How Much are Slingback Kitten Heels?
Finding the Right Shoes for You
Whether they’re Hermès sandals, black Jimmy Choo boots, ivory-leather-and-pink-daisy heels by sublime shoemaker Manolo Blahnik or Christian Louboutin platform pumps, you can find your next pair of legendary luxury vintage and designer shoes today on 1stDibs.
Shoes offered by the likes of Versace, Chanel, Charles Jourdan or Prada are integral to completing your carefully orchestrated street-style or evening ensemble these days, but footwear wasn’t always the big deal it is for your average Adidas enthusiast.
The decorative floor-length gowns that upper-class women of the 18th century wore meant that their shoes, then likely featuring high curved heels finished with woven or embroidered silks — a sharp contrast to the heavy, rudimentary form of the era’s footwear for men — were partially or entirely obscured by the base of their ornate dresses. What good is fashion if it’s tucked away?
Our modern age’s legions of sneakerheads might have trouble tracking down a pair of black-and-gold vintage Jordans but can at least fill their dream closets with original Adidas Gazelles or 1980s New Balances if they put the time in, while 1990s-era Prada pumps or a good pair of mid-20th-century jewel-tone heels in satin or silk haven’t lost their allure with today’s nostalgic fashionistas.
A pair of shoes can commemorate an achievement, mark an important trip overseas and is sometimes a rich manifestation of a hard-won physical feat. On 1stDibs, find Chanel flats or two-tone heels, Christian Dior pumps, vintage Margiela Tabi boots and many more designer shoes today.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The 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.
- Why is it called a kitten heel?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023Whether slingbacks are more comfortable than other heels is largely a matter of personal preference. Some people like the support provided by the heel strap or find that the design helps to keep their feet cooler and drier. With any style of shoe, comfort depends on a good fit, so consult sizing charts before you purchase slingbacks. On 1stDibs, find a collection of slingbacks from some of the world's top boutiques.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Kitten heels are narrow, round heels that measure 1 inch in height or less. Toes on kitten heels vary and may be round, pointed, square, almond or even open. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of vintage and designer kitten heels.
