taupe slingback heel in patent leather with three criss-crossy buckles across the vamp

I fondly remember a pair of low kitten heels I had (possibly even a shorter heel than this) because they were the perfect thing to wear with full-length pants in summer if I also wanted to commute in flats. They haven’t been in for a long while, now, but suddenly there are a ton of kitten heels out there, and I’m liking the trend.

The pictured kitten heel, from Steve Madden, has a bit of interest with the criss-crossing triple buckles across the vamp… I think the shoes definitely have a casual S&M kind of vibe, but not in a way that’s too much for work. (That’s just my opinion, though; know your office!)

The shoes come in the pictured taupe and a black patent, and are marked down — they were $99, but now come to $60, with lots of sizes left. (There are only a few ratings, but they’re good ones!)

If you like the price point but are looking for something more basic, this pair from Steve Madden is similar but without the buckles; Nordstrom has a bunch right now from brands like Sam Edelman, Franco Sarto, Open Edit, Dolce Vita, Jeffrey Campbell, and Steve Madden. Looking for something fancier? Check out Sarah Flynt, Stuart Weitzman, and M.M.LaFleur.
