A good shoe, specifically a good high heel, is an absolute must for any well-dressed woman. Yes, high heels hurt and aren't nearly as comfortable as a pair of ballet flats. But they make you instantly sexier and chicer. Now that being said, you can't go over a certain height (4 inches for me) or you can look tacky. Never, and I mean never, buy anything with any sort of platform. Don't purchase anything that wraps up your leg either.
Every single woman's wardrobe should include a pair of black stilettos. Non-negotiable. You can wear them with almost anything.
I'm not a huge fan of Carrie's wardrobe on Sex and the City, but her gladiator heels for the movie were an instant classic (and endlessly replicated). Plus who could forget the infamous black, patent leather Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes?

I'll be honest here re: ballet flats -- a good pair of low heeled shoes is far more comfortable than flats since flats rarely have good arch support.
I'm doing pretty good on your list so far, although I need a new pair of black heels. Unfortunately the last pair I had was not very attractive, but I gave them away before I replaced them! Any ideas? They need to be decently comfortable in case I end up having to wear them on the wards.
Unfortunately, high heels are usually uncomfortable. The key is to get ones that fit snuggly (but not painfully). Kitten heels are also amazing in that they make outfits look chicer without the pain of a stiletto. I've found a few good pairs at vintage stores. I also don't wear my super uncomfortable/ super high heels when I know I'm going to be standing.
