They’re edgy, they’re comfortable and most of all, they’re very in. Yes, block heels are the heels to own right now and it all comes down to the styles and shapes you want to adopt!

While at some point they were considered as the ultimate crimes against fashion a woman can commit, they’ve recently re-emerged as the It heels to wear. Granted, we all love ourselves a pair of sky-high stilettos, but are the pains and blisters worth all the trouble? To save you from all the unwanted troubles, designers have created a little something called “block heels”, specifically made to make your lives – and ours – just a tad better! Along came the block-heeled mules, the block-heeled sandals and the block-heeled everything.

So what’s so great about these beauties? Well, for starters, they go perfectly well with pretty much everything – from your average denims to skirts and dresses. Also, they can upgrade any outfit with nothing but sheer elegance. To help you out, we’ve scoured the most wanted block heels in the Photo Gallery below.
