It doesn’t matter how much we adore our heels — after wearing them for hours on end, our feet can hurt so much, we’re ready to dump them in the trash! This happens mostly when we’re heading to a major event — think a wedding or other formal situation. But instead of resenting our beloved stilettos, why not do damage control ahead of time and pack up some comfy shoes to change into instead?
The key with picking out a shoe that’s easy to throw into your purse is making sure they’re lightweight and don’t take up too much space. Slip-on styles are definitely preferred — especially if you don’t need to pack a pair of socks to wear with them. You can opt for a fashionable pair of comfy shoes or stick to the basics. Whatever your vibe may be, we’ve found a pair of shoes that can come to your rescue when you need them most. Shop our picks below!
Circus NY Omina Flats
These are the ideal flats you can slide into your bag and change into without making it obvious. They’re super chic and, most importantly, versatile! We can’t think of a single ensemble these shoes won’t look fabulous with.
Frye Melanie Slip On
Shoppers say these shoes are comfortable right out of the box, and the fact that they’re made from leather gives them an elevated edge.
Rivieras Classic Canvas & Mesh Slip-On
The mesh panel on the front of these slip-ons makes them extra breathable, which instantly adds to their comfort!
