As someone who would always wear heels to the office (with a pack of Compeed in my bag at the ready), walking with shooting pains in my soles was something I got used to. Thankfully, though, I waved goodbye to those days long ago, and now, I couldn't even contemplate teetering around in the highest of heels—even if they did elevate my outfits (quite literally). With so many of the best (read: comfiest) shoe trends being in the form of Mary Janes, ballet pumps and sandals, there are so many options I now prefer much more than 5 inch-plus heels.
And with a depleted tolerance for uncomfortable shoes, when it comes to heels, I'm turning my attention to low-heel sandals this summer. I'm talking two inches on average.
Be it a block heel or a kitten, mid-heel sandals are an easy way to transform a pair of jeans or complete a wedding guest look without having to worry about your feet hurting throughout the day.
And seeing as I've been on the hunt for the chicest pairs for myself, I thought I'd share my findings with you, too. Keep scrolling to shop the best low-heel sandals this season has to offer.
