Your go-to pair of shoes needs to be extremely comfortable if it is going to last the 9-5 as well as hours of drinks and dancing afterward, but flats won’t cut it. Flats can pass in some offices, but at night you’ll be the shortest in the group by six inches. That being said, we’ve all experienced the pain of a pair of stilettos that pinches and rubs, leaving sore feet that are no good for dancing. So what is the solution? It’s the perfect middle ground pair of wedges.

This style provides plenty of added support and cushioning for your heel, and often includes a chunky ankle buckle that holds the foot in place. This means that you can often get away with a shoe that is not exactly the right size, as the foot can’t slip out. The larger sole area of the wedge means that cracks in the pavement, uneven surfaces and even grates or drains are no obstacle. From the carpet in the office to stepping onto the footpath at five o’clock, your feet will be fully supported. Better yet, opt for wedges that offer a significant platform under the ball of the foot. This acts as a cushioning, as well as a height boost. The slope of the heel can be shallower with this platform while still giving the same effect. An open toe gives the foot to move and adjust over time. However, a closed toe pump could be used to conceal some sockettes that can offer some additional comfort, so either can be advantageous.

Avoid a peep toe style or Mary Jane strap if you plan to wear these shoes for ten hours or longer on end. The incline of the heel can force your toes to push against the end of the shoe, and a peep toe at the end will make your feet incredibly uncomfortable by the end of the night. The Mary Jane strap adds come level of comfort, but is inadvisable for extended periods of time. It is standard for feet to swell slightly when they are in heels all day. It isn’t anything to worry about; however a strap could really dig into the skin as it expands. Unless you remember to loosen the strap a notch or two several times over the course of the day and night, you risk cutting off your circulation. 

In terms of material, avoid suede at all costs for a show that is going to survive the night and still look good the next day. Even with waterproofing, suede can be ruined with a spilled drink or a sudden shower in an instant. Suede looks better in the office, but keep a pair of these shoes only for corporate wear and nothing else. For your any situation show, choose matte leather. It is easy to clean, incredibly durable, and not as flashy as the night time only patent variety.
