9 Cute Mid-Heeled Shoes To Shop If You’re Not Arsed With Stilettos Anymore

It used to be that you could totter around in the highest platforms for the night and, apart from a few breaks to perch on a stool, feel 100% confident and comfortable. Nowadays, wearing heels just holds you back.

If this sounds familiar, know that there is a happy medium between heels and flats, and it’s the mid-heel. There’s no fear of them looking frumpy, either. Trust us.

Very wedding appropriate, right? No need to dive for the complimentary flip flops when you’ve got these beauties on. (Also available in wide fit.)

River Island block heeled sandals, €60

Pink and orange is such a delish colour combo – these will jazz up a black dress with minimal effort.

Raid ankle tie shoes, €41.46

These tick so many of our boxes it’s not even funny. Red? Check. Pointy toe? Check. Cool ankle tie detail? Check. GIMME. (They’re available in gold and black too.)

Just think of the WEAR you’d get out of a pair of cute white sandals. These also come in a delicate cornflower blue, if that’s more your bag.

ASOS slingback heels, €41.48

Did somebody say Chanel? These give the classic court shoe a glitzy, super wearable update.

Topshop leopard sandals, €40

Leopard print is a neutral, as we all know, so technically you could wear these with anything.

Marks and Spencer jewelled shoes, €42

OK, so we’re maybe pushing the limits of what ‘heels’ means here, but if you prefer to stay much closer to the ground, these are a very nice option.

Office rainbow sandals, €71

Look at that rainbow heel! We’re sold.

ASOS studded heels, €55.30

These have more than a hint of Valentino Rockstuds about them – ideal office wear.
