Block heel

A block heel is a thick, squared-off heel with a broad, flat base under the back of the foot. Because the weight spreads across a wide surface rather than a single point, block heels are far more stable and comfortable to walk in than stilettos, offering height without the wobble — on sandals, boots, and pumps alike.

Block heels range from low and chunky to tall and statement-making, and the squared shape reads modern and grounded. They're a practical choice for long days, uneven surfaces, and everyday wear.

Compared with the delicate kitten heel or a fine stiletto, the block heel trades daintiness for sturdiness and comfort.
