This Comfortable Heel Is Having a Major Moment
Depending on who you ask, black kitten heels have never truly gone away. In fact, much like leopard print, they’re often considered a timeless staple. To put it more accurately, the shoe trend was simply put off to the side as it patiently awaited its return to the limelight—which, of course, is now. Let us be the first to say these are not your grandmother’s kitten heels. (No offense, Grandma.)
Regardless of whether you love or hate the low-heel trend, we can safely say that the fashion world has officially gone through stiletto fatigue, opting for more comfortable (yet polished) options. While we could always wear a sleek pair of ankle boots or cool sneakers, a kitten heel only seems natural for those moments when you want to take your ensemble to the next level. From dainty sandals and mules to classic pointy-toe heels, the black kitten heel has become bigger than ever before. If you’re ready to ditch the sky-high heels in the name of ease and comfort, shop our favorite version on the market below. You won’t regret it.
Trust us, you'll never want to take these off.
