I’ll be the first to admit that I sometimes wear shoes that aren’t so comfortable for way too long. Stylish heels sometimes don’t hold up for the whole night like we’d hope. Case and point? New Year’s Eve. I was definitely going to be hurting if I walked to the train in my heels. That’s why comfortable ballet flats were part of my outfit before I even got there. Walking in flats and then changing into heels just before the party was the best thing I could do for my feet.

When choosing comfortable ballet shoes for those moments, you want to make sure they still compliment your outfit in the mean time, especially if you want to change into them for the rest of the night but are still out and about. Black flats are a great option, because they go with most anything. I always have both a pair of black and pair of white flats so that I have something for any color spectrum.

So before you head out in those heels, no matter how cute they are, think about your feet. You don’t want to be limping back home at the end of the night. Ballet flats are easy to hide in that bag and will be your best friend, trust me!
