We got an e-mail from reader C, raving about this “Beacon” shoe:
The heel is higher than it looks and oh-so-so-comfortable. I bought these to be able to commute in dress pants and heels (my comfy commuting flats only work with skirts b/c all my trousers are tailored to heel-length). From the subway stop, I have to walk 3 avenue blocks and 3 street blocks (in NY) to my internship at a not-for-profit law office and these are amaaaazing.
We agree — these are great shoes for pants, either for commuting shoes or just regular running-around-the-office shoes. The brown is on sale today ($69), while the black are at the regular price of $78. (Reader C also noted that she had gotten them for $51 at Nordstrom, but there doesn’t seem to be a link online.)

This strikes us as a great classic Mary Jane for all those of us who need a strap and a sturdy heel. We like that the detailing isn’t too shiny or too matte, and in general we like the comfort level of Aerosoles. This also comes in a red version, which we lurve, and a blue-on-blue version (for all those who prefer to wear navy shoes with navy suits). It’s $89.50 at Endless.com, available in sizes 5.5-12.

We’re loving these adorable pink suede Paul Smith heels — that bit of striping, that blast of color on the sole — love it all. We’d wear them with gray trousers and a very basic black blouse and blazer. And they’re on sale at Zappos — now $187, formerly $384. (They’re available in black patent, as well.)
