OK, I feel like I’m skipping the part of my life where I willingly go out in 4-inch heels on the daily, and then when I realize it’s not worth the pain I switch to a more ~practical~ height. No, instead I definitely went straight into the latter phase, strictly wearing sneakers and “granny” heels because 1. I’m so clumsy it’s amazing and 2. I refuse to function normally if I am uncomfortable in any way, although we’ll stick to the physical aspect of that statement today.
It’s definitely fate that when I entered my twenties the kitten/granny heel trend started to take off, and I can’t believe I just wrote that. I always dreamed of the days when I would be able to go out with friends and shimmy around the city in my Jimmy Choo’s, but that was another fallacy provided by SATC. If you’re feeling the same way and can’t stand the traditional heel either, you’re in luck. Here are over 60 fresh takes on the modernized baby-heel. Scroll down to shop.
