The Kitten Heel Edit

The Kitten Heel Edit

A little lift, all day ease

The kitten heel edit — slingbacks, thong sandals, mules and pumps with a low, walkable heel. Flagged designer styles link straight to the brand's own site.

The best kitten-heel shoes offer a little lift without giving up a walkable feel. I’m looking at Favorite Daughter’s Gabi, Veronica Beard’s Tia Macrame Sandal, Clea Jelly sandal and Lisa boot, and Tory Burch’s Double T Buckle pump and Pierced Slingback Heel.

Six kitten heels, numbered one to six

Eight more kitten heels

Toteme's Sharp 35 comes in tiger-print calf hair, Nodaleto's Dona 50 in coated velvet, and Ganni's Sue has a bow and a deep shine finish, so those are the three with the most personality. Reformation's Calista slingback and rag & bone's Paloma patent pump are the quiet, everyday pair.

 

Loeffler Randall's Dixie is the strappy sandal, Black Suede Studio's Riley 50 is a mule pump, and Staud's Brigitte is the mule I would wear on warmer days. If you want to keep browsing, I also put together Kitten Heel Chic and Kitten-Heel Boots.
