What’s a few inches tall and red all over?
The answer to this revamped riddle is the simple, yet seminal, ‘red heels’ that have existed for decades from the itty bitty 2-inchers to the envy-inducing 8-inchers. Without a doubt, this ravishing fashion statement is best known for blessing the soles of Judy Garland or, more recently, gracing every inch of Cheryl Blossom’s Riverdale wardrobe.
The greatest (and also worst!) thing about this shoe colour’s notoriety is that there are thousands of options, so to make things easier we picked our top five red heels for every style and look so you can channel your inner Vicky Page anywhere and anytime!
Seductive Satin Stilettos
First up is a chic pair of 4-inch red high heels by Pleaser from the Classique 20 line. These pointed stilettos are lined with satin on the outside for an elegant addition to any dress, suit, or daytime outfit. They’re also moderately off the ground so you can get a lengthening boost without the discomfort!
Flower Power Platforms
Roses are red, violets are blue, and there just so happens to be roses in this shoe! Straight from the Adore 708FL Pleaser collection, these red ankle strap heels are 7 inches tall with flowers brimming all the way to their 2 ¾ inch platforms. The clear plastic straps make these platform sandals ideal for pole dancers, while the sleek modern design makes them ready for the party or the gig!
Decadent Dorothy Heels
“Get Happy” and get ready to tap your red heels to go to a place that’s not quite home with these Pleasers! Appropriately from the Dorothy 01 line, these red block heels come coated in sequins on top of a not-so-cowardly 2-inch heel perfect for long nights walking on a brick road. Use these shoes to complete a costume or to add a little sparkle to your Saturday nights (sans the tornado of course).
Strappy Suede Sandals
Just like everyone on a Friday night, these Delight 679 red-heeled sandals are young, strappy, and hungry! Beautifully designed with suede and knot-ready crisscrossing ankle straps, these 6-inch heels were designed to make a statement. The 1 ¾ inch platform and open-toe feature also add a tantalising vibe to your feet for date night or singles night!
Shiny Snake Skin Shoes
Both Nancy Sinatra and these red boots are made for walkin’ and that’s just what they’ll do. Made out of only vegan materials, these Flamingo 1020SP 8-inch heeled and 4-inch platformed boots are coated in a glossy patent snake print. The vivid colours of red and black give these boots an edgy look for any dance routine or daytime strut!
Drop ‘Red’ Gorgeous Heels
From suede to sequin, red shoes have dominated fashion, pop culture, and our closets ever since Kinky Boots hit the stage and Footloose hit the screens. And while no one can rock a pair of red heels like the greats, we can still (metaphorically) step into their red shoes and make them our own.
