Fashion Vs. Function: The Best Comfy Chic Shoes for Running Errands

If you’ve ever tried tackling your entire day’s to-do list – you know, grocery shopping, picking up that embarrassing amount of dry cleaning you just dropped off down the street uh, two weeks ago, and so forth – in a pair of high heeled stilettos, you’re aware that well, it kind of sucks. Don’t you think?

Despite how easy a little fashionista like Suri Cruise can make it look, sporting a pair of pumps when you’re in a rush at Bed Bath & Beyond (or anywhere for that matter) is not only impractical, but it’s also painful, blister-inducing and less than fun. Plus, how the heck are you supposed to beat that really athletic looking sneaker-clad chick to the clearance section AND snag the only remaining duvet cover when you can barely walk without wincing? Hmm, you probably don’t stand a chance…let’s be honest.

So next time you’re thinking of heading out and about to run a few errands and you want to look fab, trade in your high maintenance heels for comfy chic shoes and see if your feet don’t thank you later! Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Cute Slip-ons: The Row’s Alexandria Classics

A luxurious blend of Italian wool and cashmere, these stylish slip-ons from Toms and The Row will keep your feet feeling cozy (and looking haute) throughout even the most taxing of errands. Other features include a latex arch insert for added support, a cushioned black suede insole and 100% lamb leather lining for supreme, breathable comfort. And, at only $140.00 a pair, for every purchase you make Toms will donate shoes to a child in need.

Lightweight Boots: Palladium Baggy LITE

For the more rugged chick with a sense of adventure, try these chic super LITE boots for all your heavy-duty errands. Equipped with a molded rubber midsole and injection EVA outsole, the Palladium Baggy LITE is trendy, lightweight and comfortable all at the same time. At $75.00, these boots are quite the steal.
