A timeless elegance in versatile kitten heels
Sexy, timeless and classic describes the kitten heel best. A popular ‘50s shoe that continues to remain relevant, this slightly smaller heel has been a go-to for everyone from vintage lovers to executive women, with every kind of sophisticated fashionista in between. Originally created with younger women in mind, the kitten heel was the first formal shoe a teenage girl would adopt as she began to set foot in social settings. Remaining relevant for women seeking a more walkable, comfortable approach to formal footwear, they continue to provide functionality and style everywhere from the runway to the boardroom.
Every year the kitten heel resurfaces with new styles and approaches to the classic small heel. Currently trending again, this elevated shoe provides more than just an instant upscale to outfits, they are actually more comfortable than many flats as they support high arches and provide less strain on calves. Any heel-wearing person understands that heels can be challenging for long use. With a kitten heel, the foot strain is relieved, allowing for a long night of dancing or walking.
