Listen up ladies, brace yourselves for this revelation in phenomenal footwear. Thanks to fashion legacy Alessandra Lanvin, who launched her brand Aperlaï in 2009, we can finally stop dreaming about a heel that meets both the fashion and function criteria. Let’s be honest, when was the last time you bought a new pair of heels and tricked yourself into believing that the enormous heel was comfortably offset by the platform?

We all know that when it comes to the world of high heeled shoes, the look always trumps the comfort, but no more. Aperlaï brand shoes distinguish themselves not only because of the bright color blocking and sexy straps, but they are also rocking the boat with, you guessed it, comfortable heels. Lanvin notably collaborates with orthopedists to create soles, arches and heel heights that allow Aperlaï wearers to go all night on their feet.

Celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Jada Pinkett Smith, Kate Bosworth and Blake Lively have all been seen ditching their Louboutins for the fabulous SS 11 designs.

Here are my highlights of Aperlaï’s past collections, and let me tell you, there are so many more gorgeous designs beyond this gallery, so save your pennies for this worthwhile splurge.
