Choosing a Heel Height and Style
Block, kitten and stiletto heels each bring something different to a heeled sandal. A block heel gives the steadiest base, useful for outdoor events or a full day on your feet, while a kitten heel adds a little lift without much extra effort.
A stiletto-heeled sandal is the dressiest option, best saved for evenings when the outfit is doing most of the work rather than the shoe.
Daytime, Evening and Warmer-Weather Wear
Heeled sandals suit daytime and evening equally well, depending on the height chosen, and hold their own against slingback sandals for anyone who wants a dressier finish with more of the foot on show. A lower block or kitten heel works well for daytime errands or the office, while anything closer to a stiletto suits dinner or a night out.
Compared with a closed heel, an open sandal keeps the foot cooler through the warmer months without giving up the height or polish a heel adds. This makes an easy swap for anyone who finds closed styles too warm once the weather turns.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between a block, kitten and stiletto heel?
A: A block heel is wider and more stable, a kitten heel is low and slim, and a stiletto is tall and slender. Height and stability increase in that order, so the right choice depends on how much walking the day involves.
Q: Are heeled sandals suitable for everyday wear?
A: Yes, particularly in a block or kitten heel. Both give a dressier look than a flat sandal while staying comfortable enough for a full day of wear.
Q: Can heeled sandals be worn to evening events?
A: They can, especially in a higher heel. A stiletto-heeled sandal reads as formal as a closed heel while keeping the foot cooler, which suits warm evening events particularly well.
Q: Are heeled sandals as supportive as a closed-toe heel?
A: A well-fitted heeled sandal with an ankle or back strap offers similar support to a closed heel. The open front simply keeps the foot cooler without changing how secure the shoe feels.
