I No Longer Wear High Heels—Here Are the Shoes I Choose Instead, Available on Sale at Nordstrom.

I No Longer Wear High Heels—Here Are the Shoes I Choose Instead, Available on Sale at Nordstrom.

      My fashion-editor misstep is that I don't possess any high heels. Living in New York, where walking is a part of daily life, I prefer not to choose discomfort for my feet. Even for weddings or more formal occasions, I favor kitten heels. My shoe shopping rule involves looking for options with a heel height of two inches or less. Since I'm not particularly drawn to sneakers, I lean towards comfortable yet stylish choices like ballet flats, knee-high boots, loafers, and Mary Janes. Kitten-heel sandals are essential for spring and summer, while low-heel pumps become my staple for fall as the weather cools down (and I wear them as long into winter as practicality allows). With the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ending soon on August 9, I decided to explore the selection for shoes two inches and under. Below, you'll find some discounted pairs that caught my eye, including Vagabond Mary Janes, Margaux knee-high boots, Tory Burch loafers, and others.
