By now, I believe the importance of a pair of good shoes is crystal clear; it makes or breaks the overall impact of an outfit. Shoes have the ability to lengthen your legs, add extra oomph, and set the mood of the entire ensemble.

Therein lies a common problem we all face: Finding leg-lengthening shoes that don’t cripple our feet. We all know that stilettos are a foolproof bet for making our legs look like they go on for miles. Unfortunately, it’s almost impossible to wear them for an entire day without killing our feet.

Well, that’s all about to change now. In the recent seasons, the '90s revival has brought back this super comfortable but polarising shoe trend in a big way. It packs plenty of height with the least amount of pain!
