Because NYC requires so much walking, most people's everyday uniform includes some sort of sneaker. But not me. Not only am I always trying to add a little bit of height, I'm also always walking around in dresses during the summer.



And no matter how trendy the dress and sneakers look is, I would much prefer to wear heels. So I embarked upon the ultimate test: the quest to find the most comfortable heels in every category.

As a style editor, believe me when I tell you that Inez is one of my absolute favorite brands for shoes that are miraculously comfortable and completely stunning.

These Dream Paris sandals have a whopping 24K reviews and four stars on Amazon. We put them to the test.
