Let’s be honest. We all love the idea of a high-heeled pump.

Sadly though, our reality is so often, well… more sensible (sigh).

I’ve crunched the numbers* and worked out that I’m precisely 84% more productive when I’m not wearing high heels.

Life is short. This drop in productivity just doesn’t make sense… but sensible shoes can’t be the answer. Our short life shouldn’t be marred by sensible shoe, right??

Which leads me to what I call ‘The High Heel Quandary’.

In an effort to resolve this aforementioned quandary, I’m always on the lookout for that perfect combination of good looks and height – one that can hold its own in the style-stakes, whilst not eliciting incredulous looks from my chiropractor.

So I was a little excited when I came across these mid-height heels from Valentino (kind of like a prettier, more refined version of the classic dance shoe) that gives you that flattering, leg-lengthening boost whilst looking super-cute with pretty much everything (tailored pants, boyfriend jeans, a little black shift dress or even a matching-print pant suit…)

Think you need a pair of these in your life too?
