From timeless classics to trendy showstoppers, we’ve got you covered. Our guide will help you navigate the world of high heels with confidence and flair. Get ready to elevate your outfits, boost your confidence and make a statement wherever you go. Let’s dive in so you can discover the perfect pair of heels that will leave you strutting in style.
1. Peep toes
Perfect for the warmer weather or to show off a fresh pedicure, a pair of peep-toe heels are a go-to classic. Usually a pump or slingback, peep toes are characterised by their opening at the toe box which allows the toes to show. More formal than open-toe shoes, the peep toe are a great option for the office or special occasions with their more conservative silhouette. Part of our Comfort Plus range, the Alaska style has been designed to provide you with flexibility and ease, making them one of the most comfortable types of high heels you can buy. With an adjustable statement buckle fastening, you can count on being secure and stylish. Pair with a pencil skirt and a blazer for a classy vibe, or a pair of denim shorts and a loose-fitting t-shirt for a chilled-out look.
2. Wedge heels
Add a little height to your wardrobe with our range of wedge heels. Ideal for those who want to strut their stuff without the unsteadiness of traditional heels, wedges will evenly distribute your weight throughout the sole, so it’s easier and more comfortable to walk. The Linzi style in Rio Black Suede is the perfect choice for a touch of understated flair when it comes to types of women’s heels. With a knotted front strap and soft faux canvas, you can give your feet the platform they deserve, and rock any look. For footwear that can take you from a boozy brunch to going out-out, wedges will keep you feeling comfy but looking amazing.
3. Stilettos
Strut like the high street is your personal catwalk with a showstopping pair of stiletto heels. Defined by the heel itself, a stiletto is typically above two or three inches tall and features a thin heel that is usually less than 10mm in diameter. Give off the wow-factor with a pair of Linzi flame nude patent heels. Featuring all over diamante detailing, nude Perspex and soft faux patent leather – you’re sure to turn heads. Whether they’re for daytime glam or night–time dinners, an iconic pair of stilettos will never fail you.
4. Platform heels
Serve some serious vibes with platform heels. Opposite from stilettos, platforms have a much thicker heel. However, the thicker heel isn’t connected to the entire shoe, which is what sets them apart from wedges. Level up your favourite outfits and add a sprinkle of pzazz to tie everything together. Our Linzi Zuni Black Lizard heels are the ideal option for an eye-catching look. With their soft faux lizard leather and gold buckle detail, you’re sure to cause a stir.
5. Sling back heels
Feeling elegant? Then a pair of sling back heels is the perfect choice for you. Characterised by an ankle strap that crosses only around the back and sides of the ankle and heel, they’re a universally flattering style. Wedding appropriate, yet also an office staple, a pair of sling backs is a wardrobe must have – whether you’re a heels beginner or a seasoned pro. Feel like royalty with our Linzi Berkely Navy Suede heels with their sophisticated wrap around sling back court heel and navy suede finish.
6. Kitten heels
Comfy and classic, you can’t go wrong with kitten heels! A small step up from flats, kitten heels feature a short heel that is usually only between 1.5 and 2 inches tall. Easily taking you from casual to formal, they’re the perfect versatile design to wear for work or events. Get the ‘leg lengthening’ effect without towering above everyone, as kitten heels will give you that subtle uplift and make a glamorous addition to any outfit.
