It’s a satisfying moment when a glamorous look also happens to err on the side of comfort. This is the case with party heels which are ostensibly of a sensible height (praise be!) this season. It’s all thanks to Gucci’s diamanté slingback, which has grown in popularity since the summer (FYI, Mango has a sell-out dupe), spurring a return to kitten heels and low-heeled slingbacks. These are no ordinary low-level shoes though, they’re disco-ready. Think metallic finishes, intense embellishment and costume gems and jewels for the win. Shop the best below – your feet will thank you.
