Trendspotting: 7 Shoes with Square Block Heels

Stilettos are so overrated. Sure they’re sexy, but can’t we get the height of stilettos without getting the uncomfortable feeling from teetering on our heels and the pain from standing on our toes?

The fashion gods must be listening to me because I got my answer in the form of this new upcoming trend in shoes: square block heels.

Here are 7 square block heeled shoes that I found over at Heels.com and Zappos.com, two online shoe stores with the most updated fashion picks. Check out these killer heels – and I don’t mean that in the “they’ll torture your feet” sense:

Fergie Blitz Pump, $69.29 – $98.99 depending on color

Jessica Simpson Sabina, $109.99 (This gorgeous shoe is featured in this blog post as well)

Kensie Girl Taylor Heel, $56.99

Jessica Simpson Cally Heel, $80.99

Donna Karan 893991, $235.00 (Love the tri-colored textured leather!)

Moschino CA1621AC1P SF2, $274.00 (These would look great with floral summer dresses)

Calvin Klein Collection Nile, $295.00 (Unconventional heels seem to be the current theme for the Calvin Klein Collection brand)

High heel lovers (and my feet) are singing praises for block heels. The very high ones will still arch my feet, but at least I don’t have to balance my whole body on a single pin-thin heel.

Would you trade in your stilettos for square heels?
