Certified by magazines like Vogue, Nylon, and WhoWhatWear (and endorsed by celebs like Kaia Gerber and Hailey Bieber), the kitten heel is officially back. Combining a preppy, feminine polish with comfort and ease, there is no better or more versatile shoe to take for a stroll along the boardwalk. Here are our best recommendations, ranging from chunky slip-on sandals to classic slingback pumps.
The classic, yet summery design allows for breathable walks along the promenade or lunches under the sun. A perfect fit to all occasions, the heel comes in at a perfect 2.5 inches. Designed with Pillow Walk technology, the padded insole and dual density foam mold to your feet, absorb impact, and secure balance, allow for breezy, comfortable, all-day wear. The shoe comes in a perfect, versatile nude to pair with every sort of sundress, as well as black or gold leather for special nighttime dinners and flashier, glamorous ensembles.
These lavender slingbacks add a gorgeous pop of pastel summer hues to any outfit. Crafted from satin weave fabric, the shoe's ankle buckle allows for a more dressy touch to its slip-on style. The footbed is lined with luxurious faux leather leading to a classy pointed square toe. The heels are perfect for a day-to-night transition from a fabulous networking event to a summertime dinner alfresco.

Anatomy of the Minimalist Style + 3 Brands We Love
The concept of minimalist fashion has gone from a typical fashion philosophy to a popular aesthetic and even a way of living; from wearing basic staple pieces that you can switch in and out seamlessly to sizing down your closet to fewer items, the style is very much still in.
These suave kitten heels pair luxe leather with a relaxed, slip-on sandal fit, perfect for when you want something more elevated than flip-flops but not as buttoned-up as a court shoe. Suitable for everyday wear, the square toe adds a fashionable touch in five different shades. Peach and peach patent leather are perfect for those monochromatic ensembles, while a shimmering black combines professionalism with summer style — but gold cracked metallic and peach pop woven raffia add stunning textual details to any look.
Combining the it-girl slingbacks with the effortlessly easy sandal style, these leather shoes were crafted to be "structured yet delicate," providing ample support with the daintiness and comfort of a kitten heel. Available in seven different colors, the black, white, and nude stylings offer high-quality basic shoes with a warm-weather edge, while pastels like lilac and light blue are summer wedding, baby shower, and birthday lunch-friendly. Try gold or gorgeous patent leather red for a pop of color beneath the sun.
These gorgeous slingback pumps look like they could be Charlotte-York approved with a patent leather "upgrade to your everyday classic." Featuring Nine West's 9x9 technology, the shoe possess additional flexibility cushioning, shock absorption and breathability for maximum comfort during the summer months, making this the perfect work shoe. Jet black and dark blue pair perfectly with any working girl outfit, while plum patent has a gorgeous, statement old-money touch.
The brand that invented summer has a few things to say about shoes. Exquisitely crafted with luxurious burnished leather, the pointed-toe heel was built with a padded footbed designed to provide lasting comfort throughout the day — especially believable, given its 1.75 inch heel height. The slingback is elastic for maximum comfort, and the sole was cleaned by a professional leather specialist. While it comes in a classic patent black and a cowboy leather tan, we prefer a gleaming white shade — perfect for everyday wear right up until labor day.
Bring back Barbie summer with these chic and comfortable mule sandals, perfect for stepping into as soon as you wake up in your own pink world (or before you run out the door to brunch). Made of gleaming patent leather at a rubber sole, these slip-ons also include Aldo's Pillow Walk comfort features, making this the ultimate shoe for on-the-go wear. If pink isn’t your thing, snag these in a universal summery white instead for maximum comfort with a minimalist touch.
These vintage-style kitten heels feature adorable bow detailing and neat inseam stitching that can add a prettily feminine touch to any sundress, skirt suit, or romper. Featuring an elegant but dainty woven satin construction alongside a trendy square footbed and cushioned leather insole, the chicly designed thick blade heel offers additional support and structure wherever you decide to go.
