While a neutral shoe is always a good investment, we have one problem with them -- they can be boring. Even though we know that they'll look fabulous, and elongate our leg, we just have a hard time wearing a shoe that, in the box, makes us yawn.

That's why we love this Mitaka Heel by L.A.M.B. in gray, available for $354.99 at Heels.com. It does everything a nude shoe needs to do, but it does it with some extra style. Instead of simply being a shoe we'd wear with an outfit needing a neutral, we'd search out ensembles to wear with these shoes!
The platform is huge this season, and for good reason -- it makes you look taller and leggier without lifting your heel six inches above the ball of your foot. And, we know this isn't a terribly affordable shoe, but if you're going to invest, shouldn't it be in a shoe you can wear with everything?
