I can't help but notice that Forever 21 has recently stepped it up in their shoe department.  Much like their clothing and accessories, they've always displayed cute shoes at affordable prices.  However, I've always been one to believe that cheap shoes and horrible pain go hand in hand.  But suddenly I'm seeing girls wearing these and pronouncing that they're comfortable (as charmingly demonstrated by Carrie, Anna Jane, and Alicia).  I'm now changing my tune and planning on scoring a great pair of shoes for less than $30.  Here are a few of my favorites.  Do you have any shoes from Forever 21?

The Wedge

Why does it seem like cute shoes and comfortable shoes have to be mutually exclusive? One of my goals for the summer is to find a few pair of heels that will not torture my feet if Gabe and I decide to walk to dinner (which we do fairly often). During the winter it's a bit easier because high heeled boots seem to be more comfortable than pumps/heeled sandals. However, the wedge can definitely save the day and be my new best friend (sorry Gabe) if I could just get my hands on a comfortable pair. These are a few of the wedges I've been eyeing lately for summer. I would not consider any of them cheap, but I feel like shoes are a good place to splurge, especially if there's going to be some lengthy walks in our future.
