I stood through the whole ceremony and walked back to the car in them.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomewhere along the way a heel stopped being worth it. Not because you cannot wear one, but because the arithmetic changed: the lift is nice for the photographs and awful for everything either side of them, and there is always a moment on grass or gravel where you are watching your feet instead of the people you came to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heel here is low and blocked, which is a different proposition entirely. Your foot stays close to level, the base is wide enough to stand on, and the ankle strap adjusts so nothing shifts as you walk. The toe is open, which keeps them cool on a hot day, and the sole is cushioned underneath. In brown, black or white, they work for a summer wedding as easily as for a long lunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color:#5A2333;\"\u003eWhy women our age keep coming back to them\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight you do not have to negotiate.\u003c\/strong\u003e A low block heel lifts you without tipping your weight forward onto the ball of your foot, which is what makes a taller heel unbearable after an hour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe ankle strap keeps the foot in place.\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjustable, so the sandal moves with you rather than sliding under you on a smooth floor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpen at the toe.\u003c\/strong\u003e Worth more than it sounds in July, when a closed shoe is the reason you go home early.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCushioned sole.\u003c\/strong\u003e The padding underneath is what lets you stand in them, not just walk to the table and sit down.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color:#5A2333;\"\u003eBuy more, save more\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy 2, save 10%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy 3, save 15%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy 4, save 20%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe discount is applied automatically at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color:#5A2333;\"\u003eHow they fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrue to size, in US 5 through 10.
