The term comfortable, as employed in the footwear industry, refers to footwear specially designed to provide adequate foot support or relief from discomfort when walking or running. The signature features of comfortable footwear are padded footbeds, broader toe boxes, contoured footbeds that follow the shape of the foot, shorter heel heights, flexible soles, greater arch support, polyurethane outer soles, and in some cases, rubber nubs on the soles to increase traction.
About High Heel:
High heel are shoes which raise the heel of a shoe or boot between 2" to 4" higher than the toes. High heel shoes are generally limited to women's footwear and come in a variety of styles and designs. The heels on high heels shoes are also found in many different shapes, including stiletto, block, tapered, blade, and wedge.
About Sandals:
Sandals are open footwear consisting, in its most basic design; of a sole which is fastened or held to the foot by straps or thongs, leaving most or all of the foot exposed. Sandals are primarily a warm weather type of footwear and can be classified based on the function and activity for which they are intended or by their design and style. Casual and walking sandals are mainly designed for comfort, while sport sandals are mostly intended to provide support, traction and performance. Fashionable and dress sandals for women may have many of the style variations found on other shoe styles such as medium to high heels, platforms, toe covering etc. Other styles of sandals include, but are not limited to; flip flops, thongs, ankle strap sandals, fisherman sandals, wedge sandals, etc.
Earthies Positano DANGEROUS SHOES!

Reviewer: Sharon from Roseville, CA
I have had these shoes for awhile, but wore them for the first time today. Due to the design and construction, I almost fell several times. I had to be very careful when I was walking, so I would not roll my ankle. I had to wear them all day because I was at work. I had to stop at a store on the way home and had to walk very carefully, so I could get from and to my car without falling. Worse than that, I had a problem driving and placing my foot on the gas pedal. Wearing these shoes while driving, is also very dangerous. I do not recommend these shoes. Walking up and down stairs is also, unsafe. I cannot wear these shoes again.
Wears this shoe: Will not wear again!
