While I was visiting San Francisco last month I made a mistake of walking in a brand new pair of Jimmy Choo flat for hours. I have a very sensitive skin and I gets blisters around my ankle easily. Luckily, before the blister situation got too bad, I found an alternative pair of shoes in the Saks Fifth Avenue store across street from my hotel.

I have to admit that this is not my first time dealing with a minor shoe emergency. From my personal experience, there are usually two possible outcomes to situation like this. I could find something comfortable, but I have to settle for a show with a less than perfect look. Or, if I am lucky, I might be able to find something comfortable and that I actually like.

After trying various pairs of flats and sandals, I found my “new favorite” pair – the Prada Jeweled Double-Strapped sandal in Platinum. It’s made of Prada’s Saffiano metallic leather (scratch resistant) and rhinestones. The ankle straps on the sandal fall right above where my blisters were. The design of the shoes is so comfortable. And I like the color; it is neutral and matches with any outfit. I am very glad that I didn’t have to sacrifice good looks for comfort after all.

Prada Jeweled Double-Strapped sandal in Platinum (also available in Black) is perfect for sunny weather. I could wear it with a True Religion skinny jeans for a casual look, or pair it with a summery dresses for a night out. It also goes perfectly with my new Louis Vuitton Prefall Speedy bag in Black!
