This entire article is actually inspired by a single tweet that’s been stuck in our heads for more than a year. Here it is:
Having felt very seen/ inspired by this tweet ourselves, we shared it on our Insta account, and turns out, many of you feel the same.
And so, we decided to do the world a favor and bring the pursuit of finding an “orthopedic but slutty” shoe to fruition. Turns out, we found nine.
That’s right, nine sexy, gorgeous shoes that offer a medical level of comfort on our tired, achy feet.
And here they are.
1. Naturalizer 27 Edit Elaine Slingback Dress Shoe
Listen to us very carefully. Naturalizer makes sexy shoes. Yes, they’re made with things like “REZORB™ responsive cushioning for shock absorption and impact protection” so your feel enshrined in clouds, but they look like sleekest, beautiful heels. They might be the only brand that lives up to the promise of a “sneaker-level comfort in heels.” The leopard on this slingback has a chokehold on our 1989 souls, but it comes in many colors we’ve added to cart, including black*.
* Gifted
Price: $170
2. Naturalizer Jordis Dress Sandal
We’re not overstating when we say this is the single most comfortable heel we’ve tried on in the past decade. A block heel is the biggest hack for being able to withstand long hours in high shoes without internally screaming “mercy” and running home to our slippers. Other than that, it’s just about the jaw-dropping beauty.
* Gifted
Price: $78.50
3. Naturalizer 27 Edit Alexa Dress Sandal
A luxe and timeless stiletto that doesn’t kill our precious feet. The brand calls it “Contour + Comfort technology.” We call it the ability to stand, step, and schmooze all night without an ounce of foot pain.
Price: $148
4. Naturalizer 27 Vera Dress Sandal
We all need an extremely reliable nude, minimalist heel to match everything in our closet. This one is, again, bliss to the foot.
Price: $135
5. Quince Italian Leather Slingback 75mm Heel
We didn’t realize how much we needed a pointed pump in a dazzling silver, but we did. And the price is equally dazzling.
Price: $82
6. Dolce Vita Rexa Mesh Heels
In the same way that your comfiest wireless bra becomes sexy the minute you buy it in mesh, these open-toe, kitten heels up-level their oomph by 87 degrees with their sheerness. The black is very chic but there are 3 nude(ish) colors that we’re equally obsessed with.
Price: $69
7. Inez Mia
Inez was literally born out of the idea that comfortable, wearable shoes should still be stunning. Looks-wise, this slingback falls somewhere between Jessica Rabbit and Grace Kelly. Which is exactly where we want to exist at all times.

Price: $315
8. Steve Madden Larina Tan Satin
Like a graceful ballet slipper. And yet, it makes everything from our jeans and tees to our loose, mumu dresses look wildly elevated and “styled.”
Price: $120
9. Vivaia Rumi Boots
Nothing like a comfy, block-heeled, tall boot that makes your legs look 8 miles long while actually fitting over your calf. This pair has a stretch and breathability that is unlike any other boot on this planet. Our feet never feel fatigued in them.
Price: $199
