Here in the 21st century, women are no longer willing to settle for one thing or the other. They don't want a career or a family; they want both. They don't want a relationship or a fulfilling social life filled with friends; they want both. The same line of reasoning applies to the modern woman's approach to fashion.
Today's woman expects her footwear to be comfortable, practical, and stylish. That's exactly why block heel booties are having such a moment right now. They're the perfect marriage of all the elements women are looking for in a fall shoe.
Why Go with Block Heels?
There are several reasons to forgo stilettos or other more traditional heels in favor of block heels. Let us count the ways!
Comfort
Every woman loves the graceful look and the height that comes along with high heels. What they're not so nuts about are the pain and discomfort that come along with them. This is especially the case when it comes to long days spent working on one's feet.
Today's block heels are every bit as stylish and feminine as other high heels, but they're also a lot more practical when it comes to everyday wear. You can do everything in them from painting the town red on a date, to working, to spending the day running errands or driving the kids around.
Versatility
Not every look is a great fit for stilettos or flats. However, you can pair anything from jeans, to dresses, to shorts with block heels and still look fabulous. They're also available from a multitude of designers, come in just about every color under the sun, and can be found attached to just about every kind of footwear there is. Whatever the look you might have in mind, it's sure to go perfectly with a block heel.
In short, block heels represent the very best of both worlds - the elegant, leg-flattering look of a heel without the pain, discomfort, or safety issues that tend to come along with them.
