Every once in a while, a shoe trend comes around that really sticks. You know what I'm talking about? Suddenly, it's the only thing you want to wear or buy. For me, over the past few years, it’s happened with chunky sneakers, mules, PVC sandals, and, most recently, the topic of today’s post: kitten-heel strappy sandals. I simply can’t get enough of them, and seemingly, neither can anyone else on the internet.
As if my own obsession weren’t bad enough, I feel like every time I scroll through Instagram, I come across a new style I'm compelled to add to my collection. While there certainly are the more famous pairs of the season (such as Staud’s and By Far’s iterations), there are countless other options to choose from in a range of colors, silhouettes, and price points, so there’s really no excuse not to get on board. To see and shop some pairs I’m loving right now, and get some styling inspo along the way, just keep scrolling.
This low heel is perfect for day or night.
Reformation's first shoe collection did not disappoint in the slightest.
Barely there and very flattering.
Zara does it again.
All your favorite fashion girls are sporting this Staud style.
The thong-heel trend taken up a notch.
I think I just found a rival to Zara's viral white heels.
Can't go wrong.
This wide heel shape means less pressure on your foot.
Sometimes, the simplest shoes are the best ones.
A statement shoe you won't have a hard time matching with your outfits.
I find that silver is one of the most versatile and useful shoe colors.
Love a slingback.
Mango's under-$100 sandal offering is unparalleled.
The more straps the better.
Classic and modern at the same time.
These sandals are so good, I own them in two colors.
Another pair from my personal collection (though mine are white)!
