It’s no fun wearing the cutest pair of high heels in your closet only to end up with a matching set ofblisterson your feet at the end of the night. Whether you’re wearing heels to the office, to theslew of weddingsyou have coming up or just because you prefer the look over flats, we’ve found the most comfortable heels for every occasion.

What to Look for in Comfortable Heels

When you’re searching for a pair of comfortable heels, it’s best to keep a few things in mind: the style ofshoesyou like, the height of the heel and the construction of the sole. ThisTikTok creatorrecommends opting for a set ofplatform heelsto keep the ball of your foot more in line with your heel. If you don’t love spiked pumps, opt for a block heel instead. If you aren’t looking for a ton of height, a kitten heel will look divine on you. And of course, a sole with lots of padding will keep your arches feeling supported and at ease.

What to Avoid Based on Your Foot Type

If you've got wide feet and are trying to squeeze into a normal-width pointy-toe stiletto, you're going to be aching in pain within the first hour of wear. Shop for brands that make wider toe boxes (likeSarah Flint) or, if you're shopping a department store likeNordstrom, filter your search to be for extended-width pairs only. A similar rule goes for those with painful bunions. Avoid pointy-toe stilettos that create unnecessary pressure and go for a more cushioned, open style.

If you’re thinking that comfortable high heels aren’t cute or stylish, we’re here to change your mind with 22 pairs of chic, comfy heels for wherever you’re headed.
