Here’s How You Can Wear Block Heels This Winter Season
Do you want to add centimetres to your height this winter without worrying about toppling or falling over?
If yes, you need a pair of block heels to feel secure and stable while navigating different slippery surfaces. While looking good helps boost your self-confidence, never attempt a look that will risk your health.
When you need height, we suggest sticking with these pairs, as they distribute your weight evenly and relieve the pressure from the balls of your feet, legs, and lower back.
Never attempt to wear a pair of stilettos because they are very prone to accidents, especially in extreme weather. To help you find ways to maximise block heels during the winter, allow our team from Oh Hi to share what they know on the matter. Let’s dive right in so you can discover your options!
1. Choose the height
The incredible thing about block heels is that they can be low or high. Early on, you can choose if you prefer to be nearer the ground, as this option is more comfortable for longer durations, or if you aim to be taller and can stand and walk confidently that way.
Shorter block heels come at a height of 2.5–5.5 cm, while high ones come at a staggering height of more than 7.5cm. Thankfully, you remain comfortable with the shoe's load distribution capacity.
Check out the pointy ankle-strapped pair of this footwear with a height of 5.5cm. These shoes cover your toes, which adds the warmth you need in winter.
We recommend wearing tights or hosiery to bring warmth to the feet. The presence of ankle straps adds security to ensure your shoes won't fly off when you're navigating slippery surfaces.
You can check out the heeled loafers at Oh Hi for more height. These pairs have a platform sole in the front and a thick, broad heel at the back, which makes your feet level. Your stability and balance won't be affected.
Not only will you remain secure, but you will also look stylish with this footwear. Loafers and blazers go together like milk and honey.
Go to work this winter wearing a black turtleneck paired with black trousers. Complete the ensemble with a grey checked blazer and your loafer block heels. Add a long coat when the temperature goes lower.
2. Choose the colour
Turn your dull and grey winter around by adding colours to brighten your day. The Oh HI block heel collection comes in nine attractive colours: black, clear, green, natural, pink, silver, tan, vanilla, and white.
How about adding a green pair of block heels to your winter wardrobe this year?
Green is an excellent colour that evokes optimism and calmness, which we need when things turn frustrating and gloomy during the winter. Choose from Oh Hi's four kinds of green block heels. Some have ankle straps, while others are mule platforms.
As mentioned, it's better to have straps and fastenings in your shoes during the winter for added security. You will love these online exclusive green pairs because of their silky material, signature top strap covered with an oversized bow, and buckled ankle strap for adjustable comfort and security.
Since these shoes will expose some parts of your feet, it's best to wear tights or hosiery with them for more heat.
3. Choose the style
In selecting which style of block heels to wear this winter, here are some reminders you can apply to narrow down the choices. Ensure that your options can pass through these requirements.
- Can they keep you warm? Heat is a must for your block heels during winter. If they are open instead of closed, will there be a fashionable way to produce heat? If hosiery and tights will go well with your chosen block heels, go for it!
- Are your shoes breathable? Whether open or closed, ensure that there's a way for air to circulate in your block heels so that moisture can escape. Lack of breathability can cause bacterial and fungal build-up. You can also get sick quickly when your block heels trap moisture because the cold can seep inside your body via your feet.
- Does it have a firm grip? Winter can be tricky and hazardous to navigate because of inclement weather and slippery ground and surfaces. Thankfully, block heels are stable and cover more ground than stilettos.
With all these considerations, which shoe best fits the profile?
Check out the collection of boots at Oh Hi. These shoes have the coverage and warmth to fight off the chill and block heels for the additional height you crave.
The boot collection at Oh Hi comes in three categories: ankle, long, and knee-high. Choose one based on the coverage you require.
From the ankle collection, we recommend the pull-on block heels. With a height of 3cm, these boots are at a comfortable level. While there are no fastenings, the elastic side gussets ensure this footwear provides a snug fit.
The gusset expands to accommodate any foot shape or thicker socks. The sleek and stylish leather look finish of these block heels will look amazing with a vintage leather jacket and denim jeans. Accessorise with scarves and a beanie for more warmth.
Don't think you won't be able to wear your short clothes in winter because you can, with the help of long or knee-high boots. Elevate your winter vibe with cowboy boots from Oh Hi, with small block heels, pointy toes, and stylish detailing.
These calf-length boots can provide more warmth once you've zipped them in place. Wear your mini dress or skirt with this pair and tights for a cosy Western vibe!
