If your holiday social calendar is packed with events, it's time to find the perfect pair of shoes. The proper party footwear is more than necessary, since you’ll be navigating through icy winter streets and then busting a move at your office soiree. But, the trick to making it past midnight? Look for a pair with a sturdy heel, whether its a kitten heel, a block or even if you’re more of a stiletto girl- we’ve got something for you! So cue the music and dim the lights, below we’ve rounded up the ultimate selection of holiday party shoes. (Glitter isn’t necessary but highly suggested!)
