14 Pairs of Kitten Heels You Can Wear All Day, Every Day

by Hannah Lewis

After falling head over heels for kitten heels when they made a comeback last year, it’s now a rarity to spot me in any other heel height. Finally—something I can actually walk in and feel great in. For me, it was Manolo Blahnik’s Maysale pumps that instantly rid the style of its previous frumpy, mumsy reputation and turned them into the must-have shoes. During the summer, I pretty much lived in my Mango strappy thong mules, aka the perfect style to team with floral dresses for weddings, as well as being the perfect shoes to comfortably dress up jeans for a night out. But after being caught in a serious downpour, I have now turned to take a look at the autumn/winter kitten-heel offerings.

These white shoes are perfect for in-between seasons.

It’s no surprise Balenciaga’s knife mules are back for another season—they’re every fashion week showgoer’s heel of choice. From candy-floss pink to houndstooth checks, we spotted them at every turn at Copenhagen and Stockholm fashion weeks. Gucci’s bamboo-heel pointed mules are another favourite, providing an ideal seasonal transition, while Miu Miu’s pearl-embellished satin mules offer the perfect amount of bling to turn a pair of jeans into a fashion moment. For all the miniature heels I’m into right now, keep scrolling for my edit of the best around.
