What is the difference between heels and kitten heels?
The difference between heels and kitten heels comes down to the type of heel the shoes rest on. Heels are any women's shoes that feature an elevated heel. Also called pumps, heels come in various heights and shapes, including chunky blocked heels and narrow stilettos. Kitten heels are another type of heel. They have narrow, slightly curved heels that are usually between 1 and 2 inches tall. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of kitten heels and other heels.
