Shoes for the Summer

When it comes to shoes I almost always prefer flats. Being 5'10" already makes me feel like the Eiffel Tower and heels only compound the problem. More often than not they are so uncomfortable that at the end of the day I sometimes wonder why I even bothered to wear them in the first place. Of course, there are times when the occasion calls for a little lift, but if I had it my way shoe stores would be replete with flats. I don't mind a small kitten heel every now and again but only the most comfortable of heels would ever make me a buyer. Besides at my age I care more about the health of my feet and back than any pair of funky shoes I could ever come across. Although, these shoe selections below clearly illustrate that you don't have to completely sacrifice style for comfort.
