Cute But Comfortable Heels For The Office + What To Wear With Scrubs

| 2 comments
Q. I am a confessed shoe-addict who adores heels (especially because they elevate my 5'5" frame) and can't pass up a pair of stilleto pumps. Unfortunately, I will soon be starting a job where I will be doing a LOT of walking, and also spend a good deal of time in scrubs. Do you have any suggestions for cute but comfortable heels for the office (not too high) as well as shoes to wear with scrubs that AREN'T Crocs?

A. Congrats on the new job! We're always in search of cute but comfortable heels for the office. Generally, a round toe and a stacked 2 or 2 1/2 inch heel will be your most comfortable. Also, look for shoes that have added cushioning, like our favorite Cole Haans with Nike Air technology. Here are some stylish, comfortable, cushioned office picks:

2. Taryn by Taryn Rose Devour, $225 at piperlime.com
3. Gentle Souls Instant Hit, $265 at piperlime.com
4. Aerosoles Role Play, $89 at piperlime.com

As for what to wear with scrubs, I'm not really sure what the rules are here, but I assume you can't wear sneakers. Though not the best looking, I've seen many medical staffers wearing Merrells. Here are a few comfortable options that may work for you, depending on the dress code at your workplace:

the Most comfy shoes in the world by far are clogs by Dansko!!! more comfortable than tennis shoes or any others I've ever tried... not dressy of course, but awesome!
