Comfortable Women Shoes- From Flats to Mules

Comfort, ease and self-care are the new fashion trends, gone are the days when women had to wear those stilettos and uncomfortable pointed pumps to look empowered, confident and hot. The year 2020 has changed the world upside down and so does the priorities and general perception of things. Women’s shoes choices have also started to reflect what they actually want rather than what is expected of them by the patriarchal system. This can be seen through the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Meghan Markel and other celebrities.

For almost two years of lockdowns, hybrid and virtual living we’re finally ready to live life on our own terms, right girls? Now that the world is finally starting to get back to normal life, we women are not really ready to hop on to those old dress codes. Changing the norms and throwing the expectations from us out of the window, we want to wear shoes that are comfortable in standing, walking, running errands and even partying. There is a huge range of comfortable shoes from sliders to sandals, from mules to kitten heels, from sneakers to chunky boots and from sling backs to flat ballerina pumps.

In this article, I will tell you the comfortable shoes for women that are in vogue. Wearing them will not make you feel any less fashionable but a lot more comfortable, relaxed and at ease. So let’s get to the list.

Comfortable Women Shoes

1.           Flat shoes

Just as the name suggests, these shoes are the epitome of comfort and ease. There are a number of women’s shoes that fit into this category. You can wear flat shoes with any outfit of your choice and dress up or down for any occasion. Flats can be as simple and easy going as sliders which are perfect to wear on a daily basis, do chores around the house and for a quick round at the grocery store. On the other hand your flats can be a lot fancier, embellished and high end which can be worn on date nights, high profile meetings and weddings as well. Slip-on flats, fit flops, pumps, trainers and all the shoes that don't provide any extra inches to your height can be extremely liberating for all the women out there.

2.           Espadrilles

Talking about flats and not mentioning espadrilles is a crime. Espadrilles are those women’s shoes that are perfect for spring, summer and autumn. These shoes are just like wearing a breeze on your feet as they are light in weight but heavy in style. The material of the upper part of the espadrilles can be canvas, suede, leather or even embroidered and embellished but the sole of these shoes is always of jute which makes it sustainable as well as very light weight. Espadrilles are super comfy shoes with no chance of having any blisters or burns if bought in the right size of course. You can pair these shoes under casual jeans or shorts or can dress up in them by wearing a midi dress.

3.           Mules

Mules have gained immense love and popularity around the globe in a very short time frame as they are the perfect crossover between comfort and style. With high street brands like Gucci and LV churning out new styles in mules every year, the love and demand is just getting bigger. For those who are confused about what exactly mules are let me explain a little- the mules are shoes that are kind of a slip-on sandals cum loafers cum slides but the big difference is that they are closed from the front and opened from the back. This style makes them perfect for spring and autumn seasons. Mules can be worn at shopping, running errands, parties, meetings, lunches, brunches and many other occasions.

4.           Boots

One style of shoes that needs to be introduced are boots. Men and women have been wearing this style of shoe for years without fail. Boots are found in many varieties from ankle to chunky boots to calf length to knee length to all the way up till thighs. No matter which length you opt for, you’re bound to make an impactful statement with them for sure. Boots are not only stylish but they’re also very comfortable to wear. You can wear them in any season and pair them up with any outfit to give a very chic and cool look. My personal favorites are the chunky boots that look as good with jeans as with skirts or dresses.

5.           Sneakers

Sneakers are the new sliders for Gen z and millennials. These super comfy yet super cool pairs of shoes have been loved and adored by millions of people in about every corner of the world. Women are pairing them with ethnic wear as well as with daily wear.

Takeaway

Wearing comfortable shoes can make or break your entire day’s mood and work speed. If you want to proactively work and make the most of your day, flats are available in a wide range of styles to choose from.
