Why is it called a kitten heel?
A kitten heel is thusly called because this lower heel was designed for young women, referenced as kittens, who were still getting used to walking in heels, and were not ready to wear a taller heel. This lower heel caught on with all ages for its charming style and message of youth. Browse a wide range of beautiful kitten heels on 1stDibs.
