The quilted kitten heel
From puffy coats to purses, it seems like quilted leather is a real vibe at the moment. These quilted-effect kitten heels are not only a spectacular dupe of some (insanely) pricey designer versions out there, but are super cute and will look great styled with anything-in-your-closet — seriously, you cannot style these wrong. At under $40, we suggest picking them up in the black, too.

The date-night kitten heel
The date-night pump of dreams, this sexy black kitten heel shoe totally looks the part of your higher-heeled “night-out” shoes, with one exception: you can actually walk in these. Let’s be honest, there’s just nothing sexy about teetering over as you attempt to strut in 6-inch heels, and wincing in pain is just not a good look. Enter: the comfy kitten heel. You’re welcome.

The thigh-high kitten heel boot
If you thought kitten heels were exclusive to sandals and pumps, think again. These nude-grey thigh-high boots offer a sexy suede style — with a comfy twist. The kitten heel gives this style more of a boost than a flat would, without feeling as overkill as the sky-high-heel versions out there.
