The block heel is everywhere on and off the Red Carpet not to mention British and Hollywood Royalty.  If you love wearing a heel but your feet can’t take the pain, check out this season’s block heel shoes.

You too can kill it like Nicole Kidman, and strut like Salma Hayek.

As you’re picking out a knockout outfit for your office Christmas party or just a spirited night out, you’ll want a pair of block heels. Though stilettos are stylish, admit it our feet don’t love them.  We think you’ll love sporting the click clack of this hottest shoe trend.


Movie actress Jennifer Garner was seen cruising down the streets of LA in a pair of block heel sandals that wrap around her ankle with a simple strap in a gorgeous saddle color. Find this same open toed look in Sam Edelman Yaro Ankle Strap Sandal. His modern and minimal take on this trend will be your wardrobe essential this season, and in those to come.

No one has been around the Hollywood block like Meryl Streep. Most well known in the world of fashion for her role in The Devil Wears Prada, it was no surprise that the thorough and intense actor learned a thing or two about trends playing big time editor, Miranda Presley. That’s why when we saw her sporting a pair of full platform casual sandals, we knew she was onto something. A close cousin to the block heel, this platform heel acts as a comfortable counterpart that can be worn all day. Don’t believe us? Have yourself feeling like Miranda with a pair of the Minorca High Platforms.

Michelle Yeoh has been doing quite a bit of red carpet walking, due to the premiere of her movie Crazy Rich Asians this past year. All that standing, walking, hand shaking, and photo taking must allow for a lot of wear and tear on your feet. Logically, Michelle took notice of the stylish block heel trend and bought herself a pair for her next event. Get a little dressier, and a little more height with a beautiful replica of Yeoh’s block heeled, platform sandals. Available in many shades of luxurious velvet, the Steve Madden Kenny Ankle Wrap Sandal is sure to make you the envy of all your coworkers and friends.

Due to the fact that they must look presentable and fashionable at all times. No one knows footwear like the royals. That’s why it came to no surprise when we saw Kate Middleton ahead of the trend in her high end, closed toed, block heels. If open toed shoes aren’t for you, slip your feet into a pair of the unique Tori Mule made by Halogen. The alluring abbreviated top line, and open backing will allow you to slip from casual to dressy while still remaining comfortable.

Though she chose a low stiletto as opposed to a block heel, Nicole Kidman’s breathtaking style at the amazing age of 51 cannot go unnoticed. Since Nicole can 100% afford an expensive pair of comfortable yet stylish stilettos that she can wear all night, we decided to transform her heels to fit the trend that we know and love. If you loved her little, black pumps with pointed toe, and delicate bow at the ankle, you love these baby blue Steve Madden Pearl Pumps. You get the same pointed toe and beautiful bow, but with a comfortable block heel, so you can stay stylish, and possibly trendier than the movie star herself.

I personally don’t know how Sanya Hayek stays so chic all year round. She looks stunning, and absolutely ready to take on the world in her glitzy, Gucci, block heeled sandals. Jazz up your heel even more like Sanya in Alice + Olivia’s glammed out Renia Crystal Heel Sandal. The multicolored crystals adorning the heel, atop a suede lining will have you glittering down the street, leaving a trail of envious onlookers like Sanya.
