Lithe, narrow feet are quite attractive if they've got you strolling down the beach in all their bare glory but can really cause problems when it comes to shoe shopping. If a shoe is ridiculously good looking but loose around your feet, it'll be no fun at all to wear. A few fashion stylists give their recommendations for narrow shoes that will give a good grip to your feet and keep you looking snazzy.
Clarks Unstructured Line
The Clarks Unstructured Line has a specially designed Air Circulation System that makes the shoes springy and light on your feet. Not only is this line a comfortable fit on narrow feet, but also it comes in several stylish designs as well. The Un.Wake sandal in Bronze Leather is a snappy shoe for breezy spring weather and the Un.Conditional in Black Suede will make you a stylish winter fashionista. The Un.Conditional Black Suede has an OrthoLite footbed and supportive cushioning at the heel, ensuring that you don't want to throw off your shoes as soon as you enter home. Fashion consultant and boutique owner Joanne Gouaux cites Clark's Unstructured sandals as being lightweight and durable, even though she's "worn them up and down the streets of San Francisco and out and about on hiking trails."
Vince Camuto
If you want a pair of great-looking shoes that won't slip off your narrow feet on the dance floor, check out Vince Camuto's chic line. Recommended by Hollywood fashion stylist Mimi Miller, Vince Camuto's heels are "very high end, seriously sexy and seriously comfortable. People will stare at you in awe." His Jasper Black/Fuscia sandals are to die for, the Simonas Black Wedge Heel with Art Deco detailing will set you apart from the crowd, and the Arthur's Black gladiator style sandal with gold laser-cut metal will make your shoe collection truly enviable. Who says comfortable shoes can't be gasp-inducingly stylish?
Two Lips Shoes
As a fashion stylist in the know, Mimi also recommends Two Lips shoes for comfortable footwear for narrow feet. The Rosie Sandal with rope detail and a bejeweled surface is a pair you can wear for every day use and still look done up. If it's heels you're after, the blazing red Suzie Sandal with silver studded detail, the fuscia Seduct Pump with beaded nude ankle strap and golden Glee Sandal are bold and dramatic choices. "Two Lips are very feminine, and the heels are designed to be very comfortable on your the balls of your feet," says Mimi.
Aquatalia by Marvin K. Women's Wasabi Knee-High Boot
Boots can be quite tricky to find if you've got a narrow sole. Podiatrist and shoe expert Dr. Jenny Sanders has evaluated thousands of shoes from her patients' experience. She recommends Marvin K.'s Wasabi Knee High Boot because it's narrow and shallow, as well. The rubberized sole with shock absorption will make sure the balls of your feet don't start to throb by the end of the day. This Italian boot has a 14-inch side circumference and a side zip. Whether you wear it during the day or at night, you won't fail to look drop-dead stunning.
