Tired Of Your Hurting Feet Because Of Heels? Here’s Some Alternative Footwears To Pair With Your Dresses

You don’t always have to sacrifice comfort for style when it comes to wearing dresses. Whether you’re a fan of sandals, sneakers, or boots, there are plenty of footwears to pair with your dresses to keep you looking trendy and feeling fabulous all day long.

Most women have a love-hate relationship with heels. They’re gorgeous on the outside, but oh my! With that in mind, it’s a good idea to experiment with different ways to wear a dress and see what works best for you, rather than relying solely on heels to alleviate discomfort. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite ways to wear a dress without heels.

BEIGE BOOTS

Beige Fashion Casual Split Joint Strap Design Keep Warm Boots 

Reasons to recommend:

If you want to create a sophisticated line of the leg, a pair of brown leather boots with black tights is a terrific way to let your boots take center stage and truly accentuate the ensemble. They give off a completely different impression! Wear them with a long, flowing dress for a vintage look.

SNEAKERS

Lace-up Breathable Casual Muffin Sneaker 

Reasons to recommend:

You’ve got it straight. Wearing a dress with sneakers is acceptable when styled correctly. Even a pair of running shoes will do! It’s all about knowing how to put together outfits that are both formal and more informal. Some of your more casual dresses can be toned down for a picnic in the park and games by adding a running shoe to your appearance. With the right styling, a dress is appropriate for just about any occasion Stop making excuses!

SIMPLE FLATS

Colorblock Pointed Toe Velvet Slip On Flat Shoes 

Reasons to recommend:

Without mentioning the basic flat, I’d be remiss if I came to a conclusion to this piece. I believe that in today’s trend-driven environment, we tend to overlook the benefits of flats. The French approach is to wear flats with everything—even that dress you’ve been longing to wear but haven’t had a good reason to wear heels with.

LOAFERS

Solid Round Toe Leather Flat Loafer

Reasons to recommend:

It only takes a dress and a pair of loafers to dispel the misconception that dresses are inherently uncomfy. Your self-esteem will soar and your comfort level will likely be on par with that of a pair of sweatpants. While it may be tempting to wear leggings and sneakers while you’re just out walking the dog, it’s better to dress up for the occasion. You won’t be sorry you did!

MARY JANE

Square Toe Colorblock Chunky Mary Jane Shoes

Reasons to recommend:

You can never go wrong with a decent pair of Mary Janes! Something about them screams “classic.” Some of their most famous wearers include royalty like the Queen of England as a kid and models such as Cher Horowitz from Clueless and Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl. So if you assumed they were only for schoolgirls, you’d be wrong. A dress and black tights are all you need to complete the appearance.

If you’re a fan of dresses and heels, don’t be afraid to break out of your comfort zone and try something new. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a fan of boots or Mary Janes or flats, loafers or sneakers, I hope this gives you the inspiration you need to wear dresses on a daily basis and adapt them to every situation. And a toast to the end of aching feet!

I love fashion. But I'm tired of walking store to store hunting for my next favorite outfit, having to turn down the lovely lady once again (in the face), all the while, I'm frequently changing style, swiping out of the wardrobe with all new clothes. That means I don't believe fashion has to cost an arm and leg. There are a few online boutiques that I shop at that I think anyone should keep in their bookmarks. They are my favorite, and I hope they will be yours too.
