With the promise of warmer weather and longer days, it’s only natural for you and your friends to want to spend as much time playing in the outdoors as possible. It’s the peak season for garden parties, wedding receptions in wine country, and days spent at the track, so when it comes to getting dressed for spring occasions, we like to start from the feet up. Why? Because, unlike Rihanna who can walk on any surface wearing pin-thin stilettos like it’s no big deal, we cannot, so instead, we like to stick to these five styles.
The Block Heel

The Block Heel
By far our favourite, the block heel has our back when it comes to sink-prone surfaces like grass and gravel.

The See-Through

The See-Through
A less noticeable version of the beloved block heel, this Cinderella-like shoe is the perfect match for minimalists.

The Platform Wedge

The Platform Wedge
They’re as close to standing on solid ground as you can get, but beware of styles that taper towards the sole as they can be quite the balancing act.

The Faux Stiletto

The Faux Stiletto
With a skinny side profile and a thick behind, this slender take on the block heel is a win-win for those who rarely stray from a stiletto.

The Basically Flat

The Basically Flat
There’s nothing wrong with wearing flats to a special event, but if you’re looking to gain a little more height, look to low block heels with a difference.
