Types of High Heels

Six classic heel types — know the difference before you choose or design.

Stiletto 8–12 cm

The classic statement heel. A thin, tapered heel that elongates the leg — made for evenings and special occasions.

Kitten Heel 3–5 cm

A slim, low heel with vintage charm. All-day comfort for office wear and retro-inspired looks.

Block Heel 4–8 cm

A wide, stable heel that balances style and comfort. Perfect for workwear and street style.

Wedge Heel

A continuous slope from toe to heel for casual comfort. A summer sandal favourite.

Platform

A thick sole that reduces the pitch angle — dramatic height with less strain on the foot.

Cone & Flared

Tapered or flared silhouettes with a retro 70s vibe — a signature look for distinctive brands.
