LISA RED

The way the pearls catch the light when I walk makes these feel much more expensive than they were. The T-straps are also surprisingly comfortable for a heel, even after a few hours of dancing.

The 2.5-inch heel is the sweet spot — enough lift to feel dressed up but I could stand at the reception all night without my feet screaming. The hand-strung pearls catch the light beautifully, though I did have to size up half a size.

Wore these to a wedding and danced for three hours without my feet screaming, which never happens in heels. The 2.5-inch height is exactly right, low enough to walk in but still dressy. The T-strap kept everything secure too.
