5 reasons the block heel is this season's wardrobe staple
Jemima Vine shoe designer Jennifer Markham is a big advocate of block heels. Here she explains why…
1) They are an Instagram hit
The classic two tone pumps are making a resurgence on catwalks, celebrities and street-stylers. Hence why our Instagram feeds are awash with block heel snaps. If they were good enough for Coco Chanel…
2) Your body will thank you
At around two inches, this heel gives your body support and stability, improves posture and is better for you than most ballet flats. Needless to say, they are incredibly comfortable.
3) They are your new work week heroes
There is nothing these beauties won’t handle with grace and aplomb.
Don’t carry that extra bag of trainers on your morning commute. These will get you through that early morning sprint to catch the bus, to the meeting three streets away when you can’t get a taxi or to a cocktail after hours. They have it covered.
4) You can wear them with everything
This heel brings instant polish to any outfit. Freshen them up with ripped denim or sharpen with tailored culottes. Add to a simple monochrome ensemble or wear with clashing prints as a statement piece.
5) They are so much more comfortable than stilettos
You know that the days of five inch platforms are long gone when even Victoria Beckham says that she can’t “do” heels anymore. A block heel still gives you that confident, lifted feeling, but how much better does it look when you can actually walk in your heels?
