Dear reader, I have good news. Long gone are the days of suffering in sky-high or all-round impractical heels every day. Yes, we might want to revisit them for special occasions, but we’ve noticed that fashion people are done with abusing their feet and are gravitating towards more wearable shoe styles. Enter, the mid-heel shoe.
Everywhere you look this season, from boots to pumps, the mid-heel is the number one trend in the shoe game right now. I’m not talking about a chunky flatform heel, and no, it isn’t a kitten heel either, but these slim demi and modest block heels come with enough lift so as not to be considered a flat, but stay lower than four inches. They’re not only incredibly chic, but they’re also manageable for everyday wear. Sorry flats, but that’s a win-win in our book.
Just look through the A/W 23 shows and you’ll see polished and pointy pairs from Prada, ladylike mary janes from Armani and sleek slip-ons from Tod’s—none of which are anywhere near high enough to even suggest a rolled ankle.
Like the sound of stylish shoes that won’t require a foot rub at the end of the day? Keep scrolling for our top picks of the most comfortable (and chicest) mid-heel shoes that every collection needs.
