It’s not like you haven’t tried to love high heels.

You’ve bravely hobbled down grocery store aisles and around parking lots with a patient smile on your face, knowing full well that you look more like a giant newborn on steroids than a sophisticated lady.

So ditch the fancy kicks and slip into something fashionably flat — like BC Footwear’s Casablanca crochet slides. Made with a macramé-like fabric (in cream and purple) with a nod to vintage styles, they’ve got a simple lace flower on each rounded toe. Add the super-soft floral lining and almost nonexistent heel, and you’ll soon discover what a truly healthy footwear relationship feels like.

Because love means never having to say “Does anybody here have an ankle brace?”
