The shoes we wear are a statement but we don’t always have to suffer to make that statement. Turning a game day into a girl’s night can last for hours. If our feet hurt, we won’t be able to fully enjoy the night, which isn’t what we’re trying to do here.

I will be the first to admit I am a heel lover. Standing at 5’2”, I have worn 6-inch heels since I was in 8th grade just to give my neck a break. Having worn heels for over a decade I am well aware of the pain they can bring. Sometimes that pain is worth it but most of the time you’re counting down the hours till you can rip them off your sore feet. I don’t want you to be thinking about anything other than the girls you’re out with on your next night out.

Here are five footwear options for your next girl’s night out that will transition seamlessly from dinner to the game, and whatever you get into after.
