I do not (thank god) have an office job, but I like to wear heels and I am brutal on my shoes. I am on a first name basis with my cobbler. I think Frye makes some of the cutest, can-take-a-beating, heels I've ever worn. They are also comfortable(ish) with great arch support. <br /><br />Like <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/83455010/vintage-style-frye-peep-toe-black-heels" rel="nofollow">these</a>. <br /><br />Or...wait...I just checked their website and they seem to have discontinued all of their cute peep-toes and pumps.

You can still wear the heels out occaisionally for meetings, after-work drinks, dates, etc, but they are not bombarded with the daily abuses of commuting (and your feet/knees will thank you). Then just reheel+resole+polish as necessary, and you can easily get multiple seasons out of nice work shoes. And then you'll have more money left over for "fun" shoes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-58112881364138657192012-04-18T09:12:17.406-07:002012-04-18T09:12:17.406-07:00I'm with Lauren on this one.
