Kitten Heels at Zappos: A Holiday Gift For Our Feet

The Deal: Kitten Heels at Zappos.com, plus free shipping and returns

The Lowdown: While on the whole we love love love an amazing pair of super-high heels (and are apparently willing to subject ourselves to all kinds of pseudo-torture to be cute), sometimes we gotta give our feet a break. Fortunately a resurgence of the kitten heel (last glimpsed in 2008 when the statuesque Michelle Obama brought them front and center) means we can be super cute AND actually walk unassisted.

Perhaps the best thing about kitten heels is they can fulfill the function of both the flat and the high heel, meaning maximum versatility, taking you from day to evening, or workday to weekend. With a dress? Check. A suit? Check. Skinny jeans? Check. Zappos has our kitten heel needs covered — our picks under
