I'm happy to say that the menswear-chic heeled oxford look can work for us more practical fashionistas that need a lower-heel. Here are my picks for fall from six brands that have figured out how to blend comfort with style.
1. Clark's Zany: With an upper of black patent and leather and a shock-absorbing OrthoLite® footbed, the Zany has a manageable 2 1/2" heel. $84 at Zappos, free shipping and returns.
2. Indigo (by Clark's) Paddington: OrthoLite® footbed with brogue stitch detail and feminine ribbon laces. Available in sizes 5-12. $104 at Zappos, $99 at PlanetShoes.com, free shipping and returns.
3. Bass Atwood: Casual 3" wedge with padded footbed. $83 at Zappos, $79.95 at OnlineShoes.com, free shipping and exchanges.
4. Naturalizer Kister: I love this shoe and was hoping Shoebuy would carry it in narrow and wide widths also. Will let you know if and when-- $74.95, free shipping and returns.
5. Born Pace: Watch a short video of leggy lady sporting the Born Pace at Shoeline.com. Hint: cuts leg off at ankle, so best worn with trousers. We'll talk about this in a sec. $107 at Shoeline, free shipping. $114 at Zappos, free shipping and returns.
6. Me Too Frost: Wing tip detailing with stylish sculpted heel, the Me Too Frost has a padded footbed and flexible sole. $100 at Zappos, free shipping and returns.
Wondering what to wear with this style? A wide-leg pant such as Gap's classic Perfect Trouser will give you a classic, polished look.
