Make fun of me. Remember when you wore heels for the first time? How did you find that experience? I’ve loved high heels in all their forms—sky-high platforms, sleek stilettos, and tiny kitten heels—for as long as I can remember. Since I’ve come to the realization that I can’t live without comfy shoes, the latter has been my go-to option. To be honest, it took me a while to get to that point. I was once a living example of Victoria Beckham’s famous adage, “I can’t concentrate in flats!” However, I’ve been humbled by the realities of commuting in New York City, a serious foot fracture, and far too many falls on the pavement.
Fortunately for me, the emergence of numerous comfy shoe trends has coincided with my physical fall from grace. Ballet flats? They’re back, sweetheart! Old-fashioned sneakers? They’re very popular at the moment. Not to be overlooked is kitten-heel boots, another boot design that is now popular. In recent seasons, Khaite, Gucci, and Loewe’s runway displays have used shorter boots with hefty block heels and low kitten heels. It’s reasonable to say that they’re here to stay for the foreseeable future, especially with winter now well underway, even though their return may surprise some. After all, wearing high-heeled boots during a snowstorm isn’t practical at all!
Investing in shoes that are both practical for the bitter cold and stylish enough to feel good all season long is essential during this time of year. As someone who used to love stilettos, I can tell you that kitten heels can handle the challenge. Scroll down if you’re still not convinced. Below, I’ve compiled a list of the top 42 kitten-heel boots according to reviews, price, quality, adaptability, and current trends. Believe me. You might even be praising these kitten-heel boots because they are so comfortable to wear in any urban setting.
