We've all been there. You been to one too many holiday parties, and you didn't eat enough while sipping on that super warming hot toddy of yours. Things are getting a bit stumbly, so learning how to walk in heels after too much eggnog is crucial. Shopping these stylish, but sturdy heels will get you down the stairs and to your Uber way better than those four inch stilettos. Plus, let's be honest, you'll probably be far more comfortable throughout the evening.
Thankfully, shoes are always in season, always gorgeous, and always a smart purchase. No matter what your attire for the day or evening is, you've got a plethora of footwear decisions to make, and during the holidays that actually comes in handy. Sure, you can rock those crazy high pumps, but for those parties when you imbibe just a bit more than normal, your ability to walk is going to be called into question, and no one wants to be the person walking on asphalt with your shoes in their hands. Plus, if you're rocking tights, they're sure to get ruined sans shoes.
If you're planning to hit up some holiday parties this year, your footwear will indeed come into play. So, which shoes are going to be the most functional and fashionable?
