I Tried the Under-$50 Nordstrom Shoes Readers Love and Walked Miles Pain-Free

Buying shoes online has never been easy, but thanks to our associate fashion editor Sierra Mayhew, now it is. She zips around the stores of New York City trying on all the trending shoes to report on the comfortability, fit, and style so you never have to make a return again.

When Who What Wear readers talk, we listen.

I'm kind of known for being a shoe lover, and I have an obsessive personality. When I find something I like, I love it, and it doesn't leave my brain. That's exactly the case with the Cora Sandals from Open Edit. I first spotted them when I was working on a shoe story, and when I realized how comfortable they were, I decided to order them for myself. After wearing them over and over again, I started including them in all of my stories, and it became clear very quickly that the WWW readers were loving them just as much as I was.

Besides the fact that these shoes are absolutely beautiful, they also are my most comfortable heels to date. The soft, buttery leather doesn't cause friction with my skin, and the block heel keeps me stable. I had to try a few other Open Edit shoes out, so you'll find them below along with pictures of how I styled them. Some of them aren't comfortable enough for the 10,000-step test, but they look so good that they're worth wearing while you drive to the venue as opposed to walking. Scroll on to discover your new favorite shoes.
