you will look better if your feet don't hurt because you will smile and it's better to look small and happy than small in high heels and in pain.

I made some on the Shoes of Prey website and they are really comfortable. I can't usually do heels.

K shoes. They are the comfier end of Clarks as they're made on a slightly wider last.
Any of these do?

Clarks kendra

Nice.

The Gabor Fern look lovely

Not sure they will be the style you are after as they are mostly chunky block heels rather then stiletto party heels but the dr marten diva range are very comfortable. Literally Walking on air!

Seems unbelievable but Kurt Geiger stiletto peep toes are really comfy. Wore them all day and night at a wedding and could still walk after.

Wow thank you all so much for those suggestions! Am going to brave the shops today and try M&S (who'd have thought?), Debenhams and Clarks as they're more the price range I wanted for shoes I'll hardly ever wear!

cerealmom those shoes were absolutely, 100% perfect until I saw the price

I shall report back! Let Project "Look Like A Lady For One Evening Only" commence...

And the winner is Marks! £17 for a pair of comfy shiny black shoes. I did ruin the bargainaciousness by buying them in nude too

too late, I was going to suggest these, as they have the bar they keep your foot in place and no slipping, I wear them a few times week for work and they are really comfortable.
