Nothing can replace the glam look of stilletos, but some days, when I am on my feet for 10 hours (or more!) I need a more comfortable alternative. Apparently, I’m not the only one, because designers have flooded the market this season with kitten heels – one of my favorite looks!
The kitten heel offers the best of both worlds – the leg elongating, dressed-up look of a high heel, but the comfort and wearability of a cute ballet flat.
Originally introduced in the late 1950’s for younger teenaged girls, kitten heels were quickly adopted by women of all ages. A resurgence of the style occurred in the 1980’s and thankfully, kitten heels are once again au courant!
Above are some of my top picks for the season in a wide variety of price points for all budgets.
