The Kitten Heel Is Making A Comeback, Here Are 8 You Need In Your Wardrobe

Everyone knows that heels make the legs look great. But sometimes, beauty is literally pain, and those sky-high shoes aren’t always practical. Enter the sensible kitten heels, the comfortable alternative to towering stilettos and heels. While the style might evoke the image of Audrey Hepburn in her pair of Givenchy kitten heel pumps from Breakfast At Tiffany’s, designers from Demna to Daniel Lee are showing that this ladylike footwear can have a cool side too. Ahead, some of the newfangled ways the kitten heels are shaping up for Fall/Winter 2022.
