So I had a problem. About a year ago, I discovered my absolute adoration of heels of all kinds. You could catch me falling for a stiletto, catching feelings for a pump, or lusting over a new pair of block heels. However, I noticed that I had one issue with all of this that I had left out of the equation — heels can be painful and they’re hard to walk in. These two things combined left me searching for a new solution, one which I could use in my everyday life. After a few weeks of searching, I thought that I had finally found my solution in kitten heels.  However, I was wrong. Here are a few of my gripes with kitten heels.

1. They’re Even Harder to Walk in Than Regular Heels. 

I don’t know how this is possible, but there’s just something about kitten heels that throws off my balance much more than a regular heel. I don’t know if this is a me problem or a more common problem than I would think, but the way that kitten heels are designed just does not lend itself to walking properly. I think that because the heel is so short, my brain expects to be walking in flats, but the extra inch or so of the heel throws me off. At least with higher heels, I know what sort of shenanigans I’m getting myself into.

2. Kitten Heels are Hard to Style. 

Another problem that I have with kitten heels is that they just don’t know what they want to be. Here’s what I mean. Picture a stiletto. Now, picture what sort of outfit you’d wear with a stiletto. Something very specific comes to mind, right? Now, picture what sort of outfit you’d wear with a heeled bootie. Another specific outfit.  Finally, picture what kind of outfit goes with a kitten heel. Does anything come up for you?
