Recently, I purchased these Söfft sandals. These shoes combine soft suede and shiny patent leather for a nice combination of textures. The simple silhouette is conservative enough for work, but special enough for going out.

These sandals feature an open toe, adjustable ankle strap and 3-inch heel. They are ultra comfortable (as are all the shoes from Söfft).

I bought them in caramel (pictured above) but they also come in black and pewter. The caramel brown is better suited for fall. So if you are looking for something you can wear year-round, I’d pick up the black version.

The Söfft Grazia Sandal is priced at just $99.95 at Nordstom.

If you most wear high heels every single day to work, it’s much more important for you to find shoes that are not only chic by comfy too. That’s where brands like Cole Haan, Taryn Rose and Naturalizer come in.

These Naturalizer sandals are a fabulous choice for summertime. If you can wear sandals to the office, these are a nice option. They have a closed back and T-strap. With two tonal shades of metallic leather, these sandals can go from the boardroom to Happy Hour without missing a step.

One of the best things about Naturalizer shoes (other than the comfort) is they are very affordable. These “Princeton” sandals are priced at just $64.95 at Nordstrom and come in narrow, medium and wide widths.

The Low Maintenance Lady
Low maintenance women wear comfortable shoes. By comfortable shoes, I don’t mean sneakers and flats. However, they are more apt to wear wedge heels than stilettos, and rounded toes rather than pointy. On the flip side, high maintenance women wear shoes that can be easily scuffed or those with delicate embellishments. In other words, their shoes are as high maintenance as they are.

The Bad Girl in Bed
Everyone knows what hooker shoes look like–platform sandals, clear heels and thigh-high boots. But those aren’t the only signs that you may be a naughty girl in bed. Shoes that are preppy–Mary Janes, plaid flats–can be a sign that a woman is a “bad” school girl that might enjoy a spanking every now and again.

The Gold Digger
Women’s shoes in exotic skins are a hot choice this season, but they may also be giving off the signal of a gold digger. Skinny heels, exotic skins, high gloss patent leather all may be indicators that a woman is all about appearances and cash.

The Independent Woman
Independent women have a varied collection of shoes. If you watch the feet of the women in your office for a week, you should be able to tell which ones are the most confident and independent. These women don’t wear classic black pumps to work. They experiment with color and style, from kitten heel slingbacks to red peep toe pumps and hippie-chic espadrilles to luxurious leather booties.

Of course, these are sweeping generalizations. Women’s clothes and their choices in shoes depend on an array of factors–namely budget!

Company Background

Anyi Lu: I started my company about 5 years ago, and stemmed from the idea of fit and style. I have spent many years studying fashion, and tailoring my brand to be on trend but never too trendy that the shoe will go out of style.

What inspires your designs?

Anyi Lu: I am inspired by the everyday working woman who desires a shoe that looks good and feels great. My shoes are designed for looking and doing, because style should not have to be sacrificed.

What accessory trends do you see being popular for the summer?

Anyi Lu: I see lots of bright colors making big impacts, highlighted by subtle neutrals. Mixing and matching this season is very popular, but you don’t want to take it too overboard!

Any tips on saving money on your wardrobe?

Anyi Lu: Invest in pieces that are made well that will last. Pieces like this may seem expensive, but you will get more wear out of them, and will not have to replace them like a bargain brand.

These will work with any fashionable occasion. The leather is light and dye-free, allowing your feet to breathe. ThefFull-grain leather does not require any break-in time because of the leather lining inside the shoe. The foot bed is made by OrthoLite. It is a polyurethane cushion, which will last for many years.

The outsole and the heel are made from top quality materials; to increase the life of the Demures and to give you added comfort. These comfortable shoes come in black leather or three colors of patent leather – black, brown and red (pictured). They are priced at $84.00 a pair and can be ordered online at Clarks.

Though these shoes were built for comfort, they are fashionable too. Animal prints will continue to be popular next season. Therefore, the Munro Pisa is a good choice.

Priced a $159.95 at Nordstrom, you can find these shoes in several solid colors as well.
