Stylish Heels Under $50 That You Can Wear All Day

by Taylor Fuller

I think that one of the greatest accomplishments in terms of fashion is when you find a great pair of heels that you can wear all day long. You know those comfortable heels — you forget you're wearing them, or they feel so great, you don't want to take those heels off. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, you should go out and buy that shoe in every color and style imaginable (and if said-heels are under $50, why wouldn't you?).

Most of the heels in my own closet are all made by the same designer and differ by color and style. It's just too hard to search for a shoe that makes you feel like you're walking on a cloud. The things that I look for when searching for a comfy shoe are heel height, shape, and size. I also see what the inside of the shoe feels like (there is nothing worse than your foot sticking to a shoe or acquiring a blister because of the material on the inside). And then sometimes I will even buy shoes with comfort insoles because those are usually always the most pleasing to my feet.

So, I've rounded up a bunch of great heels under $50 that won't make you want to change into flats at the end of the day.

2-Inch Heels Mean Comfort

10 Crosby Tehama Dress Sandal (size 8.5), $44, Amazon

The best way to make sure your feet stay comfortable? A low heel. This dress sandal's heel height comes in at 2 inches, allowing you to gain a little bit of extra height while giving your feet a break from sky high heels. Plus, it comes in a gorgeous coral snake skin color, giving your outfit the pop of color it needs.

Thick Heeled Lightweight Bootie Gives Support
