Heel Heights Explained: From 1 Inch Kittens to 4 Inch Stilettos
Low heels of 1 to 2 inches keep pace on long commutes. Mid heels of 2 to 3 inches are the workday standard. High heels of 3 to 4 inches suit dinners where most of the evening is spent seated. Anything taller belongs to stilettos and platforms made for short, dressy nights. Heel height shows on every product page, so comparing a 2 inch pump with a 3 inch pump takes no guesswork.
Block heels give a wider base for dancing and cobblestones. Platforms cut the incline of a tall heel, so a 4 inch platform pump feels closer to 3 inches. Ankle straps keep a heel in place on the dance floor. Planning a ceremony? Browse wedding shoes or dress sandals, or switch to dress flats for the reception. Strappy styles in satin or metallic finishes pair with a cocktail dress, and a leather block heel pairs with trousers. Shop online at dsw.ca, browse on the DSW app, or visit a DSW Canada store to try pairs on in person. DSW VIP members earn rewards and get access to members-only offers.

Women's Heels FAQs
What heel height is most comfortable?
A block heel of 2 to 3 inches is the most comfortable for most people walking a full day.
Are block heels better than stilettos for walking?
Yes. A block heel spreads weight across a wider base, which steadies each step.
How do I stop heels from slipping at the back?
Add a heel grip or choose a style with an ankle strap or a snug heel counter.
Platforms reduce the effective incline, so they feel lower than their listed heel height.
