18 Splurge-Worthy (and Surprisingly Practical) Clear Heel Sandals

Cult Gaia's Gigi Sandals feature a simple PVC strap set atop sculptural gold-tone heels. The stacked shapes draw inspiration from rounded stones dotting the ocean shore. A sleek square toe and taupe leather insole keep all the attention on the statement-making 2.5-inch heel.

But heads up! They're known to run a half-size small, so be sure to order a size larger than you typically wear.

Aquazzura's Tres Monaine Pointed-Toe Pumps modernize a traditional d'Orsay silhouette. Transparent PVC inlays and pave crystal embellishments breathe new life into the black suede stilettos. Pair them with an LBD for a cocktail party, a gown for a holiday gala, and jeans and a tee for a girl's night out. The mixed materials feel chic no matter what you've got on.

Shopping for a special occasion? Allow us to introduce you to the Crystal Clear Tuxedo Heel Sandals from Aminah Adul-Jillil— and their crystal-covered bow embellishments.

An almond-shaped toe and calf leather insole create a sophisticated look overall.

Saint Laurent shoes are known to run small, so you'll want to order a half-size larger than you typically wear.
