Trends may shift with the seasons, but some heels just never go out of style. These are the timeless silhouettes that manage to look elegant and polished year after year, regardless of what's trending on the runways. From classic pumps to refined slingbacks, certain heels have a way of anchoring an outfit with a sophistication that feels just as fresh now as it did decades ago.
