Melissa
Party Heel, $139
Remember jelly shoes, the little plastic sandals from childhood? Melissa makes adult versions that are so comfortable and well-made, I have eight pairs!

Melissa frequently collaborates with designers like Viktor&Rolf, Vivienne Westwood, and Jean Paul Gaultier, and the shoes are so stylish they’ll be shocked at how comfortable they are. The best gift: no blisters or bunions, baby!
