Forget diamonds: shoes are a girl's best friend. There are endless styles to choose from, and often, a good pair of shoes is the pièce de résistance of any good outfit. While we love the and , one piece of footwear will forever have our hearts (and pockets): heels.

Just as versatile as any shoe, a pair of heels offers a certain level of confidence to the wearer while elevating one's look no matter the occasion, from a casual brunch date to a fancy soirée. But there's a new category of shoes we're most happy to see on our radar, and that's the most comfortable heels you can imagine. We're talking all your favorite styles — stilettos, wedges, mules — but tailor made to provide comfort instead of pain.



Right now, a certain style of shoe is trending — — for being gorgeous and famously uncomfortable (so much so that people question ). But you can get Zendaya's classic-pump look in a way that protects your feet from pain. Try Cole Haan's Grand Ambition pumps that come with a supportive, anatomically-contoured footbed to pad each step.

Sarah Flint offers a stylish pair of pumps featuring arch support and extra footbed padding. And finally, Tamara Mellon's Pillow Top ankle-strap pumps boast an insole with 8mm of high-density foam. Clearly, more brands are defying the "fashion is pain" stereotype, creating comfortable yet stylish heels like never before.

And these comfortable heels aren't just regulated to the variety. The most comfortable designer heels are having a mom.
