Having a childhood best friend is something special; you’ve gone from singing Hannah Montana to drinking a pitcher of margs together (I’m looking at you, Gill!). And, if you’re lucky enough, you’ll even get to be the maid of honor on their special day.
Being my bestie's maid of honor comes with a lot of responsibility, like holding her white gown when she uses the bathroom and escorting away any unexpected guests. Therefore, it’s essential I wear a pair of heels that look chic, let me run from point A to point B, don’t impede on my dancing, and never give me blisters. I took the research seriously and found nine comfortable options perfect for wedding season, starting at $16. So, whether you’re in a similar situation, are a wedding guest, or only here for some top-notch shoe recs, I’ve got you covered.

Billini Santiago Clear Sandal
Nordstrom
It doesn’t get better than the Billini clear sandal, which pays homage to the “naked” shoe trend everyone from Amal Clooney to Jennifer Lopez wears. The barely there design boasts a gold-toned buckle, ankle strap, and 3-inch rectangular heel that prevents you from sinking into grass and sand. I own a similar pair and wear them on repeat, styling the shoes with maxi dresses, jeans, and even shorts. Better yet, the transparent style lets you wear the $65 sandal with any colored ensemble, taking the guesswork out of any fashion situation.
Vivaia Pointed-Toe Block Heel
Vivaia
I’ve secured a variety of Vivaia shoes, which are worn by the likes of Katie Holmes, Selena Gomez, Scarlett Johansson, and Julia Roberts. Therefore, I have zero hesitations when it comes to the Aria pump, which is available in black, beige, navy, and maroon. The footwear includes a pointed toe, block heel, padded insole, sturdy rubber outsole, and breathable upper, which prevents sweaty, hot feet. I walked over 12 hours in my last pair of Vivaia heels without aches or pains, and I have a feeling this style will follow suit.
Dolce Vita Paily Heeled Sandal
Amazon
The Dolce Vita Paily Sandal is a classic for a reason. Available in 45 colors — yes, you read that right — it includes a chunky croc-embossed heel, square toe, and two braided straps. The unfussy silhouette makes this bad boy easy to slip on and off, while knitted, leather, and raffia materials elevate your overall look. I literally said, “Woah!” the first time I tried this style on because it felt like a bed for my feet, and if that’s not telling, I don’t know what is.
There are way more comfortable heel styles to choose from, including brands like Vince Camuto, Marc Fisher LTD, and 27 Edit Naturalizer. Pro tip: If you’re shopping for wedding shoes, make sure to choose a style that naturally fits into your everyday wardrobe. This way, you can wear it well after the celebration.
