Kitten Heels

Most comfortable as the weight of the body gets adequate support from the wedge heeled footwear. The heels are thick with a sole. The wedge heel provides more arch support and reduces ankle and foot problems caused by other heel types. Refer the cover image for wedge heels.

Comfortable for both formal as well as informal get-togethers. They work well under trousers, jeans, saris or suits. These are medium heels and aren’t’ high like stilettos or short like kitten heels.

High Heeled Boot

Aah, my favorite winter footwear. Whether ankle boot or a knee high boot or a cowboy boot, they are comfortable and stylish. I was hand in glove with these my entire winter.

Pump Heels

From platform heels to peep toe, such type of high heels go along to work, shopping and dinners. They are comfortable as the weight of the foot is evenly divided on the heels.

  1. I would like to add another very popular and sexy type of high heels for women, the d’Orsay.
    This is a type of pump usually with a closed heel and toe. It is cut down to the sole at the sides leaving the arch of the foot visible. Recently open toed styles with a closed heel and cutout sides are also considered d’Orsays. Leaving the shank of the shoe bare creates a sexy silhouette.

    1. Hey i cud visualize the heels mentioned by u …my general preference are flat pumps as they r convenient for office wear…i would love a flat d’Orsay aswell… Thanks for the info.

  2. I had never actually heard of the term kitten heels before, but I like it! I have a lot of heels that would fit that description. Probably my favorite style!

  3. I’m such a mess at walking in heels. I used to be able to do it, but then i broke my foot and since then it’s been like I’ve I forgot how. Hopefully I’ll get back at it soon though. Fun post to read. xx
