Wide-Fit Block Heels Shopping Guide | Cute Wide-Width Heels

Block heels are the heel-hater’s heel. (Say that five times fast.) They offer you major lift and the sleek look of pumps—but without the discomfort one might get from many classic heels. Honestly? It’s a win-win situation. And thankfully, there are an abundance of chic wide-fit block heels ready to make your acquaintance (and join your shoe collection, STAT).

Nothing is quite as frustrating as throwing on a pair of shoes only to have to slip them off moments later. When you show up to a soiree, night out with the BFFs, or even the office, there should be no reason to take off your heels. At the very least, your shoes should last you through until you can get home, put on pajamas, and turn on Netflix—not start to hurt your feet an hour into wearing them.

Though we can’t promise every pair of wide-fit block heels will feel like wearing fuzzy slippers, they’re a wonderful alternative to sky-high stilettos. If your arches can’t handle more than a few minutes in heels, perhaps skip them all together—or at least go for a kitten heel. But for those who just want a shoe that’s a bit more comfortable than other pairs, block heels are definitely the answer.

Available in every style (and height) imaginable, there’s no shortage of block heels to shop these days. Try a pair of chunky block heel mules for a gorgeous street style ensemble. Or, opt for some barely-there block heels to top off your favorite going-out look. The possibilities? Endless. The pain? Lessened.
