Adjustability makes all the comfort difference, whether it’s on a dressed-up wedge from AETREX (left) or a sporty take on the fisherman sandal from DR. SCHOLL’S (right).

With leather details this rich from these L’ARTISTE BY SPRING STEP heels, anything less than full coverage would be a wasted opportunity.
