Why It's Good:
There's a big difference between shoes that are comfortable and "comfort shoes." Thankfully, Corso Como manages to make feet feel like a dream and look perfectly stylish. With a brilliant selection of flats, pumps, platforms and more, the line has a feel-good/look-good style for every occasion.
Why It's Green:
Ever open a shoebox and find a pamphlet outlining the company's commitment to the environment and fair labor practices? Neither did we, until we got our Corso Como platforms. Hand-assembled in Brazil (by fairly paid workers in a safe, healthy workplace), the shoes are free of artificial coatings and use leathers that have been treated only with natural vegetable dyes. Boxes are made with recyclable paper—saving around 2,000 trees per year—and a portion of every sale goes to women's and children's charities.
Where To Get It:

Sexy Chic Summer Shoes
Just when you thought finding shoes you can actually walk in was a pipe dream, along comes Corso Como. Every pair features a super-soft, cushioned, natural-leather lining that molds to your feet and helps absorb perspiration—no more slipping, sliding or ugly toe-scrunch. "Untreated leather simply gives the wearer more comfort," says Maxwell Harrell, president of Corso Como. "Plus, we're cutting out the use of chemicals that would be otherwise released into our environment."
For a killer evening sandal that won't be killing you by the end of the night, opt for the chunky "Davis" heel (pictured, top). With zipper detailing at the back and red croc-embossed leather, it's as sexy as they come. Match it up with Larsen Gray's black, open-backed dress when you really want to make an entrance—not to mention an exit.
Another gorgeous summer option: the "Fidda"—a fresh take on this summer's gladiator-sandal craze, with black stitching and gold hardware. All you need to complete your Grecian Goddess look is Loomstate's organic-cotton halter dress or a Melissa Kirgan gown. Now that's what we call comfortably chic.—Stephanie Huszar
