Why block heels are an all-day hero
Block heel pumps spread weight more evenly, adding stability for commuting, events, and long days. They offer height with less strain, making them a smart choice for work and occasions where you’ll be on your feet.
Fit and comfort
- Heel height: 5–7 cm is versatile; ensure the heel sits under your center of gravity.
- Footbed: Cushioned insoles reduce ball-of-foot pressure.
- Uppers: Soft leather/eco leather molds to your foot over time.
- Toe shape: Almond or soft pointed toes balance elegance and comfort.
Styling
- Work: Block-heel pumps with ankle trousers and a blazer.
- Events: Pair with midi dresses and a clutch; great for weddings where you’ll stand or dance.
- Casual polish: With straight denim and a tucked tee for a lifted yet relaxed look.
Care
Replace heel tips as they wear; use protectant on uppers; store with trees. Rotate pairs to preserve cushioning.
