The Best Kitten Heels in Every Style |Best Knockoff Luxury Clothing

last updated 16 October 2025

In recent years, flat shoes have surged in popularity, while sky-high stilettos have been cooling down. That isn’t to say that heels are completely absent from outfits among the fashion set. In fact, quite the opposite. Kitten heels, in particular, are more popular than ever. Looking to what we’re seeing on everywhere from editor outfits in NYC to the street style scene in Milan and Paris, shoes finished with one- to two-inch kitten heels are arguably the most popular footwear choice of the moment.

Whether you’re in the market for strappy heels, slingbacks, or boots, there are beautiful kitten heel shoes that are editor approved. They are truly a classic style that stands the test of time, which is why you’ll find so many great options from brands such as Manolo Blahnik, The Row, and Toteme with timeless, seasonless designs. Ahead, shop the edit of the best kitten heels to add to your wardrobe.
