Kitten heels are the type of shoes that are often associated with older ladies. Still, the irony is that kitten heels were initially designed in the 1950s with the intention of making it a form of training heels for girls who had not yet come of age—kittens, as they were deemed too young to wear the grown women's high-heel stilettos.

The kitten heels are just shorter versions of the stilettos, with slight curves elevating the heels from the backs of the shoes. Kitten heels are usually below 5 cm and are more comfortable than the stilettos. They are trendy and come in various forms to suit one's preferences.

Hence, whether someone is of the opinion that kitten heels belong to older or younger ladies, the fact remains that kitten heels are back in fashion. As is the trend these days, almost everyone is seen wearing them. On that note, here are some of the kitten heels that would be worth the investment in 2023.
