The Things You Need To Understands About Kitten Heels



Kitten heels are low, curved heels on women shoes, first popularized by Audrey Hepburn in the 1950s.

Though still considered high heels, most kitten heels are 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) or lower, providing comfort for women who detest wearing higher heels. Suggestions as to why kitten heels are called such center on comparing the heel to the claws of kitten. Like kitten claw, the heel curves inward from the back of the shoe, and then comes to point, slightly wider than the typical stiletto point.

Early kitten heels, with that “feminine curve” were often higher than 2 inches (5.08 cm). You can still find vintage kitten heels in thrift stores or vintage stores, and they are likely to be higher heeled shoe than modern versions of kitten heels. Kitten heels may be found on pumps, ankle or knee boots, and strappy sandals, all offering foot relief while remaining dressy.

Some people feel that kitten heels are easier to walk in than stilettos because they have more stability. The heel's point is usually under the middle of the heel instead of the back of the heel as with stiletto points. This is due to the inward curve of the heel. The lower heel, also translates to less of balancing act, which makes kitten heels suitable for walking, or dancing the night away at prom or ball. Taller woman may prefer kitten heels because they deemphasize height, which may be advantageous if one’s mate or date is little shorter.

Women who wish to make their feet appear smaller may not be happy with the look of kitten heels. Higher shoes translate to smaller “looking” feet. Both kitten heels and flats, especially in light colors, will not achieve this effect. Other women may feel comfort is far more important than foot size appearance. Kitten heels promote this comfort while remaining fashionable and attractive shoes.
