One of the most versatile and timeless styles of
heels are block heel shoes which provide excellent ankle
and leg support, while still delivering plenty of elegance and style points.
Wittner's collection brings you fashion-forward shoes, perfect for updating
your wardrobe or picking up a new pair for that special occasion. From
red block heels to
nude pairs and everything in between, you'll
love our range of styles to suit any event or accessory-shaped hole in your
closet.
Sick of struggling to stay upright on soft lawn at outdoor weddings? Try a
sandal
style gold block heel for a touch of glamour that’s still laid back and
won’t sink into the grass. For an understated shoe that will take you
from the boardroom to the cafe, you can't go wrong with a classic pair of nude
block heels. Why not throw out all the rules and embrace vibrant brights and
animal prints for a statement-making pair of shoes to dress up your favourite
little black dress? No matter what you’re looking for, you’ll find
it in our collection.

Why are block heels more comfortable?
Block heels have a wider profile than
stilettos, your weight is more evenly
distributed across a larger surface area. Rather than a thin heel base
that carries your full body weight on a small surface, quality
women’s block heels create a more supportive platform that can feel
significantly more comfortable when standing and walking, especially for
long periods of time. A nude or
black block heel is a great option for
all-day wear in the office for this reason. If you’ve experienced
pain or ‘nerve-y’ sensations after wearing thin heels all day,
block heels are a great solution that still look great and feel
sophisticated.
Are block heels better for your feet?
Did you know that heeled shoes can actually be better for your feet than
completely flat ones? Flat shoes may contribute to
the arch of your foot collapsing, which can in turn cause knee pain and
sore leg muscles. With a small block heel, you place less tension on your
Achilles tendon and in turn support your feet better.
Of course, not all shoes are created equal. Good quality shoes that have
been designed not only to look the part but to support your feet will make
all the difference. Wittner’s decades of experience in manufacturing
shoes from premium materials and according to our strict quality standards
guarantee you’ll be treating your feet right when you step out in
them. With beautiful block heel shoes available year-round in our
sale heels collection, you’ll always
find a great pair of comfortable heels that both look and feel just right.
Is it easier to walk in thick heels?
As a block heel gives you a surface area to make contact with the floor,
walking in block heels can be significantly easier than in thin stiletto
heels. You can easily ground yourself as you stride and you will be able
to find your balance more easily when standing still. A thicker heel also
looks great no matter the height, so you can find a beautiful pair of
shoes with a slightly lower heel that will
always make for easier walking.
In general, walking in heels should always start by planting your heel
firmly on the ground, then letting your toe follow naturally as you shift
your weight from your left foot to right. With a solid block heel,
you’ll find it a lot easier to plant your heel securely and walk
smoothly.
What size do I wear in heels?
A properly fitted shoe will always be easier to walk in and feel more
comfortable. Ensuring you have a well-fitted heel is the most important
factor for heels that won’t cause you pain. While Wittner shoes are
designed according to shoe industry standards, all brands may vary
slightly between one another in their sizing.
When it comes to getting the perfect fit on your next pair of block heels,
Wittner has you covered. Our
Find Your Fit guide will walk you through a
few simple steps to measuring your foot size, with this information you
can now get the perfect fitting heel that will feel great no matter how
long you wear them.
