There’s been so much buzz around ballerina-esque flats and streamlined smoking loafers, but mark my words: kitten-heel boots will prove to be the smartest investment over time. Not to go all “girl maths” on you, but the cost-per-wear will certainly make more sense once temperatures start to drop below freezing point.

It’s a versatile shoe that will go the extra mile during the colder months, but they are also suitable for use during warmer weather.

What’s even better? Unlike their flatter counterparts, kitten-heel boots offer a bit of height, which elevates any outfit without drastically compromising comfort. Just look at some of the latest street-style pictures for proof.

Attendees’ on-the-go looks are a blueprint that demonstrates the walkability of the low heel and its undeniable charm.

For the best kitten-heel boots, we’re turning to brands like Khaite and Staud, which have practically perfected the art of the mini-to-midi-heel. Of course, there are so many more styles to fall in love with, so scroll on to discover our curation of the best kitten-heel boots, plus how to wear each style.
