The Most Exciting Types of Heels You Must Own

High heels have made a huge impact in today’s fashion industry. Through ages, different types of heels have been worn by both men and women. Heels were not only apparel of the feet, but it was also a medium to show dominance towards women and show the patriarchal inequality. Thus, high heels have always been symbolized by actresses and models of different eras. In fact, women’s high heels have been linked to their femininity, sexuality, and appearance. 

In today’s era, heels are not associated with one type only, there are numerous options out there! Some of them can be checked down below:

1. BLOCK HEELS

These are the type of heels that you could wear on a daily basis. They are pain-free, sleek, and give an ample height without having to trip over. Women all over the globe work in different types of environments, block heels give them the opportunity to look classy and yet be comfortable.
