clockwise from top left: Rocha.John Rocha purple suede rose toe kitten heels, £35 from Debenhams. Miu Miu kitten heel pumps, now £157 from mytheresa.com. Alberta Ferretti gladiator kitten heels, now £223 from theOutnet.com. Brian Atwood Leona patent slingbacks, now £130 from theOutnet.com.
Apparently, kitten heels are back! True, a lot of the offerings out there still bring up bad memories of the 1980s revival of said heel height. But there's hope for those of us who either cannot walk in skyscraper shoes or are just taller than most people around us (I happen to know a bit about both categories). Designers like Miu Miu and Alberta Ferretti have successfully placed comfort, style, and kitten heels in the same sentence much like Manolo Blahnik accomplished during the latest KH comeback in 2003. But for those of you with shallow pockets like me, high street shops have lots to tout this time around, too.

Love your pick! I'll have to see if they ship to the States.
[At six feet, kitten heels are perfect for me. :)]
Jamie: Sadly, I don't think they do ship to the States. Obviously you can sift through Zappos or Endless.com (or do a search) but there are some fun Sam Edelman ones at Piperlime.com, too. The Sams aren't suede; they're faux snakeskin with a buckle at the front. Worth a look! And then you can always browse Nordstrom.
I'll keep you in mind if I see any as the trend progresses, though! I'm always looking on both sides of the Atlantic.
Aw, that's too bad. (Incidently I had an out-of-the-blue reunion this week with a friend I haven't seen in years, and during the process of trying to figure out what to where, these shoes were all I could think of! :P)
Thanks for keeping me in mind! And I'll let you know if I find a similar style somewhere else. :)
