Is it even possible?

LADIES OF MY FLIST:
Is there such a thing as a SEXY and COMFORTABLE shoe?And if so, where can I find one?

I mean something you could go clubbing in and not have blisters on your feet afterwards. I mean something you could dance and do a moderate amount of walking in. I mean something that isn't butt-ugly that'll hide in the back of your closet after one use.

seeshellirun, I regard you as a maven in this field; any advice? Favorite brands, favorite stores, horror stories?

Surprisingly there are, but I've found that they are pretty dang expensive. I'd estimate you'd generally have to spend safely over $20 for a decent pair. But I think the most important factor is breaking them in. If you're planning on wearing them dancing/clubbing, then I'd recommend wearing them a few times prior. It could just be that your feet are more sensitive. I'm not really sure what to recommend for that though, possibly some good foot cream and massaging your feet? Yeah, just fishing here. lol If you do that, and plan on wearing them only for a few hours, you needn't worry too much. If your doing a boot, maybe consider wearing those thin liner/sock thingies (I can't remember what they're called).

Personally, I'm pretty tolerant after the first couple of wears so I don't generally have this issue after that. Stores I like to shop for shoes at are JCPenney, Shiekh Shoes, Guess and on ocassion, Payless. But the majority of the heels I wear are from India and they are notorious for uncomfortable shoes (well in my books anyway), I just end up not having to wear them for long periods of time.

Btw, the mother of sexy comfort:

Way out of my price range atm though.
