Everyone knows that heels make the legs look great. But sometimes, beauty is literally pain, and those sky-high shoes aren’t always practical. Enter the sensible kitten heels, the comfortable alternative to towering stilettos and heels.

Ahead, some of the newfangled ways the kitten heels are shaping up for Fall/Winter 2022.
