There are so many pairs of ‘dinner shoes’ in my closet.  You know the ones.  Those super high heels that you can literally only walk in for 15 minutes, so you only wear them to a restaurant where you sit for most of the evening and curse if anyone suggests continuing on to another location afterward.  No one should have to Cinderella at midnight just because your feet hurt.  It’s 2015!  So yeah, I’m always searching for a shoe with height to it that I can actually wear and move in without looking like a dog walking on ice.  I decided to try a (new to me) store called Ella Shoes on Granville Street while shopping downtown and can already tell that it’s our hidden shoe shopping treasure!  Their selection is really varied in many ways, as it has shoes for a wide range of personal styles, comfort levels, as well as age range. After trying on half the store (they have a very helpful and patient staff), I settled on these Bruna Boots.  An astonishing 4 inches high, but more comfortable than my .5 inch kitten heels.  Height means nothing, it’s all about the comfort when it comes to staying in the same footwear for a full workday!  I’ve already chasséd around the city in these beauties and though I haven’t completed my high heel training to make it to 8+ hours in them, I’m well on my way!

Hope you’re all having an amazing week! xo
