High heeled work pumps should be able to be comfortable *and* fashionable, pain-free and fashion forward at the same time.
Two inches is a minimal heel height for the office, but there are some lovely heels in this height. Best of all, my pick will help you to look corporate slick without sacrificing comfort.
If you’re smitten by the kitten, then I can totally recommend the MK Flex Kitten Pump from the MICHAEL Michael Kors range (affiliate link).
The Flex Kittens are not only highly rated as great for work, but they’re also hot on comfort too. Designer Michael Kors made his fortune in sportswear and his work heels reflect his focus on a pain-free ride.
The key to comfort with this pump is in the name: the Flex Kittens are created with a flexible, foot-friendly shoe design that is focussed on comfort. A lightly cushioned leather footbed plus soft leather upper are both wearer-friendly too.
I’ve checked out some of the cool things that people are saying online about the Flex Kittens, and they include comments like this:
- I wear them to work all the time, even at my standing desk
- True to size and easy height for every day wear to work
- Very comfortable and the heel is just the right height for a long day of work
- They are amazing for work and look fantastic with skirts and pants. You will not be disappointed and they will be a staple for any closet!
- Good work shoe for a professional look
However my favorite review comes from Los Angeles reviewer Stefanie E who said:
I walk a LOT between meetings in a large corporate office, and need comfortable but stylish business shoes. These were comfortable straight out of the box! No breaking in needed! The heels aren’t too high, but also are not too low that they look like granny heels…
Stefanie also said:
I’m picky about any pinching, tight fits, wobbly heels, unbalanced feeling, etc., because who has time for pain during a workday? No pinching or pain points with these. These pumps have consistently performed on both comfort and conservative style.
One final thing to note with these pumps is that they’re from the MICHAEL range by Michael Kors. MICHAEL is Michael Kors’ affordable label, meaning you’ll get a famous designer and quality materials but without the absolute high end price.
