Overtime, more and more women began substituting comfort over style. 

In today's fast-paced world, women are now preferring easier slip-on shoes and functionality. Of course, it's okay to own a few signature pairs of heels, but for everyday wear, comfortable footwear prevails. According to research from Mintel, women are buying more athletic shoes, sandals, and flats, because they allow for multipurpose dressing. Plus, many sports shoe brands are creating more versatile footgear that can be worn with a variety of outfits.

An article from the Business of Fashion, indicates that women are prioritizing comfortable shoes over traditional high heels. The decline of high-heel sales reflects a broader cultural shift towards practicality and wearability. 

Do you remember Carrie Bradshaw's iconic Manolo Blahnik in Sex and the City? Once a symbol of status and femininity, those stilettos defined an era where high heels were seen as essential to a woman's wardrobe. But today, that image feels nostalgic, as the shift towards practicality and physical ease are now more popular than ever before. 

From low heels to high stilettos, most women continue to keep a pair of heels tucked away for special occasions. They still remain a symbol of elegance and empowerment, but only for moments where an accessory is needed to give off the look of glamour and sophistication.
