We all know about party shoes–they’re the shoes you wear to the party, duh, and they’re awesome and you’ve been waiting all summer for your one chance to wear them.  You know what we’re talking about.

But if you don’t, here’s what we’re talking about.

Party shoes! Get it? You wear them to a party, and it’s like you have another, even better party wrapped around your feet. That’s what we’re talking about. And being talked about is generally the point, right, when it comes to shoes like the Chie Mihara ‘Coalho’s above, or the Corso Como ‘Dodie’ Wedges beside them?

So we’re all on the same page here. Party Shoes.

But as R. Kelly says, after the party, there’s the after-party, and after the…well anyway, you get the point. So what then? What to do when your feet want to step down from the heels, but not away from the glam? 

Vending machines? It’s been tried…

But come now. Let’s be real. Let’s get honest. Let’s talk about the shoes we all keep in our bags, just waiting there, curled beside our lipstick, ready to be slipped on at a moment’s notice at the appropriate point of a party. Let’s call them our dancing shoes.

Like these Bernardo ‘Barney’ flats…

Or these, the ‘Tess Classics’ by Matt Bernson…

So tell us girls, what pair do you pair with the pair that draws stares? What flats and ballets do you like to keep hiding and lurking and tucked away while your wedges, stilletos and pumps go to work?

Tell us your secrets, lovelies, and you might just see a reward in return…
