They give me that Carrie Bradshaw ‘I can run in my heels’ feeling.

These heels are available in two colors and I own the light blue shade. I find that it pairs well with denim jeans, mini dresses, and even long skirts come summer.

They have an open toe design — so you can show off that fresh pedicure — and an adjustable ankle buckle to keep your foot stable all day long. The insole itself is soft and cushioned, and the outer sole features added traction for when you’re on the go.

As for heel height, these comfy platforms come with a 3.5-inch heel, which will even appeal to those who prefer footwear that’s closer to the ground. That said, they still gave me an elevated look, and due to their comfort levels, I found myself choosing them over my stilettos every single time.

Of course, because they’re open-toe, many of you might not want to wear them when fall comes around again. I suggest pairing them with your favorite pair of stockings and rocking them anyway. (I’ve never received so many compliments on a fit as when donning my Sheertex tights with my LifeStride August sandals.)

LifeStride even offers this same shoe with a wide fit if you need a larger sole. My mom, for example, always buys wider shoes as she suffers from plantar fasciitis and foot pain. I bought the medium size fit for this pair, but appreciate the fact that LifeStride makes an option for every kind of foot.
