Dear Shoe Fairy,
Help! I'm going on a series of very important interviews this winter, but I recently herniated two disks in my back, and currently can't walk in heels!
I'm most likely going to be switching off between two suits—a black pantsuit (like this) and a gray pinstripe skirt suit. I'm looking for a pair of flats that will be conservative enough for the most important interview of my life, but will also help me to stand out a bit in a sea of applicants in black suits. Most importantly, they need to be comfortable and supportive enough for me to walk around in all day, even with my bad back! Since I'll be traveling all over the country and can't predict what the weather will bring, it would also be nice if they had a thick-enough sole to navigate a few puddles or light snow.
Ideally, I'd like to spend around $50, but could splurge on something slightly more expensive if necessary! (Also—I'm a size 10!)
Thank you!

Dear Kristin,
Always happy to help a Deputy
Shoe Fairy put her best foot forward for an important interview! Let’s see what I can find for you...
I love pink and gray together...
plus the flower on the toe of the Betsy
by Kelly & Katie is a little unexpected with a suit! There are three tiny rhinestones in the
middle of the flower, too. It marks high
on the comfort scale, also comes in black, and can be found at DSW
for $30.
Croc is a classic work print, but
the blue of the Goal by Sam and Libby
makes this one special! Also available in
black, red, beige, or a very cool metallic yellow and silver combo; your choice
for $30 from 6pm.
The Heaven by SM is a classic round-toe patent leather flat, but it’s
the color that makes it special. Don’t
like the purple? It also comes in a
bunch of other colors too! Find them at 6pm
for $24.
All of these shoes are patent
leather so you won’t have to worry about them getting ruined in the snow; plus
they have free shipping so you can order them and try them on at home to make
sure you can wear them without hurting your back.
Feel better soon, and good luck
with all your interviews!
