Nothing beats our sneakers when it comes to comfort. But if it’s elevated style you’re after, sculptural heel shoes are the only way to go. There’s just one problem. Those architectural heels are tricky to walk in.
From stilettos in the shape of the classic Yves Saint Laurent logo to balls where heels should be, we’re left scratching our heads wondering how we can possibly survive wearing them. Or is injury just a side effect of looking cool? But you don’t have to worry about spraining your ankle with the sculptural heel shoes we’ve selected.
Here is some killer footwear that won’t kill your feet (or ankles, or hamstrings, or quads).
