Fashion-forward and comfortable seems a little too good to be true when it comes to fancy footwear, so when we spotted this pair of Dana Davis Peony heels at the Los Angeles-based shoe designer’s Bloomingdales bash last week, it seemed a little too good to be true.
Davis, a retired Kindergarten teacher who is also the daughter of Barbara and Marvin Davis, launched the Dana Davis collection when she couldn’t find a pair of stylish, but comfortable heels.
The designer revealed to RadarOnline.com the events that led her to change careers from schoolteacher to stylista.
Davis, who was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes as a child, became plagued with Diabetes-related foot problems and had to quit her job due to the active duties in the classroom. After seeing her options and scouring tradeshows in search of a fashion forward shoe on the market, she decided to develop her own collection.

But only feeling is believing! We tried on these chambray and leather Dana Davis heels after removing a pair of stylish stilettos,
The collection ranges in price from $275 for pair of chic Holly moccasins to $450 for a pair of red carpet-worthy heels. For a list of retailers or to purchase online, visit the Dana Davis website by clicking here.
