How do I choose a heel height that is comfortable but still looks refined?

Part of our Comfort & Craft series — a guide to understanding what truly makes luxury heels wearable.

Heel comfort depends more on balance than on height alone. Many women find that a well-balanced heel with proper support feels easier to wear than a lower heel with poor construction.

Platforms reduce the angle of the foot, while block heels offer added stability. A carefully designed stiletto can also feel comfortable when the pitch and internal support are properly engineered. A comfortable heel should feel secure the moment you stand in it.
