Let’s Chat About the Kitten Heels Revival

Kitten heels were my first shoe love. They do say you always remember your first, how true these old sayings often turn out to be…

It was 1968, I was 5, they were white satin pointy toes, with kitten heels. Of course I had no idea at the time, that these beautiful things on my tiny feet had a name other than ‘shooos’. They were my Mum’s wedding shoes!

Flash forward to 1980 I had every colour under the sun, all with a kitten heel.

Kitten Heels

So you can imagine how overjoyed I was to hear they are back, although I know they have been quietly returning to the catwalks for the last few seasons.

A quick search of my shoe shelves,and I was delighted to find; a purple suede pair by Hobbs (Soft as butter) and a pair of black velvet mules by LK Bennett. A  big high five to me for not parting with shoes just because fashion dictates eh?

My new pair of Kitten heels:

I have also succumbed to the lure of the high Street. I recently purchased this marvellous Zebra patterned pair from Next. (they also do them in leopard print) this pair me cost a reasonable £32.00.

The Kitten heels already in my wardrobe:

The old reliables, from the 90’s…so pleased I kept these.

Purple pair by Hobbs: so comfy with reinforced soles at the tip of the toe. They are as soft as butter I’ve had this pair for about 8 years! Did you know Hobbs started as a shoe retailer back in 1981 in Hampstead?

Another pair of old favourite Kitten heels, Black Velvet Mules by LK Bennett: not easy to walk in but oh so sexy and  great for dancing (you can kick them off easily)  I have had these since 1993.

My Fantasy Kitten heels list.

Once upon a time, I was silly enough and young enough to spend stupid money on shoes and handbags. So I’m not going to call this a ‘wish list’ because I dont ever want to encourage spending silly money on shoes. Life is far too short. Think about it you could have a family city break instead and explore europe for the price of these shoes. Making memories means more to me these days.

Today my younger self would be eyeing up these, just for fun. Let me explain none of them can be bought for under £400…!

High Street Kitten heels

Had to be done, I am loving this shopping comparison game! Also gives me a chance to ‘just look’ at whats available.

From Topshop, Mango and Zara! None of these are over £80…
