Functional, versatile footwear is on the rise — shoes that in an instant can be pulled from your handbag to give you relief from those 4.5 inch stilettos are all the rage these days. We tested a handful of them, and here are our top picks:

Pocketflops are the fabulous new foldable flip flop designed out of recycled tire rubber, and organic cotton, making them an ecofriendly shoe solution for the woman on the go.We love that they fold in half, and when you wear them, you can’t feel, or see, that they fold downward (you can trust us, we tested them!)

Fabbys are a unique twist on the classic ballet flats that roll up to a compact size and come in a chic velvet pouch.

Both convenient and comfortable, CitySlips foldable ballet flats are the perfect backup shoe to carry along to any high heeled event. Not only are they functional and affordable, these shoes will definitely come in handy on those long city walks back to your apartment after a night out in strappy stilettos.

Fit in Clouds are portable flats with a thick rubber sole that provides support and comfort, so when your feet are sore, you can feel as if you are walking on clouds!
FootzyRolls (come on, don’t you love the name?) are rollable flats that have a water proof and skid proof sole, with the upper made from a PU that you can easily wipe and clean!

yes, I love the concept of these and I’ve blogged a bit myself. But… it’s easy to shove these in your purse but where the heck do you put your heels? They won’t fit in a clutch.
The rollable shoe is such a great concept, i have tried a few of the brands and found a favorite, they are called Konvine, see konvine.com, they roll up nicely but last longer and they have real cute styles.
Great picks! I’m hoping to try out the Footzyrolls soon, they are too cute in the pink python style!

Was wearing high heels on a date last night and we had to go back to my car so I could change my shoes before we went walking. Annoying, but necessary 🙂 The Cityslips look really nice, I’m going to order a pair right now – I really could have used them last night!
