Explore Different Types of Women’s Heels

Block Heels

Block Heels use a broader heel base, making them a useful option for women who want added height with a more stable feel underfoot. They work particularly well for work, weddings, garden parties and events where you may be standing for longer periods.

High Heels

High Heels create a more elevated silhouette and are often chosen for evening events, formal occasions and statement dressing.

Kitten Heels

Kitten Heels offer a lower heel profile that suits office dressing, daytime events and occasions where you want polish without excessive height.

Slingback Heels

Slingback Heels feature an open back with a strap around the heel, making them a refined option for dresses, tailoring and warmer-weather occasionwear. Andrea Biani

Wedge Heels

Wedge heels offer height through a broader, more continuous sole and can be particularly practical for outdoor events and summer dressing.

For an open warm-weather version of that look, browse Wedge Sandals.

How to Choose the Right Heel Height

Heel height is only one part of comfort. Heel shape, sole construction, strap placement, fit through the forefoot and cushioning all influence how wearable a pair feels.

For longer occasions, many women prefer:

• block heels
• kitten heels
• lower heel heights
• wedges
• secure slingback or ankle straps
• cushioning beneath the forefoot

If comfort is the priority, stability and fit are often more important than simply choosing the lowest heel.

For a deeper look at comfort principles in footwear, read The Most Comfortable Women’s Boots for All-Day Wear. While the article focuses on boots, the same fundamentals around cushioning, support and stable construction are useful when evaluating heels.

Comfortable Heels for All-Day Wear

Comfortable heels should feel secure and balanced rather than forcing the foot forward or making you compensate when walking.

Look for:

• a stable heel shape
• cushioning under the forefoot
• secure straps
• adequate room through the toe box
• a manageable heel height
• a shape suited to your foot width

Block Heels and Kitten Heels are useful places to start if you want elevation without relying on a very narrow heel.

Gold and silver heels work particularly well for weddings, parties and evening occasions.

Statement Colours

Pink, red, blue and other bold shades can add personality to simple outfits and make footwear a focal point.

Women’s Heels Through Winter

Heels are not limited to spring and summer. Closed-toe heels, slingbacks and more structured styles can work through colder months for office and evening wear.

Women’s Heels vs Heeled Sandals

Women’s heels generally include more structured or enclosed styles such as pumps, slingbacks and block heels, while Heeled Sandals use more open constructions suited to warmer weather.

Choose women’s heels if you want:

• a more structured or formal silhouette
• greater seasonal versatility
• closed or semi-closed styles
• work-ready options

Choose heeled sandals if you prefer:

• open summer footwear
• lighter styling
• warm-weather wedding or holiday dressing
• summer event footwear
