To vamp up a date-night outfit, opt for our Jackie 100 red suede pump with slim T-bar and ankle strap. There are heeled pumps for every occasion. Take a peek at our Icons Collection to choose your next pair!


Which type of heel is the most comfortable?
Not all types of women’s heels mean you will be massaging your feet at the end of a busy day. To feel comfortable all day long, a lower or wider heel is a great option and will provide more support – and they’ll be less chance of sore and aching feet by night-time! If comfort is key, avoid types of high heel shoes with a thinner and higher heel in favour of those that are easier to walk in like mid-heels. Our Cate sandals are a perfect choice and come in many different classy colours. From nude for a day in the office to silver to add a bit of sparkle to evening outfits.


What heel is the easiest to walk in?
Often when you think of different heel types you conjure up images of towering 6-inch stilettos but there are different types of heels to suit all of us. So, if you’re a newbie to heels and fear looking like Bambi on a night out or returning after a hiatus – fear not there are types of high heel shoes perfect for you. The easy-to-slip on, and ultimately walk in, mules are also super comfortable. Our Colette collection is the perfect choice for a bit of height and are one of the easiest heels to wear. Add a splash of colour to stand-out from the crowd and opt for pink or lime to turn heads. If you prefer a bit more height but still want stability Ghazal’s Vivienne transparent mules are great for summer garden parties. Pair with some classic blue jeans and white tank top for that effortless cool look!
