Sometimes you justneed a little lift.
Just askKatie Holmes, who recently stepped out in New York City wearing a neutral pair ofFranco Sarto espadrille wedges, a smart shoe that delivered a boost of height and a healthy dose of style. TheDawson’s Creekalum’s daytime outfit looked fresh for spring — even as we’re patiently waiting for the weather to warm up.
She accented her cozy oatmeal-colored sweater and black wide-leg trousers, which she wore with a Lafayette 148 belt, with comfy two-tone sandals that brilliantly picked up both shades in her ensemble. The actress kept the rest of her accessories subdued so her shoes could steal the spotlight.

Wedges are a great comfy alternative to heels without losing an ounce of elegant sophistication. We found the style Holmes was wearing on sale at Zappos for under $80, though her beige-and-black colorblock option isn’t available. You can scoop them up in three other neutral colors, like brown, black, and white, along with a few vibrant ones like red, orange, and teal.
