By ESSENCE Fashion Editors · Updated July 20, 2023

Finding the perfect pair of comfortable heels for the summer might seem difficult initially, but with a few essential tips, you can ensure both style and comfort. Number one, always prioritize comfort. Look for heels with cushioned insoles or padding to provide extra support and reduce pressure on your feet. Number two, consider the heel height. Opt for lower or mid-height heels to minimize strain on your feet and calves. Chunky heels or wedges are a godsend for a long night or even for all-day wear. Platform heels can provide some extra stability for those like me who never learned how to walk in heels properly. Number three, choose breathable materials. Summer heat can cause your feet to sweat, which can cause blisters. Look for natural leather or suede heels, as they allow your feet to breathe. Try to avoid synthetic materials that may trap moisture.

You can really make the most simple of outfits turn into the chicest if you just add a summer heel to it. If you’re going to brunch or even a block party, going in style just in case you run into your summer crush is crucial. You’ll want a comfy heel to make sure you can join along for the tradition of doing the Electric Slide and maybe even a slow dance at a beach party. Either way, we have you covered on where you can get the most stand-out comfy heels for the summer.

Take a look below at the best heels to snag for your hot girl summer antics.
