The Best Block Heels This Summer
11/19/2023
Hey you, yes you. We heard you’re on the hunt for the best block heels. Well, you’ve come to the right place. You’re likely after a heel that does it all, not too flat or too high, a heel that’s just right. For you, durability and versatility are key. The ideal block heel stands the test of time while pairing with your entire wardrobe. We’ve got you.
Cue, this season’s summer block heels. We’ve fused our favourite things and crafted a collection that feels good and looks it, too. It’s all about sleek minimalist uppers set on sculptural bases, there’s no limit on buckles and braided straps are here to stay (in a big way).
While we’ve nailed how they look, it’s all about quality for us. Each heel is crafted from Leather Working Group (LWG)-certified leather, these legends ensure each tannery adheres to a strict protocol, focusing on energy and water usage, waste management, the control of chemicals and more. They’re the best.
Whether you’re on the hunt for minimalism or keen to make a statement, we’ve rounded an all-star cast that will leave you wanting more (than one pair).
Sisserou
A warm-weather wardrobe isn’t complete without the best block heel. Featuring our signature hand-woven straps set on a wood-stacked heel, Sisserou is the strappy staple with a summer edge.
Leilani couldn’t agree more, “I fell in love with these heels at first sight and they are perfect to wear. The sole feels very supportive and cushioned, and the straps don’t dig in at all. So easy to dress up or down - I wear them everywhere!”
Hoopoe 2
If summer were a block heel, it would be Hoopoe 2. Fitted with an adjustable ankle, mid-foot and front strap allowing for a completely customisable fit. The buckle detail adds a touch of gold to every summer outfit.
Teresa gets it, “They are quite literally the most versatile shoes. And of course, live up to the level of comfort I have come to expect from Bared.”
Leafbird
Simple, yet undoubtedly chic, Leafbird is that heel worth talking about. Set on a wood-stacked heel and fitted with two iconic woven straps designed to frame the foot, you won’t know yourself in this iconic summer staple.
Jodie has worn hers on repeat, “Love these shoes! Took them on a 3-week holiday and wore them out every night. Super stylish while easy to walk long distances in.”
Akekee
Akekee is the understated summer heel that transitions from brunch to drinks effortlessly. Featuring three fully adjustable straps, this game-changer will add a touch of sophistication to any outfit, all while delivering all-day comfort.
Just like the others. Embedded in every pair, you’ll find our iconic biomechanical footbed. This magic-making machine provides all-day comfort with every perfectly shaped contour. The arch shape is designed to aid foot function and reduce pressure on the heel, while the heel cup cradles the heel providing next-level support.
Elachura
A staple style that will go with everything in your summer wardrobe, Elachura is a crowd-favourite and for good reason. Word on the street, they’re crazy comfortable. Whether it’s the two thick straps to support the foot or stable heel height, you won’t want to wear anything else.
Honestly, don’t take our word for it. Erin is converted, “I hate wearing heels as I can never find a good fit. But after hearing all these good things about Bared, I decided to try. Bought this pair for a wedding, and not only did it fit my wide feet, it was comfortable. ALL. DAY. Do it. Buy the shoes.”
Bring The Heat
Now you’re all set, get ready for the warm weather and pick your player. Whether you’re jumping on the woven trend or opting for minimalism, you’re guaranteed a pair of block heels to last you through the seasons.
