Women are spoilt for choice when it comes to shoes. Maybe that is why they never seem satisfied with their collection. Most men cannot begin to understand how so many women actually enjoy shopping for shoes. This is one of lifes big mysteries as far as men are concerned. Men look upon shoes as just a necessity, like wearing a belt to keep their trousers up. The belt is just a piece of leather with a buckle on it and a shoe is something to protect and keep your feet warm. Not so with women; their shoes are as important as anything else they may be wearing.
Amongst the huge array of womens shoe designs is the range known as kitten heels. These heels first came into fashion more than fifty years ago and were often considered as a kind of high heel shoe fit for precocious young teen girls. The thinking was that these girls were some way off being eligible to wear a full size high heel and therefore these easier to walk on, and less provocative heels, were more suitable for a younger teenager. In effect, they were thought of as a beginners high heel. For this reason it was also initially known as a trainer heel.
This view has changed as the shoe has become a big fashion hit with people of all ages and sizes. In one practical sense they are an excellent size for the taller woman who wants to wear heels but doesnt want to accentuate her height too much. Today the kitten heel is found on all types of shoe and is particularly popular on some designer ankle boots.A kitten heel on womens boots has become a smash hit with all shoe designers. Fashion models are often seen wearing them on the catwalks all over the capital cities of the world. They have been hugely successful in the last year or two on clog shoes The slight curve of the heel which does not exist on its big sister, the high heel lends a unique attractiveness to it which looks good on
women's boots as well as many other type of shoe.
The definition of a kitten heel is a heel that is anything below one inch and up to one and a half inches long. The most popular ones are at the lower end of that range of heights.The slight curve to the shape as described above is also to be found on most versions of this heel.
Much as most women enjoy wearing high heels, there are times when the kitten heel is a much more comfortable compromise. The design of the kitten heel usually results in a softer and more comfortable ankle support. It is also a shoe whichbeing generally a lot more comfortable to wear, is popular in everyday use, in the office and at home. Even something like dancing is a lot easier than it is with high heels.
