Taller than a true kitten heel, but still low enough to wear all day, the mid heel is currently experiencing a surge in popularity. I totally get it. This smart heel height is appropriate for all occasions and incredibly flattering. And the growing popularity means that labels are investing some serious creativity into mid heel pumps. Check out five of my current favorites…
This d’Orsay snake-embossed leather pump comes in chic black and elegant nude, but it’s this black and white combo that turned my head. Not only does this shoe look fabulous, the padded insole has customers raving about the comfort in reviews.

These colorful suede pumps are labeled “kitten heel,” but I maintain that the 2 ¼ inch height puts it firmly in mid heel territory. They are available in jade, rose blossom, mink grey, and black – something for everyone.

The combination of a high vamp and python-embossed leather make these pumps feel modern and fashion-forward. I want to pair them with Everlane’s new slim black trouser for a standout wear to work look.
